अहम् I, तत् that, अन्तरम् opportunity, लब्ध्वा having seized, आहवे in war, शक्रहन्तारम् that one who was to be slayer of Indra, सप्तधा into seven parts, अभिदम् severed, देवि O Devi, त्वम् you, क्षंतुम् to forgive, अर्हसि it is proper.

"I have seized the opportunity and severed into seven pieces the foetus who would have been a slayer of Indra. O Devi shoudn't you forgive me"? इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये बालकाण्डे षट्चत्वारिंशस्सर्ग:।। Thus ends the fortysixth sarga of Balakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
