प्रभो O lord, महेन्द्रोपम् like Indra, भीमविक्रम hero of immense valour, नरेश्वर lord of men, शराभितप्तेन excruciating pain caused by the arrow, विचेतसा loss of consciousness, अजानता without knowing, मया by me, त्वम् you, यत् since, प्रदूषितः blamed very much, मे I, इदम् thus, क्षमस्व forgive, त्वम् you, प्रसादितः be pleased.

'Pray, O mighty prince, hero of immense valour, pardon me for the words of blame I unwittingly hurled at you. I said all that in excruciating pain caused by your mighty arrow and in confusion of what is right and what is wrong.' इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये किष्किन्धाकाण्डे अष्टादशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the eighteenth sarga of Kishkindakanda of the Holy Ramayana, the first epic, composed by sage Valmiki.
