ततः then, रामः Rama, कामपाशावपाशिताम् to one who was overcome by lust, शूर्पणखाम् to Surpanakha, स्वच्छया with clear, श्लक्ष्णया with lucid, वाचा with words, स्मितपूर्वम् with a smile, अथ then, अब्रवीत् said.

To Surpanakha bound by the noose of passion Rama with a smile replied in a clear, lucid manner: Rama directs Surpanakha to Lakshmana-- Surpanakha approaches Lakshmana to marry her -- Lakshmana cuts her nose and ears-- Surpanakha narrates the event to Khara.
