Lakshmana (man) and Indrajith (Rakshasa) were fond of battle and intending to win in the fight overcoming each other. Each of them were like elephants but were broken into pieces. Vibheeshana, with eagerness to witness the battle stood in the forefront of the battlefield watching the fight.

Lakshmana (man) and Indrajith (Rakshasa) were fond of battle and intending to win in the fight overcoming each other. Each of them were like elephants but were broken into pieces. Vibheeshana, with eagerness to witness the battle stood in the forefront of the battlefield watching the fight.

ततोविष्फारयामासमहद्धनुरवस्थितः । उत्ससर्ज च तीक्ष्णाग्रान् राक्षसेषुमहाशरान् ।।6.90.3।।

tatoviṣphārayāmāsamahaddhanuravasthitaḥ | utsasarja ca tīkṣṇāgrān rākṣaseṣumahāśarān

Then Vibheeshana stood with stretched bow and loosened sharp pointed arrows on Rakshasas.

तेशराःशिखिसम्पर्शानिपतन्तस्समाहिताः । राक्षसान् दारयामासुर्वज्राणीवमहागिरीन् ।।6.90.4।।

teśarāḥśikhisamparśānipatantassamāhitāḥ | rākṣasān dārayāmāsurvajrāṇīvamahāgirīn

Those burning arrows falling on Rakshasas touched the Rakshasas and split them like thunderbolt splitting mountains.

Followers of Vibheeshana, the foremost of Rakshasa heroes, were shattered by the pikes, swords, and sharpedged spears in the battle.

राक्षसैस्स्सैःपरिवृतस्सतदातुविभीषणः । बभौमध्येप्रहृष्टानामाकलभानामिवद्विपः ।।6.90.6।।

rākṣasaisssaiḥparivṛtassatadātuvibhīṣaṇaḥ | babhaumadhyeprahṛṣṭānāmākalabhānāmivadvipaḥ

Vibheeshana surrounded by Rakshasas shone like an elephant in the midst of young elephants.

ततस्स्संञ्चोदयानोवैहरीन्रक्षोरणप्रियान् । उवाचवचनंकालेकालज्ञोरक्षसांवरः ।।6.90.7।।

tatasssaṃñcodayānovaiharīnrakṣoraṇapriyān | uvācavacanaṃkālekālajñorakṣasāṃvaraḥ

Then Vibheeshana, who is a knower of what is the right time to act spoke to Vanaras to embolden them who were eager to fight with Rakshasas.

एकोऽयंराक्षसेन्द्रस्यपरायणमवस्थितः । एतच्छेषंबलंतस्यकिंतिष्ठतहरीश्वराः ।।6.90.8।।

"Oh Vanara leaders! He (Indrajith) is the only one who is left in the Rakshasa army. Why do you stand idle?"

अस्मिंन्विनिहतेपापेराक्षसेरणमूर्थनि । रावणंवर्जयित्वातुशेषमस्यबलंहतम् ।।6.90.9।।

"If this wicked Rakshasa is struck down, except Ravana all his army is killed."

"O Vanaras! Left over Rakshasas only to be conquered now. Rakshasas, who were proud of their might have been killed on meeting you."

"For the sake of Rama, I will strike my brother's son. Being a father, taking pity, I am helpless as it is not proper for me to take the life of my son."

हन्तुकामस्यमेबाष्पंचक्षुश्चैवनिरुध्यति । तमेवैषमहाबाहुर्लक्ष्मणश्शमयिष्यति ।।6.90.18।। वानराघ्नतसम्भूयभृत्यानस्यसमीपगान् ।

"I wish to kill him, tears are clouding my eyes. Mighty armed Lakshmana will kill him. Vanaras collected together are coming near him and can destroy his attendants."

इतितेनातियशसाराक्षसेनाभिचोदिताः ।।6.90.19।। वानरेन्द्राजहृषिरेलाङ्गूलानि च विव्यधुः ।

ititenātiyaśasārākṣasenābhicoditāḥ vānarendrājahṛṣirelāṅgūlāni ca vivyadhuḥ |

Incited by the encouraging words of Vibheeshana (Rakshasa), Vanara chiefs rejoiced and went shaking their tails.

