Seeing the Rākşasas, distressed with fright and harassed by the monkeys, the powerful Vajradarstra, with his eyes crimsoned with choler, entered the arena, bow in hand, frightening the monkey-forces, and he began to pierce the monkeys with straight-speeding shafts winged with Kanka feathers; and he pierced simultaneously seven, eight, nine, five, monkeys (in the field). and the exceedingly powerful Vajradanștra, transported into a towering passion, began to cleave the hostile ranks.
राक्षसान्भयवित्रस्तान्हन्यमानान्प्लवंगमैः॥ दृष्ट्वा स रोषताम्राक्षो वज्रदंष्ट्रः प्रतापवान्। प्रविवेश धनुष्पाणिस्त्रासयन्हरिवाहिनीम्॥ शरैर्विदारयामास कङ्कपत्रैरजिह्मगैः। बिभेद वानरांस्तत्र सप्ताष्टौ नव पञ्च च॥ विव्याध परमक्रुद्धो वज्रदंष्ट्रः प्रतापवान्। त्रस्ताः सर्वे हरिगणाः शरैः संकृत्तदेहिनः।
