Sūta continued:: In strong and steady bows, he tied the string firmly and fitted five hundred arrows. With his prowess he rendered Rāvaṇa, the king of Laṅkā, senseless along with his army. He defeated him in the battle and subjugated him. After gaining control over him, he brought him to Māhiṣmatī and tied him there. Pulastya, thereupon, approached Arjuna, propitiated him and pacified him.
