ദേവന്മാർക്കു ശത്രുവായ മഹാബലശാലിയായ ആ മുൻനിര രാക്ഷസയോദ്ധാവ് യുദ്ധത്തിൽ വധിക്കപ്പെട്ടപ്പോൾ, ക്രോധിതനായ ത്രിമൂർധൻ മൂർച്ചയുള്ള അഗ്രങ്ങളുള്ള ഭയങ്കര ബാണവർഷം നീലന്റെ നെഞ്ചിന്മേൽ ചൊരിഞ്ഞു.
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.