ततस्तुकपिशार्दूलाःश्रवेन्तःश्चपुनःपुनः ।।6.90.20।। मुमुचुर्विविधान्नादान्मेघान् दृष्टवेवबर्हिणः ।

tatastukapiśārdūlāḥśraventaḥścapunaḥpunaḥ mumucurvividhānnādānmeghān dṛṣṭavevabarhiṇaḥ |

Then the tigers among monkeys again and again roaring in seeing the clouds made several kinds of sounds like peacocks.

जाम्बवानपितैःसर्वैःसयूथ्यैरभिसम्वृतः ।।6.90.21।। तेऽश्मभिस्ताडयामासुर्नखैर्धन्स्सैश्चराक्षसान् ।

All the troops surrounded by Jambavan too, pierced the Rakshasas with their nails and teeth.

The Rakshasas who were endowed with mighty strength giving up fear, armed with different kinds of weapons surrounded Jambavan, the Lord of Bears.

शरैःपरशुभिस्तीक्ष्णैःपट्टिशैर्यष्टितोमरैः ।।6.90.23।। जाम्बवन्तंमृधेजघ्नुर्निघ्नन्तंराक्षसींचमूम् ।

The Rakshasas then assailed Jambvan who was destroying the Rakshasa army with axes, pointed arrows, iron bars and sharpedged spears.

स सम्प्रहारस्तुमुलःसञ्जज्ञेकपिरक्षसाम् ।।6.90.24।। देवासुराणांक्रुद्धानांयथाभीमोमहास्वनः ।

sa samprahārastumulaḥsañjajñekapirakṣasām devāsurāṇāṃkruddhānāṃyathābhīmomahāsvanaḥ |

Fearful and vehement battle took place between enraged Vanaras and Rakshasas making loud clamours like the battle (in the past) between Devas and asuras.

Great selfHanuman too became furious and dismounting Lakshmana from his back uprooted a sala tree from a mountain and went on exterminating thousands of Rakshasas.

Great selfHanuman too became furious and dismounting Lakshmana from his back uprooted a sala tree from a mountain and went on exterminating thousands of Rakshasas.

स दत्त्वातुमुलंयुद्धंपितृव्यस्येन्द्रजत् बली । लक्ष्मणंपरवीरघ्नःपुनरेवाभ्यधावत ।।6.90.27।।

sa dattvātumulaṃyuddhaṃpitṛvyasyendrajat balī | lakṣmaṇaṃparavīraghnaḥpunarevābhyadhāvata

Mighty Indrajith who can give tough fight to enemies gave a violent fight to his father's brother and again rushed towards Lakshmana.

तौप्रयुद्दौतदावीरौमृधेलक्ष्मणराक्षसौ । शरौघानभिवर्षन्तौजघ्नतुस्तौपरस्परम् ।।6.90.28।।

tauprayuddautadāvīraumṛdhelakṣmaṇarākṣasau | śaraughānabhivarṣantaujaghnatustauparasparam

In that battle the two heroes, Lakshmana and Indrajith rained streams of arrows on each other and engaged themselves in the battle.

अभीक्षणमन्तर्धदतुश्शरजालैर्महाबलौ । चन्द्रादित्याविवोष्णान्तेयथामेघैस्तरस्विनौ ।।6.90.29।।

abhīkṣaṇamantardhadatuśśarajālairmahābalau | candrādityāvivoṣṇānteyathāmeghaistarasvinau

Both the mighty and energetic heroes, covered each other with arrows just as after summer the moon and Sun are veiled frequently by clouds.

न ह्यादानं न सन्धानंधनुषोवापरिग्रहः । न विप्रमोक्षोबाणानां न विकर्षो न विग्रहः ।।6.90.30।। न मुष्टिप्रतिसन्धानं न लक्ष्यप्रतिपादनम् । अदृश्यततयोस्तत्रयुध्यतोःपाणिलाघवात् ।।6.90.31।।

While both were fighting, due to the quickness of their hand movement, it could not be perceived whether they were taking out arrows from the quiver, drawing the string, or seizing arrows, or aiming to shoot or not. Whether they were drawing or stretching the bow or not or fixing with their fist or hitting the target or not, was not clear.

