Commentary

• ²aṇimādi līlalacē – While there are many instances of super-human powers demonstrated by Sri Rama, the episode of breaking the bow of Siva in the court of King Janaka, vanquishing of Parasurama, killing of Khara and other fourteen thousand demons in a matter an hour and a half single handedly, piercing seven Sala trees with a single arrow, lifting the flinging the carcass of Dundhubi to a great distance are all worth mentioning.
