Then there took place an encounter between those heroes in the field, Laksmana and the Räksasa-discharging vollies of shafts and smiting each other; and those mighty and impetuous ones repeatedly covered each other with networks of arrows; like to the sun and the moon covered by clouds at the expiration of Summer.
तौ प्रयुद्धौ तदा वीरौ मृधे लक्ष्मणराक्षसौ॥ शरौघानभिवर्षन्तौ जघ्नतुस्तौ परस्परम्। अभीक्ष्णमन्तर्दधतुः शरजालैर्महाबलौ॥ चन्द्रादित्याविवोष्णान्ते यथा मेघैस्तरस्विनौ।
