the
powerful Sun himself. And resembling a mass of crags, Angada--foremost
of monkeys--adorned with _Angadas_, appeared beautiful like a mountain
with metals on it. And weaponless himself, and furnished only with nails
and teeth, Vali's son attacking Narantaka, said,--"Stay! What shalt thou
do with these interior monkeys? This _praca_, having the feel of the
thunder-bolt, do thou hurl at my heart itself". Hearing Angada's words,
Narantaka was fired with wrath. And knawing his upper lip with his teeth
and sighing like a serpent, Narantaka, wrought with wrath, approached
Vali's son. And then whirling his _praca_, he suddenly discharged that
flaming (weapon) against Angada. And then it was snapped on the breast
of Vali's son, resembling the thunder-bolt, and dropped to the earth.
And seeing the _praca_ broken in pieces, like a powerful snake severed
by Suparna, Vali's son, raising his hand, dealt a slap at the head of
his (Narantaka's) steed. Thereat, with his legs sinking down and his
eye-balls coming off and his tongue hanging down, and wearing the look
of a mountain,--on being smit with that slap, Narantaka's steed fell
down to the ground, with its head lying at random. And Narantaka seeing
his charger slain and fallen, was seized with a furious wrath, and
raising his clenched fist, that one endowed with exceeding great energy
in that conflict hit Vali's son on the head. Thereat Angada having his
head wounded by that blow, warm blood gushed out plentifully. And
momentarily burning and momentarily swooning, he, regaining his senses,
was amazed. Then Vali's son, the high-souled Angada clenching his fist
into a blow resembling Death itself in energy, and like unto a
mountain-peak, let it descend on the chest of Narantaka. Thereat, with
his breast riven and broken down, vomitting flames and having his body
bathed in blood, Narantaka dropped down to the earth, like a hill
shattered by the impetus of the thunder-bolt. And on Narantaka of
exceeding prowess having been slain by Vali's son in battle, there arose
a tremendous uproar in the firmament from the wood-rangers and the
foremost of celestials. And Angada having performed that difficult deed
of prowess, capable of delighting the mind of Rama, was seized with
amazement;[245] and that one of terrific feats in fight was again
inspired with delight in the encounter.
And seeing Narantaka slain, the foremost of Nairitas--including the
three-headed Devantaka and Pulastya's descendant, Mahodara,--began to
cry (in chorus). And then the vehement Mahodara, mounted (on horseback),
rushed against Vali's son endued with energy. And aggrieved in
consequence of the calamity that had befallen his brother, the strong
Devantaka grasping a dreadful bludgeon, darted against Angada. And
ascending a car resembling the Sun yoked with superb steeds, the heroic
Triciras rushed against Vali's son. Then charged by those three powerful
Rakshasas--crushers of the hauteur of immortals, Angada uprooted a tree
furnished with gigantic branches. And as Sakra hurleth the mighty
flaming thunderbolt, that hero--Angada--at once hurled against Devantaka
that mighty tree having giant branches. And Triciras cut off that tree
in pieces by means of shafts resembling serpents. And seeing the tree
severed, Angada darted up; and[246] then that foremost of monkeys
showered crags and trees. And all those Triciras wrought with wrath cut
off by means of whetted arrows; and Mahodara snapped those trees with
the end of his bludgeon. And then Triciras rushed against that
hero--Vali's son--with shafts; and Mahodara chased him,[247] mounted on
an elephant; and struck Angada in the chest with _tomaras_ resembling
the thunder-bolt. And Devantaka, enraged advancing, hit Angada with his
bludgeon, and then, endowed with velocity, he swiftly turned away. And
attacked simultaneonly by those three powerful Nairitas, the exceedingly
energetic son of Vali possessed of prowess, did not feel any pain. And
that impetuous one incapable of being conquered, summoning his utmost
vehemence, rushing on, pealt a slap at his[248] mighty elephant. And
thereat the elephant fell down in his very sight and expired. And then
pulling out his tusks, the highly powerful son of Vali, darting against
Devantaka, dealt him a blow therewith in that encounter. And thereupon
that strong one overwhelmed like a tree buffetted by the wind, began to
discharge blood profusely, looking like the hue of lac. And then
cheering him, the exceedingly energetic and powerful Narantaka,
violently whirling his bludgeon with might and main, hit Angada with it.
And albeit struck with the bludgeon, the son of the lord of monkeys,
going down on his knees, again darted up. And as he sprang up, Triciras
hit at the temples of the son of the king of monkeys with three
straight-speeding terrific shafts. And seeing Angada assailed by the
three redoubtable Rakshasas, Hanuman and Nila proceeded (to his rescue).
Then Nila hurled a mountain-top at Triciras; and thereat that son of
Ravana severed it with sharpened arrows. And that mountain-top on being
riven, dropped down, aflame and shooting out sparks of fire. And seeing
him[249] yawning in joy, the stalwart Devantaka in that encounter
pursued the Wind-god's son with his bludgeon. And as he rushed on, that
foremost of monkeys--Hanuman--dealt on the crown of his head, a blow
resembling the thunder-bolt itself. And the mighty and heroic son of the
Wind-god hit (at his antagonist); and that redoubted monkey also with
his roars made the Rakshasas tremble (in fear). And thereat with his
head crushed and cleft, and his teeth and eyes falling out, and his
tongue hanging down, that son unto the sovereign of the Rakshasas
suddenly dropped to the earth, deprived of life. On that fierce and
mighty Rakshasa warrior--that foe of the immortals--having fallen in
fight, the Three-headed one, waxing wondrous enraged began to shower
terrific sharpened shafts on Nila's chest. And Mahodara, getting
enraged, again swiftly mounted an elephant like the ray-furnished (Sun)
mounting Mandara. Then even as a mass of roaring clouds poureth down
showers enwheeled with levin on a mountain, he showered arrows right on
Nila's breast. Thereat showered with those shafts, that leader of
monkeys Nila with his person pierced, had his body riven and was
stupified by that exceedingly powerful one. Then that (monkey) possessed
of tremendous vehemence, having regained his senses, uprooting a crag
with a whole tract of trees, struck it at Mahodara's head. And struck by
that mighty enemy, Mahodara, broken down by the impetus of that rock,
deprived of his senses, dropped down dead on the ground, like a cliff
smit with the thunder-bolt.
