After this, the celestials, assembled with the Cāraņas, struck with wonder joyfully sounded kettledrums and showered blossoms on Rāma. In over half a moment Rāma by means of sharpened shafts have slain in mighty encounter fourteen thousand shafts have slain in mighty encounter fourteen thousand Rākṣasas, wearing shapes at will, headed by Khara and Dūşaņa.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे देवाश्चारणैः सह संगताः। दुन्दुभीश्चाभिनिघ्नन्तः पुष्पवर्षं समन्ततः॥ रामस्योपरि संहृष्टा ववर्षुर्विस्मितास्तदा। अधिकमुहूर्तेन रामेण निशितैः शरैः॥ चतुर्दश सहस्राणि रक्षसां कामरूपिणाम्। खरदूषणमुख्यानां निहतानि महामृधे॥
