Having baffled Rāghava's weapon, Rāvana, transported with passion, took up a dreadful Asura weapon; and discharged sharpened shafts having the faces of lions and tigers and the faces of kankas and kokas,' and the faces of vultures and hawks, and the faces of jackals, and the faces of wolves, with gaping mouths, and terrific of aspect:; five-mouthed and red-hued. And that highly powerful one, enraged, sighing like a snake, by his power of illusion shot at Rāma other keen arrows having the faces of mules and the faces of bears, and the faces of dogs and cocks, and the faces of Makaras? And venomous serpents these as well as others. 1. Koka-a ruddy goose. It may also mean a lizard, a chameleon, a wolf. 2. A marine monster, generally confounded with the alligator and the shark: but really a fabulous animal.
निहत्य राघवस्यास्त्रं रावणः क्रोधमूर्छितः। आसुरं सुमहाघोरमन्यदत्रं चकार सः॥ सिंहव्याघ्रमुखांश्चापि कङ्ककोकमुखानपि। गृध्रश्येनमुखांश्चापि शृगालवदनांस्तथा॥ ईहामृगमुखांश्चापि व्यादितास्यान्भयावहान्। पञ्चास्याल्लेलिहानांश्च ससर्ज निशिताशरान्।॥ शरान्खरमुखांश्चान्यान्वराहमुखसंश्रितान्। श्वानकुक्कुटवक्रांश्च मकराशीविषाननान्॥ एतांश्चान्यांश्च मायाभिः ससर्ज निशिताञ्छरान्। रामं प्रति महातेजाः क्रुद्धः सर्प इव श्वसन्॥
