ततः then, मारीचः Maricha, एवम् in that way, वचनम् words, उक्त्वा spoken, रात्रिंचरप्रभोः of the king of the nightrangers, भयात् out of fear, दीनः distressed , गच्छाव let us both go, इति thus, रावणम् to Ravana, अब्रवीत् said.

Having thus spoken to the demonking, the distressed Maricha said out of fear, Let both of us go. Maricha goes to Rama's cottage transformed into a wonderful deer and wanders-- Sita wonders at the deer.
