Thereupon, the descendant. of Kakustha, taking from his quiver an excellent arrow arrow adorned with beautiful feathers, golden wings and a beautiful face adjusted it to the Brahma weapon. When Rama inspired that arrow with the Mantras peculiar to the weapon of Brahma. All the celestials and the Gandharvas with Indra at their head were highly delighted. The gods, the Danavas and the Kinnaras, seeing the display of that Brahma weapon began to consider that a little only of their Rakshasa enemy's life was left to him.
ततः सुपत्रं सुमुखं हेमपुल शरोत्तमम्॥ तूणादादाय काकुत्स्थो ब्रह्मास्त्रेण युयोज ह। तं बाणवर्यं रामेण ब्रह्मास्त्रेणानुमन्त्रितम्॥ जहषुर्देवगन्धर्वा दृष्ट्वा शक्रपुरोगमाः। अल्पावशेषमायुश्च ततोऽमन्यन्त रक्षसः॥ ब्रह्मास्त्रोदीरणाच्छनोर्देवदानवकिन्नराः।
