And taking up their clubs Arjuna and Råvaņa began to fight with one another emitting cries like the mutterings of clouds, like to two huge balls fighting for a cow, two agitated oceans, two moving mountains, two effulgent Adityas, two burning flames, two proud elephants, two proud lions and like the very Rudra and Kāla.
सागराविव संक्षुब्धौ चलमूलाविवाचलौ। तेजोयुक्ताविवादित्यौ प्रदहन्ताविवानलौ ॥ बलोद्धतौ यथा नागौ वासितार्थे यथा वृषौ। मेघाविव विनर्दन्तौ सिंहाविव बलोत्कटौ॥ रुद्रकालाविव क्रुद्धौ तौ तदा राक्षसार्जुनौ। परस्परं गदां गृह्य ताडयामासतुर्भृशम्॥
