राक्षसःप्रचकम्पे च लक्ष्मणेषुप्रपीडितः | रुद्रबाणहतंघोरंयथात्रिपुरगोपुरम् || ६-७१-७४
The Rakshasa , tormented by Lakshmana's arrow, then trembled violently as when the terrific town-gate of Tripura City, (built of gold, silver and iron in the sky, air and earth by Maya for the demons) was struck by Shiva's arrow. [6-71-74]
चिन्तयामासचाश्वास्यविमृश्य च महाबलः | साधुबाणनिपातेनश्लाघनीयोऽसिमेरिपुः || ६-७१-७५
Recovering from the hurt and reflecting, the Rakshasa contemplated the course of action, and said 'By releasing the arrow on me you are an enemy worthy of praise." [6-71-75]
