"Where are the two brother princes of Kosala, those archers celebrated throughout the spheres? Where are Nala, Nila, Dvivida and Sugriva as well as Angada and Hanuman, the most powerful of all? Where is Vibhisana the traitor to his own brother? I will kill them all today and him (Vibhisana) too at all events." So saying, he fitted sharp arrows to his bow and in excess of fury drew the string up to his ear. Presently he started discharging a volley of arrows that flew like so many winged serpents. Everywhere monkeys were seen falling to the ground, at that time there was none who would dare to face him. Bears and monkeys fled in every direction; none had any desire left to continue the fight. Not a single monkey or bear was to be seen on the field, whom he had left with anything but life.

With bloodshot eyes, a broad chest and long arms, his white form shone like the snow-clad Himalaya with a slight admixture of red. At the other end the ten-headed monster sent out champions, who rushed forth equipped with missiles and other weapons of every description. With mountains, claws and trees for weapons, the monkeys hastened to meet the demons, shouting "Victory to Rama." They all closed in the fray, match with match, both the sides equally agog to win. The monkeys, who had now the upper hand, battered the demons with their fists and feet and bit them with their teeth. They struck them down and browbeat them. "Kill, kill, seize, seize, seize, slay, break his head, seize his arm and tear it up!"-such were the cries that filled the air through all the nine divisions of the globe. Headless bodies sprinted furiously hither and thither. Hosts of celestials witnessed the spectacle from heaven, now with joy and now in dismay.

When the son of the wind-god saw his army in distress, he flew into a rage and rushed forth as if he were death personified. He forthwith tore up a huge rock and hurled it at Meghanada with great fury. When he saw the rock coming towards him, he mounted up into the air, leaving his car, charioteer and horses to perish. Again and again did Hanuman challenge him to a duel, but the demon dared not come nearer; for he knew the monkey's real strength. Meghanada now approached Sri Rama and hurled every kind of abuse at him. He tried weapons and missiles of every description against Him; but the Lord with the utmost ease cut them asunder before they could reach Him. The fool was put out of countenance when he saw the Lord's might, and began to practise all sorts of illusive devices, as if catching hold of a poor little snakeling one were to frighten Garuda and sport with him.

"Giving up all quarrel with Sri Rama, restore Videha's Daughter to Him and worship the All-merciful, who has a most loving disposition." His words stung Ravana like shafts. "Away, wretch, with your accursed face. If it were not for your age, I would have finished you; now please do not appear before my eyes again." Malyavan, however, thought within himself that the All-merciful would soon kill him; he, therefore, rose and departed abusing Ravana as he went. Meghanada thereupon exclaimed in a fury : "See what wonders I work the very next morning. I am going to accomplish much; why should I, therefore, belittle its worth by speaking of it just now?" Confidence returned to Ravana when he heard his son's words; and he fondly took him into his lap. The day broke even while they deliberated, and the monkeys again assailed the four gates. In their fury they laid siege to the most powerful citadel. This gave rise to an uproarious alarm in the city. The demons darted forward with their weapons of every description and hurled down mountain-peaks from the ramparts."

The wounded warriors shone like so many Kimsuka* trees in flower. The two champions, Laksmana and Meghanada, grappled with each other in mounting fury. Neither could get the better of the other. The demon, however, resorted to wily tricks and unfair means. Laksmana, who was no other than Ananta (the serpent-god Sesa, whose wrath brings about the dissolution of the universe), then waxed furious and in a trice smashed the chariot and tore its driver to pieces. Sesa (Laksmana) smote him in so many ways that the demon (Meghanada) was all but dead. The son of Ravana thought within himself that he was in straits and the enemy would surely take his life. He threw a javelin which was notorious for killing warriors and was all brilliance; and lo! it struck Laksmana in the breast. The blow was so smart that the prince swooned and Meghanada now went near him shedding all fear.

The demons hurled mountain-peaks in myriads and fired bomb-shells of every description, which came roaring like a crash of thunder; while the contending warriors roared like the clouds on the day of universal destruction. Fierce monkey warriors combated with their adversaries and had their bodies severely wounded and badly battered; yet they languished not. Seizing rocks, they hurled them against the fort; and the demons fell to them wherever they stood.

Mounting up into the air he rained down a shower of firebrands, and spouts of water issued forth from the earth. Fiends and fiendesses of diverse form danced with cries of "Maim and kill?" Now he would rain down showers of faeces, pus, blood, hair and bones; and now he would hurl a volley of stones. By discharging dust all round he made it so dark that if you held out your own hand you would not see it. The monkeys lost their nerve when they saw these supernatural phenomena. "At this rate we are all doomed" they thought. Sri Rama smiled when he saw this fun; at the same time He understood that the monkeys were all alarmed. With a single arrow He broke the illusive web, even as the sun removes the thick veil of darkness. He cast a gracious look on the monkeys and bears, and lo! they grew too strong to be restrained from fighting.

Listen, Parvati : (continues Lord Sankara,) none can conquer him in battle, the fire of whose wrath speedily consumes all the fourteen spheres (at the time of universal dissolution), and whom gods and human beings, nay, all animate and inanimate beings adore. He alone can understand this mystery, on whom descends Sri Rama's grace. Now that it was evening, both the armies retired and the commanders of the different units began taking count of their troops. The All-merciful and invincible Lord of the universe, the all-pervading supreme Spirit, asked : "Where is Laksmana?" Meanwhile Hanuman brought him; seeing His younger brother (in a swoon) the Lord felt sore distressed. Jambavan said, "Susena, the physician, lives in Lanka; someone should be sent to fetch him here." Assuming a minute (indiscernible) form Hanuman went and immediately brought him, house and all.
