Khara and Dhooshana could not control their rage, ordered their men to capture Rama. Soon all those dreadful demons rushed to Rama with their spears, dagger, sword, club, spears, bow and arrows, etc. The boisterous sound of the vibration of Rama’s bow kindled terror among the warriors of Khara and Dhooshana, left them perplexed. They have understood that they are confronting a powerful human on the Earth, they have become more cautious, and started hurling weapons of various kinds on Rama. The Lord of Raghu tore those weapons into pieces and stretched his powerful bow aiming at the enemies, thus showered countless arrows on them, those were darted towards the enemies with the hissing sound of the serpent. Rama got infuriated in the battle, showered powerful arrows on the demons which made them flee from the battlefield. The three brothers Khara, Dhooshana, and Thrishiras in a rage announced: “Whoever flees for life from the battlefield would face the death punishment.” At that moment, the warriors understood their foolishness to run for life from Rama, hence they came forefront with a decision to die in the hands of Rama.  Thus several got killed on the battlefield, Rama aimed Narachapa that made the battlefield crammed with several headless bodies, limbs, and body parts, the lifeless bodies were scattered all over the ground, some of the bodies stood up again even after being badly wounded, soon several jackals, and eagles appeared were fought against each other for their own share of meat.
