RASAAVAL STANZA

When Ravana heard the news about the destruction of his warriors he held his forehead in extreme anguish.

(In order to forget his agony), he in his pride drank wine.444.

There was sound of the pulling of bows and the arrows were being showered,

The persistent warriors like Mahodar held their swords and stood firmly with forbearance.445.

MOHINI STANZA

The shields sounded like drums and there was being heard the agitated atmosphere of the war

The sound of fifes filled a all the four directions and small cymbals of different colors rang.446.

The kettledrums sounded like the resonance of the group of peacocks on seeing the clouds in the month of Sawan

The armoured horse jumped and the warriors were absorbed in war.447.

The elephants having trunks and tusks got intoxicated and the warriors of frightful whiskers danced

There was movement of all the forces and the gobs saw them from the sky.448.

The blows of very stern warriors are being endured the fighters are falling in the battlefield and are flowing in the stream of blood

The wounded warriors are wandering circularly and are falling on the earth with downward faces.449.

In great fury they are killing others and are going on killing the persistent warriors are tightening their weapons smilingly

And being enraged are churning the fighters and are raising the ire of others.450.
