And fired with furious wrath, that powerful one took the dart in the encounter, surrounded in that contest by many heroic Rākşasas. And uplifting (the dart), the huge-bodied Ravana, with his eyes reddened in passion, emitted mighty roars. And the shouts ofd the Rākşasa sovereign made the earth and the sky and the cardinal quarters and all sides tremble.
तच्छूलं परमद्धो जग्राह युधि वीर्यवान्। अनीकैः समरे शूरै राक्षसैः परिवारितः॥ समुद्यम्य महाकायो ननाद युधि भैरवम्। संरक्तनयनो रोषात्स्वसैन्यमभिहर्षयन्॥ पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च दिशश्च प्रदिशस्तथा। प्राकम्पयत्तदा शब्दो राक्षसेन्द्रस्य दारुणः॥