Seeing his uncle slain, Triciras took up his bow; and inflamed with fury
pierced Hanuman with whetted arrows. And thereat the Wind-god's son,
enraged, hurled a mountain-peak (at his adversary). And Triciras by
means of keen arrows severed the same in shivers. And seeing the
mountain-peak baffled, the monkey in the encounter began to shower trees
on Ravana's son. And Triciras endowed with prowess by means of sharpened
shafts cut off that descending arrowy shower in the sky and shouted (in
delight). Then Hanuman flying into a fury, bounding to the welkin, with
his nails ripped the steed of Triciras, even as a lion cleaveth a
powerful elephant. Then taking a dart even as the Destroyer employeth
the Fatal Night, Ravana's son--Triciras--discharged it at the offspring
of the Wind-god. Thereat catching the dart of resistless course as it
descended from the sky, the powerful monkey snapped it and then shouted.
And seeing that dreadful dart broken by Hanuman, the monkeys,
transported with delight, sent up shouts, even as clouds rumble. Than
upraising his sword, that foremost of Rakshasas--Triciras--brought it
down on the breast of the monkey-chief. Overpowered with the sword-blow,
Hanuman--son unto the Wind-god,--endowed with energy, dealt the
Three-headed one a slap on the head. And smitten with that slap, the
highly powerful Triciras, with his hands and attire dropping off, fell
down to the earth, deprived of consciousness. Then that mighty monkey
resembling a hill broke his sword as he fell, and roared, terrifying all
the Rakshasas. But not brooking that uproar, that night-ranger sprang
up; and springing up, he dealt a blow at Hanuman. And at that blow, the
redoubtable monkey was wrought up with wrath; and inflamed with rage, he
smote that foremost of Rakshasas about his diadem. And then with a sharp
sword the Wind-god's son cut off his heads decked with diadems and
furnished with ear-rings; even as Sakra had severed the heads of
Tashtri's son.[250] Thereat even as burning stars, loosened, drop down
from the course of Indra, the large organs of sense, and eyes flaming
like glowing fire, and heads of that foe of Indra, dropped down to the
ground. On Triciras--enemy of the immortals--having been slain by
Hanuman endowed with the prowess itself of Sakra, the monkeys shouted,
the earth shook, and the Rakshas began to fly on all sides. And seeing
Triciras and Yudhyonmatta slain and seeing also the irrepressible
Devantaka and Narantaka slain (in the encounter), that highly irascible
and powerful Rakshasa--Matta--was transported with passion, and then
took up a flaming mace entirely wrought with iron inlaid with gold;
frothy with flesh and gore; mighty to behold; gratified with the blood
of foes; with its end flaming in splendour; decked with red wreaths; and
capable of striking terror into Airavata and Mahapadma and
Sarvabhauma.[251] And flaming up like the Fire arisen at the end of a
Yuga, that foremost of Rakshasas--Matta--wrought with fury,--rushed
against the monkeys. Then the mighty and powerful
monkey--Rishabha--springing up before Ravana's son, stood before the
hosts of Matta. And seeing that mountain-like monkey staying before
(him), Matta, enraged, dealt him a blow on the breast. And smit with the
mace, that foremost of monkeys, with his breast riven and trembling,
began to bleed copiously. And regaining his senses after a long while,
Rishabha--lord of monkeys--inflamed with wrath, pouting out his upper
lip, gazed at Mahaparcwa.[252] And then impetuously approaching the
Rakshasa, that foremost of heroic monkeys resembling a hill, endowed
with vehemence, clenching his fist, suddenly smote him with a blow on
his breast. Thereat like a tree whose roots have been severed, he
suddenly dropped on the ground, covered with blood. And thereupon,
(Rishabha) swiftly snatched his dreadful mace resembling the rod of Yama
himself; and shouted. Only for a moment did he[253] remain like one
dead. Recovering his senses, the enemy of the immortals, looking like
evening clouds in hue, suddenly springing up, attacked the son of the
king of waters.[254] And thereat, he dropped down to the earth,
senseless. In a moment regaining his consciousness, he again bounded
up,--and whirling the mace resembling a peak of the foremost of
mountains, in that encounter dealt (Matta) a blow therewith. And
descending on the body of that dreadful one--the enemy of deities,
sacrifices and Vipras--that terrific mace rived his breast; and he began
to bleed profusely, even as the lord of mountains discharges minerals
and water. And taking the terrific mace of the high-souled (Matta) and
swinging it again and again, (Rishabha) rushed (against the Rakshasas).
And that high-souled one began to slaughter Matta's forces in the field.
And broken down by his own mace, Matta dropped down like a hill, with
his teeth and eyes shrivelled up; and he dropped to the earth deprived
of strength and life, with his eyes paling. And on that Rakshasa
falling, the Rakshasa forces began to fly. And on that brother of Ravana
having been slain, that host of Nairitas appearing like the ocean in
grandeur, leaving its arms behind,--solely for life rushed away, like
unto the deep riven (by the winds).
