Seeing the man and the Rākṣasa engaged in battle, with their whole soul, each eager to beat the other, like to elephants with the temporal juice trickling from their temples, desirous of beholding their encounter, Răvaņa's mighty and heroic brother, bearing an excellent bow, stood in front of the arena.
युध्यमानौ ततो दृष्ट्वा प्रसक्तौ नरराक्षसौ। प्रभिन्नाविव मातंगौ परस्परजयैषिणौ॥ तयायुद्धं द्रष्टुकामो वरचापधरो बली। शूरः स रावणभ्राता तस्थौ संग्राममूर्धनि ॥
