Then he hit at (Indrajit's) charioteer with another yellow and sharpened javelin splendid, furnished with feathers; and resembling the thunder-bolt of the great Indra. And through his fleet handedness the graceful son of Raghu with the thunder-bolt of his shaft, resonant with the sound of his palm, separated the (charioteer's head) from his trunk.
ततोऽपरेण भल्लेन पीतेन निशितेन च। संपूर्णायतमुक्तेन सुपत्रेण सुवर्चसा ॥ महेन्द्राशनिकल्पेन सूतस्य विचरिष्यतः। स तेन बाणाशनिना तलशब्दानुनादिना ॥ लघवाद्राघवः श्रीमाशिरः कायादपाहरत्।
