And possessed by great anger they began to assail one another with shafts, Māndhātā Rāvana and he again the king. They, being assailed by one another, were both wounded. And setting the Raudra shaft upori his bow Rāvana discharged it and Māndhatā baffled it by means of his fiery shafts. The Ten-necked demon took up the Gāndharva weapon and the king Māndhätă the Brahma weapon striking terror to all. Rävaņa then took up the celestial Pāśuapa weapon, dreadful and increasing the fright of the three worlds, obtained by him from Rudra by virtue of his rigid penances.
कार्मुकेऽस्त्रं समाधाय रौद्रमस्त्रममुञ्चत। आग्नेयेन तु मांधाता तदस्त्रं पर्यवारयत्॥ गान्धर्वेण दशग्रीवो वारुणेन च राजराट्। गृहीत्वा स तु ब्रह्मास्त्रं सर्वभूतभयावहम्॥ वेदयामास मांधाता दिव्यं पाशुपतं महत्। तदस्त्रं घोररूपं तु त्रैलोक्यभयवर्धनम्॥
