cut off!î So saying, the bear and monkey warriors darted towards him in great fury. Våliís
son (A∆gada), the son of the wind-god, Nala, N∂la, Sugr∂va (the king of the monkeys) and
Dwivida, all mighty heroes, hurled trees and rocks on him. Råvaƒa, however, caught
them and threw the same back upon the monkeys. Some of the monkeys tore the
enemyís body with their claws, while others would kick him and run away. Then Nala and
N∂la climbed up his heads and set to tearing his foreheads with their claws. When he saw
blood coming, he felt much troubled at heart and moved up his arms to catch hold of the
monkeys. But they were not to be caught and leapt about from one hand to another like
a pair of bees hovering over a bed of lotuses. At last with a furious bound he clutched
them both; but before he could dash them to the ground, they twisted his arms and ran
away. Again in his fury he took ten bows in his hands and with his arrows struck and
wounded the monkeys. Having rendered Hanumån and other monkey chiefs senseless
he rejoiced to see the approach of night. Seeing all the monkey heroes in a swoon the
valiant Jåmbavån rushed forward with a host of bears carrying rocks and trees, which
they hurled upon him, challenging him again and again. This enraged the mighty Råvaƒa,
who seized a number of the warriors by the foot and began dashing them to the ground.
Jåmbavån (the king of the bears) flew into a rage when he saw the havoc wrought on
his host, and gave Råvaƒa a kick on the breast. (1ó8)

The violent impact of the foot on his breast made Råvaƒa senseless and he fell
from his chariot to the ground, grasping a bear in each of his twenty hands, like bees
reposing by night in the folds of the lotus. Seeing him unconscious, the king of the bears
struck him with his foot once more and rejoined the Lord. Perceiving that it was night,
the charioteer lifted him on to his chariot and then tried to bring him back to his senses.

On recovering from their swoon the bears and monkeys all arrived in the presence
of the Lord, while all the demons stood round Råvaƒa in great consternation. (98)
