And that one of dreadful prowess slew many a leading monkey by means of darts, Asanis, swords, pattisas and clubs.
स सैन्यमभिवीक्ष्याथ वानरादितमिन्द्रजित्॥ प्रगृहीतायुधः क्रुद्धः परानभिमुखो ययौ। स शरौघानवसृजन्स्वसैन्येनाभिसंवृतः॥ जघान कपिशार्दूलान्सुबहून्दृढविक्रमः। शूलैरशनिभिः खङ्गैः पट्टिशैः शूलमुद्गरैः।। ते चाप्यनुचरांस्तस्य वानरा जघ्नुराहवे॥
