Sreerama killed Khara and Dooshana. A demon came with the news to their king Ravana.

O the chief of Rakshasas! O Emperor

O valiant soul who subdued Indra’s pride

 

O vanquisher of enemies, your sister was

mutilated in the forest by a man

 

Lakshmana is his name, and

his brother Rama is a brave man

 

Just as Kamadeva lives with Rati

Rama lives on earth with wife Sita

 

If you think of her beautiful form

O Lord, she is a good match for you
