Thousands upon thousands of chariots, bannered and yoked to horses the color of fire, and thousands of rākṣasa warriors who fought with maces and iron bars—whose standards shone with gold, heroic and able to assume forms at will—were slain by Rāma, tireless in action, with blazing, keen arrows adorned with heated gold: forces deployed by Rāvaṇa.
The Vanaras and Rakshasas attacked one another with wonderful maces, darts, swords, and axes in war.
Dharma is portrayed as effective protection against oppressive force: even vast, dazzling might collapses when opposed by righteous, disciplined action.
The narrator summarizes the immense scale of Rāma’s destruction of the rākṣasa forces fielded by Rāvaṇa.
Akliṣṭa-karma—Rāma’s tireless competence and unwavering commitment to duty.
