## The Sixty-Seventh Chapter
Seeing Lakshmana, adorned with the newly-born Chakra-ratna, the Vidya-dhara kings rejoiced and exclaimed in praise. || 1 ||
They said, "As the Lord Ananta-virya had prophesied, the eighth Krishna-tayuja, the one who is Narayana, has been born. He is the one with the Chakra in his hand, radiating great brilliance. His form is most excellent, he is glorious, and his strength is beyond description. || 2-3 ||
And this is Bala-deva, the eighth, whose chariot is drawn by lions with erect manes, shining like the sun. || 4 ||
He is the one who imprisoned the great Daitya Maya in battle, and in whose hand the gem-like plough shines brightly. || 5 ||
These two, Rama and Narayana, are both Purushottama, born through the power of punya, and bound by the greatest love. || 6 ||
Seeing the Sudarshana Chakra in Lakshmana's hand, the king of the Rakshasas, Ravana, was filled with anxiety. || 7 ||
He thought, "The divine words spoken by the venerable Ananta-virya, the Kevali, seem to have come to pass. This karma, driven by the wind, has arrived." || 8 ||
At the sight of his banner, the Vidya-dhara kings were terrified, and great armies, with their banners and flags, were destroyed. The ocean's water is his garment, and the Himalayas and Vindhyas are his breasts. The three-part earth is his servant, obedient to his command. || 9-10 ||
How is it that I, who am a mere earth-dweller, am destined to be defeated by him? Alas, this is a difficult situation! Look at this wonder! || 11 ||
Shame on this royal fortune, who behaves like a harlot, abandoning those who are long-cherished and virtuous, to consort with the wicked! || 12 ||
These pleasures of the five senses are like the fruit of the Kimpaka tree, bitter in their ripeness, causing endless suffering, and condemned by the virtuous. || 13 ||
