THE RAMAYANA
Then followed a battle between the
mighty-armed Rama and the Rakshasa
Ravana which was fierce, highly wonderful
and capable of making the hair stand on
end.
स गान्धर्वेण गान्धर्व दैवं दैवेन राघवः ।
अस्त्रं राक्षसराजस्य जघान परमास्त्रवित् ॥
Raghava, expert in all astras, repulsed
the Gandharva astra of the Rakshasa king
with another Gandharva astra and the
Daiva astra with another Daiva astra.
अस्त्रे प्रतिहते क्रुद्धो रावणो राक्षसाधिपः ।
अभ्यवर्षत्तदा रामं घोराभिः शरवृष्टिभिः ॥
When his astra was thus repulsed,
Ravana, the lord of the Rakshasas, became
angry and then rained down showers of
terrible arrows on Rama.
राममार्त तदा दृष्टा सिद्धाश्च परमर्षयः ।
व्यथिता वानरेन्द्राश्च बभूवुः सविभीषणाः ॥
Then looking at Rama who was dis-
tressed, the Siddhas, the great sages, and
the foremost monkeys along with
Vibhishana became troubled.
