दामव्यालकटाकारैश्चेतः परिणतं यथा ।
भीमभासदृढन्यायो राघवास्त्वचलस्तव ॥ ३४ ॥

dāmavyālakaṭākāraiścetaḥ pariṇataṃ yathā |
bhīmabhāsadṛḍhanyāyo rāghavāstvacalastava || 34 ||

The demons Dama, Vyala and Kata, were destroyed by reliance on their minds (i.e. by thinking their bodies as their souls); but Bhima, Bhasa and Dridha were saved by their belief in the Supreme soul, as pervading all things. Therefore, O Rama! reject the examples of the former, imitate that of the latter.
