त्रिशिरा–देवान्तक–महोदर–मत्त (महापार्श्व) वधः | Slaying of Trisira, Devantaka, Mahodara, and Matta (Mahaparsva)

When that foremost rākṣasa warrior—mighty and a foe of the gods—was slain in the fray, Triśiras, enraged, poured a fierce shower of sharp-pointed arrows upon Nīla’s chest.
Devanthaka, the foremost of Rakshasa warriors, an enemy of gods, endowed with great strength, having been killed in the conflict, Trisira became angry and rained arrows on Neela's chest.
The verse contrasts righteous purpose with rage-driven retaliation: anger (krodha) escalates violence and clouds judgment, even in wartime.
After Devanthaka’s death, Triśiras responds in fury by launching a heavy arrow-barrage at the vānara leader Nīla.
On the vānara side, endurance under assault is implied; on the rākṣasa side, uncontrolled wrath is highlighted as a destabilizing trait.
