Rama Kills Dhooshana
Seeing part of his Army being decimated, Dhooshana sent reinforcement of 5000 Rakshasaas who were valorous and would never turn back from Battle and who were fast. They constantly showered on RamaTridents, Swords, Boulders, Pattasam, Arrows, Trees from all directions. Seeing that Rama sent sharp arrows to stop them, Like the well built Rogue Oxen with its eyes closed not caring for anything decided to kill all the Rakshasaas got enraged again, with sparks flying from the eyes, shot Very sharp Bhanams (Arrows with Feathers) on all 4 directions, he scattered Dhooshana and his Rakshasaas. Immediately he started hitting Rama with thunderbolt like Arrows, Rama thought how long should I fight with this person, with one Bhanam (Arrow with feather) he cut off the Bow and, 4 Arrows and the Horses tied to the Chariot, with another 8th day crecent Moon Arrow cut off the Cahiroteer’s head, with 3 Arrows hit Dhooshana on his Chest. Dhooshana lost his Bow, with Horses dead, Chariot broken, without Charioteer jumped on the ground took a huge tree like Staff and pounced on Rama. Gundanthadi (Huge stalk of wood decorated with Golden bandings and fitted with sharp pointed iron spikes embedded, was coated with enemies flesh from heart’s, Celestials tremble on seeing it.That gory weapon which destroys the enemies City, decimates the Minarets, like the Kala sarpam (Dance of Death in Serpant form), and Vajhrayudha (Lord Indra’s weapon), Dhooshan was charging at Rama who saw this and sent 2 Arrows and cut off his Arms, Like the Elephant of Indra and Tusk broken Great Elephant with Arms sliced he fell down on Earth and died.
All the Living beings celebrated Rama for vaniquishing this atrocious Dhooshana. Soon Mahakapaala with trident, Sthoolaaksha with Pattaya, Pramadhi with Axe, came runiing with anger looked like they were being Lured by Rama as Yama Pash {Laso (rope of death of Yama) luring him to tie noose around their neck} ready to pounce on him. Rama like inviting the special guests went towards them with sharp pointed Arrows sheared the Heads of Mahakapaala. With many arrows he drilled holes on Pramadhi’s body, like felling a large Tree Rama shot him with Arrows and made him fall on the ground and die. He drilled the eyes of Sthoolaksh with his arrows. The 5000 Rakshasaas who accompanied Dhoosahana were sent packing to Yamalok (Place where Dead go) with 5000 Arrows by Rama.
Seeing this massacre of Dhooshana and his entourages Kara got angry addressed his Brigadiers ‘Dhooshan is also dead, His Army also is destroyed by Rama. So you go with a large army with very many weapons kill this measly Human’ commanded Kara. He came running towards Rama. Then the 12 Ministers of Kara Seynakami, Prithugreeva, Yagnyacahthru, Vihangama, Dhurjaya, Karaveeraksha, Parusha, Kalakaarmukha, Mega maali, Mahaamali, arbhasy and Rudira with their Army opposed Rama and showered him with Arrows.The Arrows of Rama who have golden bandings in them and is surrounded by smoke screen coughing our infernos like Vajhrayudha splits open huge trees, these Arrows Split open these 12 Ministers. Their shields were split open, with Bows broken, crown scattered, Hairs untied, blood flowing like the Kushal grass is spread in the Yaga platform they fell on the Ground. That huge forest in a second looked aghast with silence filled with corpses of the rakshasaas with blood flowing like streams appeared like a Huge Hell.
Rama standing alone, 14,000 Dangerous Rakshasaas mounted on different Vehicles with variety of Weapons and with Bow and Arrow opposed him. One single man in few seconds sent all of them to Yam Lok (Place where Dead go) with his Arrows. **(it is said Vishwamithra’s Manmadaha Missile was used by Rama, which made enemy Rakshasaa soldier see his compatriot Rakshasaa as Rama and they killed each other).
In that Huge army only Kara and Thrichiras were left. There was no imminent danger to Rama the destroyer of Rakshasaa Kula (Clan). Others who were great Valorous were burnt by Rama’s Tejhas whose effervescence was Dazzling in all directions with Limitless Aura. Kara seeing his huge Army decimated in no time by that Great Warrior Rama decided hereafter should not be Alakshyam (Contempt, indifference, Ignoring, not bothered, care too hoots, abhore, contemptuous) like Indra comes with Vajhrayudha he directed his Chariot towards Rama.(Slokas 38)
