Thereupon, to destroy his enemy, that mighty hero, the Ten-necked Ravana, being exercised with ire, took up ten terrible arrows like to the sceptre of Death, and stretching the bow to the full he shot those straight-coursing sharpened shafts at Jatayu, the king of birds.
अथ क्रोधाद् दशग्रीवो जग्राह दश मार्गणान्। मृत्युदण्डनिभान् घोराशत्रोनिधनकासया॥ स तैर्बाणैर्महावीर्यः पूर्णमुक्तैरजिह्मगैः। बिभेद निशितैस्तीक्ष्णैधं घोरैः शिलीमुखैः॥
