In which Lakṣmaṇa answers Yama Kubēra and Raudra shafts with Varuṇa and severs Indrajit with truth sworn Indra dart
Horseless Indrajit duels Lakṣmaṇa on foot like bull elephants — Indrajit rains shafts and pierces Lakṣmaṇa forehead as Lakṣmaṇa parries — Lakṣmaṇa shines three peaked as both wound all limbs — Vibhīṣaṇa hurls five vajra shafts into foe bleeding chest — Indrajit takes Yama shaft as Lakṣmaṇa takes Kubēra dreamed shaft — Shafts strike mouth to mouth shattering hundredfold to earth — Lakṣmaṇa takes Varuṇa as Indrajit hurls Raudra while gods guard Lakṣmaṇa — Lakṣmaṇa fits Indra shaft that once felled dānavas — Lakṣmaṇa swears by Rāma truth and beheads helmeted Indrajit — Rākṣasa host drops weapons flees to Laṅkā sea mountain as monkeys gods Brahmāṇas rejoice
