deities rejoiced and showered flowers and cheered “Victory to Lord Sri
Ramachandra who is the ocean of mercy, the storehouse of virtues, and valor!
Victory to Lord of Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra! Victory to Rama and Lakshman!”
In the meantime, the battlefield crammed with dreadful demons of dark-complexioned resembled the clouds of mass destruction, the Vanaras and bears darted
to the crowd of enemies, several thousands of vicious weapons gleaming from all
the directions on the battlefield, the shrill cries of elephants, horses,
rattling sounds of weapons, crash sounds of chariots resembled deafening thunder.

shower of arrows resembled raindrops on it, the mountains and huge rocks hurled
between the demons and Vanaras crashed in the air resembled stroke of
lightning, the Lord of Raghu released showers of arrows that struck the demons,
caused them to swirl around the battlefield and fell on the ground. Soon the battlefield was crammed with lifeless bodies
of demons, the pool of blood streaming all over the war field, the lifeless bodies
of demons on the ground piled up resembled huge mountains, the bloodshed
created a large pool gave out ghastly appearance.
