on of Ravana". Saying this, the heroic Lakshmana in that conflict,
drawing the straight-speeding arrow up to his ear,[370] discharged it at
Indrajit. And shooting the Aindra weapon, that destroyer of hostile
heroes--Lakshmana--severing from its trunk the head of Indrajit with its
corslet, graced with burning ear-rings, brought it down to the ground.
And the mighty severed head of the Rakshasa's son, resembling one made
of gold, was seen covered with blood. And slain, Ravana's son dropped to
the earth, with his armour and corslet on, and his bow fallen (from his
grasp). And then all the monkeys with Bibhishana set up cheers, even as
the immortals cheered at the destruction of Vritra. And in the sky there
arose the victorious shouts of all beings and high souled saints, and
also of Gandharbas and Apsaras. And knowing (Indrajit) fallen (in
fight), the mighty army of Rakshasas; attacked by monkeys burning for
victory, fled in the ten cardinal directions. And assailed by the
monkeys, the Rakshasas, pursued (by their foes), with their senses lost,
rushed towards Lanka, leaving their arms behind. And overwhelmed with
fright, Rakshasas fled in an hundred directions, all renouncing their
arms--bearded darts, and swords, and axes. And harassed by the monkeys,
some hurriedly entered Lanka, and some plunged into the sea, and some
saught shelter in the mountains. And seeing Indrajit slain and lying
down on the field of battle, thousands of Rakshasas fled away. As when
the Sun sets, his rays remain no longer, on that Rakshasa having fallen,
the Rakshasas dispersed in the ten cardinal quarters, like unto the Sun
when his rays have been rendered mild, or fire which hath been
extinguished. And the mighty-armed (Indrajit) was utterly reft of life.
And on the son of the Rakshasa-chief falling, the world, having its foe
slain, with its huge affliction gone off, experienced the bright of joy.
And on that unrighteous Rakshasa having been slain, the reverend Sakra
together with the Maharshis was filled with delight. And sounds of
kettle-drums were heard in the sky proceeding from the celestials. And
blossoms were showered by dancing Apsaras and high-souled Gandharbas.
And this was wonderful (to behold.) And on that Rakshasa of fell deeds
having been slain, the dust was laid, the water became transparent, the
sky looked bright, and the deities and Danavas were filled with
rejoicings. And on that Dread of all creatures having been slain, the
gods, Gandharbas and Danavas, assembled together in joy, said,--"Now let
the Brahmanas who have their sins removed, with their anxiety gone off,
range about". And then the monkey-leaders, seeing that foremost of
Nairitas of unparalleled prowess slain in battle, began to gladly pay
homage (unto Lakshmana). And Bibhishana and Hanuman and Jambavan--leader
of bears--saluted and hymned Lakshmana on the score of his victory. And
shouting and bounding and roaring, the monkeys at this hour of high joy
stood surrounding Raghu's son.[371] And flourishing their tails and
striking the earth (with them), the monkeys shouted,--'Victory unto
Lakshmana!' And embracing each other, the monkeys with delighted spirits
began to converse in various ways touching Raghava's welfare. And
beholding that deed, difficult of being done, performed by their beloved
friend--Lakshmana--and hearing their foe--Indrajit--slain (in battle),
the celestials attained the summit of joy.

Having in the conflict slain that conquerer of enemies, Lakshmana graced
with auspicious marks, with his body bathed in blood, experienced
delight. And then supporting himself on Bibhishana and Hanuman, the
exceedingly powerful Lakshmana endowed with prowess, taking Jambavan,
Hanuman and all the monkeys with him, speedily went to the place where
Sugriva and Raghava were. And then going round Rama and saluted him,
Sumitra's son stood before his brother, like Indra's brother staying
before Sakra. And approaching with a look which of itself was
significant,[372] the heroic Bibhishana described unto the high-souled
Raghava the dreadful destruction of Indrajit. And then the delighted
Bibhishana related unto Rama how the high-souled Lakshmana had cut off
the head of Ravana's son. And as soon as that exceedingly powerful one
heard of the destruction of Indrajit by Lakshmana, he experienced a huge
accession of joy, and thus delivered himself,--"Excellent, O Lakshmana!
Pleased am I (with thee). Thou hast performed a difficult feat. The son
of Ravana having been slain, know for certain that we have been
victorious". And then smelling the head of the bashful Lakshmana,
enhancer of fame, (Rama) endowed with prowess, from affection forcibly
hugged him into his lap. And making him seat on his lap, and
overpowering him with embraces,[373] (Rama) again and again tenderly
eyed his brother, Lakshmana. And moved with grief, that best of persons,
Rama, smelling the head of Lakshmana, wounded with darts and having his
person pierced (with arms), sighing and breathing hard--and nursing his
body with his hand, addressed Lakshmana, soothing him,--'To-day his son
having been slain, I deem Ravana himself as slain in fight. On that
wicked-minded enemy of mine having been destroyed, I am victorious (in
encounter). By luck, O hero, hast thou in conflict severed the right arm
of the fell Ravana. Verily he (Indrajit) was his stay. Both Bibhishana
and Hanuman have done mighty deeds in battle. In three days and nights,
(my enemy) hath been brought down. To-day have I been made foeless. Now
Ravana will for certain march forth,--backed by a mighty phalanx. Ravana
will for certain sally out, hearing his son brought down. That
unconquerable lord of Rakshasas, aggrieved for the destruction of his
son, marching out,--shall I slay, environed with a mighty force. O
Lakshmana, the conqueror of Sakra having in battle been slain by
thee--who art my lord--Sita and the (entire) earth are not incapable of
being obtained by me". Having thus soothed and embraced his brother,
Raghu's son--Rama--highly rejoiced, calling Sushena, said,--"Do thou so
act that this highly wise son of Sumitra, devoted to his friends, may be
healed and be eased. Do thou without delay heal Sumitra's son, attached
to his friends, of his wounds. And do thou also carefully relieve all
those heroes in the army of bears and monkeys fighting with trees,--as
well as others, who have been wounded and have got sores (in
consequence)". Thus addressed by Rama, the high-souled monkey-leader
administered a potent medicine to the nose of Lakshmana. And smelling
the same, he got healed; he was relieved of his pain and his outgoing
vitality was shut up. And at the mandate of Raghava he likewise treated
his friends headed by Bibhishana and all the principal monkeys. And
restored to his natural condition, Sumitra's son, healed, and with his
exhaustion removed, and his suffering gone off in a moment, experienced
exhilaration of spirits. And Rama and the monkey-king and Bibhishana and
the powerful lord of bears along with their hosts, seeing Sumitra's son
risen hale, rejoiced greatly in delight. And the high-souled son of
Dacaratha honored exceedingly that exceedingly hard feat of Lakshamana;
and the monkey-king, hearing that the conquerer of Sakra had fallen in
fight, was filled with joy.

Lakshmana's having been wounded in the encounter. I differ from
him.--T.
