सर्गः ४३
In which Rāvaṇa looses Akampana past evil omens into dust blinded slaughter where Kumuda and Nala storm the vanguard
Rāvaṇa orders Akampana forth with all weapons after Dhūmrākṣa falls — Akampana ignores drooping horses throbbing eye and shrieking beasts — Hosts clash for Rāma and Rāvaṇa raising blinding red dust — Blinded monkeys slay monkeys and demons slay demons in gloom — Blood settles dust over corpse strewn earth — Kumuda Nala Mainda and others ravage demon vanguard with trees
