Then ensued an exceedingly fierce and
wondrous battle between them.
YUDDHAKANDA
तदैन्द्रमस्त्रं सौमित्रिः संयुगेष्वपराजितम् ।
सन्धाय धनुषि श्रेष्ठे विकर्षन्निदमब्रवीत् ॥
Then, fixing the Indra arrow which
never fails in battle to his excellent bow
and drawing it out, Lakshmana said :
धर्मात्मा सत्यसन्धश्च रामौ दाशरथिर्यदि ।
पौरुषे चा प्रतिद्वन्द्वः शरैनं जहि रावणिम् ॥
" If Rama the son of Dasaratha is
devoted to Dharma and rooted in truth
and unequalled in valour, O arrow, kill
this son of Ravana."
इत्युक्तवा बाणमाकर्ण विकृष्य तमजिह्यगम् ।
लक्ष्मणः समरे वीरः ससर्जेन्द्रजितं प्रति ॥
Saying this and drawing the straight-
speeding arrow right up to his ear, the
heroic Lakshmana let it fly in the battle-
field against Indrajit.
स शिरः सशिरस्त्राणं श्रीमज्ज्वलित कुण्डलम् ।
प्रमथ्येन्द्रजितः : कायात् पातयामास भूतले ॥
