Then heroic Răma highly angered, severed his (Dusana's) mighty bow with shafts sharp as razors, and slew his four horses by ineans of as many shafts. And having slain the steeds, he (Rāma) cut off the head of the charioteer by means of a crescent-shaped weapon, and pierced the (Rakşasa Dūşaņa) in the breast with a brace of shafts.
ततो रामः सुसंक्रुद्धः क्षुरेणास्य महद् धनुः॥ चिच्छेद समरे वीरश्चतुर्भिश्चतुरो हयान् । हत्वा चाश्वाशरैस्तीक्ष्णैरर्धचन्द्रेण सारथेः॥ शिरो जहार तद्रक्षस्त्रिभिर्विव्याध वक्षसि।
