English Commentary

O Ravana I think it is not good on your part to confront the prince of Kosala in a war. Listen to my words and consider what is good for you. इत्यार्षे श्री मद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अरण्यकाण्डे सप्तत्रिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the thirtyseventh sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
