Verse 19·VR 3.26.19

दृष्ट्वा एव आपततः ताम् तु राघवः सायकैः शितैः || ३-२६-१९ तीक्ष्ण अग्रैः प्रतिजग्राह संप्राप्तान् अतिथीन् इव |

duuShaNam nihatam shrutvaa tasya ca eva padaanugaan || 3-26-23vyaadidesha kharaH kruddho sena adhyakshaan mahaabalaan |

Translation

As one would receive guests meeting his basic needs, Raghava too took on these untimely guests of war, rather the insurgents, meeting their basic needs which now are no more than highly sharpened acute edged arrows, when he saw them coming and falling upon him, inopportunely. [3-26-19b, 20a]
