In which Mātali prompts Rāma to loose Brahmā's world-fire arrow through Rāvaṇa's heart amid drums and flower rain
Mātali urges Rāma to loose Brahmā's arrow — Rāma consecrates the unfailing world-fire shaft — Rāma hurls the arrow into Rāvaṇa's heart — The arrow returns to Rāma's quiver — Rāvaṇa falls lifeless like Vr̥tra — Leaderless rākṣasas flee toward Laṅkā — Monkeys chase them shouting victory — Gods sound drums and rain flowers — Sugrīva and friends honor victorious Rāma
