Pada waktu itu para dewa, Gandharva, Nāga agung, para Ṛṣi, Dānava dan Daitya, serta para pengembara langit laksana Garuḍa, yang berada di atas vimāna, menyaksikan peperangan itu bagaikan saat pralaya—peleraian dunia—ketika dua pahlawan bertempur dengan pelbagai senjata yang menggerunkan.
Raghava pierced into the chest of Ravana sharp arrows and with great effort three sharp arrows on the forehead.
