Råvaƒa heartily laughed when he heard ›r∂ Råmaís words. ìAh! You teach me
wisdom! You did not shrink from waging war against me then; now it seems you hold
your life very dear.î (90)

Having uttered these taunting words Råvaƒa furiously began to discharge arrows
like so many thunderbolts. Shafts of various designs flew and filled all the quarters, nay,
every corner of the earth and heavens. The Hero of Raghuís line let fly a fiery dart, and
in a moment the demonís bolts were all consumed. Råvaƒa ground his teeth out of
frustration and hurled a fierce lance; but the Lord sent it back alongwith His arrow. The
demon then cast a cloud of discs and tridents; but the Lord frustrated them by tearing
them asunder without any exertion. Råvaƒaís arrows proved as futile as the schemes
of the wicked invariably are. Then with a hundred arrows he struck ›r∂ Råmaís charioteer
(Måtali), who fell to the ground crying ìVictory to ›r∂ Råma!î ›r∂ Råma took compassion
and lifted up the driver; He was now stirred up with a terrible fury. (1ó4)

When the Lord of the Raghus encountered the enemy on the battlefield, full of
rage, the arrows in His quiver vied with one another in their endeavour to shoot forth. The