While both were fighting, due to the quickness of their hand movement, it could not be perceived whether they were taking out arrows from the quiver, drawing the string, or seizing arrows, or aiming to shoot or not. Whether they were drawing or stretching the bow or not or fixing with their fist or hitting the target or not, was not clear.

cāpavegaprayukssaiścabāṇajālaiḥsamantataḥ | antarike'bhisampanne na rūpāṇicakāśire

As they were discharging arrows from the bow swiftly, the arrows formed a net covering all over the sky and no object could be visible.

लक्ष्मणोरावणिंप्राप्यरावणिश्चापिलक्ष्मणम् । अव्यवस्थाभवत्युग्राताभ्यामन्योन्यविग्रहे ।।6.90.33।।

lakṣmaṇorāvaṇiṃprāpyarāvaṇiścāpilakṣmaṇam | avyavasthābhavatyugrātābhyāmanyonyavigrahe

As Lakshmana was meeting Indrajith and Indrajith was reaching out to Lakshmana, confusion prevailed about who was hitting whom?

ताभामुभाभ्यांतरसाप्रसृष्टैर्विशिखैःशितैः । निरन्तरमिवाकाशंबभूवतमसावृतम् ।।6.90.34।।

tābhāmubhābhyāṃtarasāprasṛṣṭairviśikhaiḥśitaiḥ | nirantaramivākāśaṃbabhūvatamasāvṛtam

while both of them one over the other swiftly extended and loosened the whetted arrows continuously, the sky, shrouded with arrows, became dark.

तैःपतभदिश्चबहुभिस्तयोःशरशतैःशितैः । दिशश्चप्रदिशश्चैवबभूवुःशरसङ्कुलाः ।।6.90.35।।

taiḥpatabhadiścabahubhistayoḥśaraśataiḥśitaiḥ | diśaścapradiśaścaivababhūvuḥśarasaṅkulāḥ

Many hundreds of pointed arrows falling in all directions and intermediate points spread all over.

tamasāpihitaṃsarvamāsītpratibhayaṃmahat | astaṃgatesahasrāṃśesamvṛtetamasā ca vai rudhiraughāmahānadyaḥprāvartantasahasraśaḥ |

As the sun sank down, darkness enveloped, everything was dark and dreadful in appearance. Streams of blood of thousands flowed.

क्रव्यादादारुणावाग्भिश्चिक्षिपुर्भीमनिःस्वनान् ।।6.90.37।। न तदानींवनौवायुर्न च जज्वालपावकः ।

kravyādādāruṇāvāgbhiścikṣipurbhīmaniḥsvanān na tadānīṃvanauvāyurna ca jajvālapāvakaḥ |

Carnivorous animals cried frightfully with their tongues. Wind did not blow, the fire did not glow.

स्व्स्त्वस्तुलोकेभ्यइतिजजल्पुस्तेमहर्षयः ।।6.90.38।। सम्पेतुश्चात्रसन्तप्तागन्धर्वाःसहचारणैः ।

Sages murmured saying" may this world be well." Gandharvas, Charanas (who came to see the battle) went distressed.

Then glorious Raghava with pointed bhalla furnished with beautiful plumes, splendid, deadly as Indra's thunderbolt, released and as it resounded the hit of the sword and severed the head from the body of the charioteer, who was driving in circles.

When the charioteer got killed, the brilliant son of Mandodari, played the role of charioteer and wielded the bow again.

While Indrajith was engaged with the horses in one hand and battling, his capacity was a wonder to the onlookers. Lakshmana again attacked him loosening pointed arrows at him while Indrajith was busy with his bow.

While Indrajith was moving undaunted being hurt, Lakshmana who acts with extreme alacrity and fearless easily pierced Indrajith with arrows.

Seeing the charioteer killed, Ravana's son was despondent and lost enthusiasm to fight (said people).

The Vanara leaders were joyful upon seeing the worried face of the Rakshasa and acclaimed Lakshmana.

The horses were mutilated, broken, and sunk into the earth and killed. Again, bounding the great chariot, they got up quickly and stood nearby Lakshmana.
