In which Lakṣmaṇa strips Indrajit armor while both bleed tirelessly until Vibhīṣaṇa steps to aid him
Lakṣmaṇa looses hissing shaft as bowstring pales Indrajit — Vibhīṣaṇa sees dejection and urges haste as foe broken — Lakṣmaṇa looses flame shafts stunning foe senseless briefly — Recovered Indrajit recalls first battle binding brothers senseless — Indrajit pierces Lakṣmaṇa Hanumān and Vibhīṣaṇa with hundreds — Laughing Lakṣmaṇa scorns light shafts and showers arrow rain — Lakṣmaṇa shatters gold armor leaving foe wounded like peaked mountain — Both panting bloodied display weapons binding sky with arrows — Arrow mound rises like kuśa between fires as bodies shine flowered — Neither tires in long clash as Vibhīṣaṇa advances to relieve Lakṣmaṇa
