uta rāvana ita Rāma dohāī। jayati jayati jaya parī larāī॥ nisicara sikhara samūha ḍhahāvahim। kūdi darahim kapi pheri calāvahim॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Here the cry is Ravana, and there the cry is Rama. As the shout of Victory rose, the battle broke out. The demons hurl heaps of mountain peaks; the monkeys leap up, seize them, and throw them back at them.
