English Scholarly Translation
Beholding that best of monkeys tied up with bark and liberated from the binding of the weapon Indrajit reflected that the binding force of the Brahma weapon became powerless when there was any other binding. “Alas, (those Räkşas) have rendered my mighty deed fruitless. They know not the action of Mantras. (That the action of a Brahma mantra upon one is multified if one is bound physically) And on the Brahma weapon being baffled, any other weapon cannot effect anything; and thus we thus we have all been placed in a critical predicament."
