गन्धेनाशुचिना चेति वसुधायां निचख्नतुः ॥१२.३०॥
Notes: The foul-smelling, despicable, monster Virādha did not expect the two brothers dressed as ascetics to challenge him when he grabbed Devī Sītā. As he looked in astonishment, Śrīrāma and Lakṣmaṇa leapt up onto his shoulders in a jiffy, and even as Virādha tried running away, the two brothers used their swords to cut him up. Soon he lay dead. This was a most unpleasant experience. So that this monster's odour and even his memory were removed from this sacred space of hermitages, Śrīrāma and Lakṣmaṇa now elaborately dug up a huge pit and buried him. This was a major project.
Kālidāsa says,
" After pulverising and killing that monster, lest his foul remains pollute the surroundings, the scions of the Kākutstha lineage dug up a huge pit and buried him."
