Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa 12th Sarga - 100

 जय श्रीराम!



1
बालार्कप्रतिमेवाप्सु वीचिभिन्ना पतिष्यतः । 
रराज रक्षःकायस्य कण्ठच्छेदपरम्परा ॥१२.१००॥ 

Notes: Kālidāsa says, "Once Rāvaṇa was decapitated, the row of his necks once attached but now separated from his body,  looked, as his body dropped off,  like red discs at the neck, similar to the multitude of reflections in the water of the red rising sun, the reflections being separated by the lapping waves."

जय श्रीराम!
