Drive the chariot to him in a manner ,
That is helpful to him, without hesitation.”
As soon as he heard this, Mathali ,
Came down on earth and told,
“I have come here as per the orders,
Of Devendra to help you in your war,
With Ravana , please get in to,
The chariot for the war and ,
I will drive it with the speed of wind,”
Hearing that , after saluting the chariot ,
That king got in to the Chariot,
And seeing Rama in equal position like him,
Ravana with fear looked at the sky.
Rama showered arrows like a torrential rain,
And he also sent Gandarvasthra,
The king of Rakshasas at that time sent ,
The Rakshasatra with great force ,
To fight with that arrow producing cruel snakes,
That son of Raghu clan sent Garudasthra,
Ravana sent arrows and wounded Mathali ,
He also cut off Rama’s flag ,
And again sent arrows on the horses,
And again the war became very fierce ,
And seeing Rama standing tired on the chariot ,
Vibheeshana the son of Kaikasi ,
Stood there with very great sorrow.
And sorrow increased among all the world,
And that king of Rakshasas said ,
I will send you to the city of death, send the trident.
Remembering that it cannot be stopped by arrows,
Rama took a Shakthi from the chariot of Indra,
And sent it towards Ravana,
And Ravana’s trident broke in to ten pieces and fell down,
Then Rama wounded the horses ,
Of the king of Rakshasas, using arrows,
And Ravana’s charioteer became worried ,
And parked the chariot away from the battle.
