L*l Ramacanada, suroundel by Lakṣmaṇa and monkey sokatierslike Sugriva, Hanumān, Gandhamāda, Nila, Angada, Jāmbavān, and Panasa, attacked Rāvaṇa's soldiers, who were
fully equipped with various invincible weapons like swords, lances, bows, prāsas, rstis, sakti arrows, khadgas, and tomaras.
Angada and the other commanders of Rāma's soldiers faced the elephants, infantry, horses, and chariots of the enemy and hurled big trees and mountain peaks against them, along with clubs and arrows. Thus the soldiers of Lord Rāmacandra killed Rāvaṇa's soldiers, who had lost all good fortune because Rāvaṇa had been condemned by the anger of mother Sītā.
Thereafter, when Rāvaṇa saw that his soldiers had been lost, he was extremely angry. Thus he mounted his flower-bedecked airplane and flew toward Lord Rāmacandra, who sat on the effulgent chariot brought by Matali, the chariot driver of Indra. Then Rāvaṇa struck Lord Rāmacandra with sharp arrows.
Lord Rāmacandra said to Rāvaṇa, "You are the most abominable of the man-eaters. Indeed, you are like their stool. You resemble a dog, for as a dog steals eatables from the kitchen in the absence of the householder, in My absence you kidnapped My wife, Sītā-devī. You are most abominable, sinful, and shameless. Therefore, as Yamarāja punishes sinful men, today I shall also punish you."
After thus rebuking Rāvaṇa, Lord Rāmacandra fixed an arrow on His bow, aimed it at Rāvaṇa, and then released it. The arrow pierced Rāvaṇa's heart like a thunderbolt. Upon seeing this, Rāvaṇa's followers cried out tumultuously, "Alas! alas! What has happened? What has happened?" They watched in horror as Rāvaṇa, vomiting blood from his ten mouths, fell from his airplane, just as a pious man falls to earth from the heavenly planets when the results of his pious activities are exhausted.
