Shloka 39
रामस्तु शरजालानि ववर्ष जलदो यथा । तानि लड़्कां समासाद्य जघ्नुस्तान् रजनीचरान्,उधर श्रीरामचन्द्रजी भी, जैसे बादल जल बरसाते हैं, उसी प्रकार बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा करने लगे और वे बाण लंकामें घुसकर वहाँ खड़े हुए निशाचरोंके प्राण लेने लगे
rāmas tu śarajālāni vavarṣa jalado yathā | tāni laṅkāṃ samāsādya jaghnus tān rajanīcarān ||
Mārkaṇḍeya said: Rāma began to shower volleys of arrows, like a rain-cloud pouring down water. Reaching Laṅkā, those arrows struck down the night-roaming rākṣasas who stood there, taking their lives.

Mārkaṇḍeya describes Rāma in battle: he releases dense volleys of arrows like a rain-cloud, and the arrows reach Laṅkā and kill the rākṣasas stationed there.
