HANUMAN BOUND
The young warrior aimed three sharp arrows at Hanumaan. They struck his body and drew blood. But Maaruti's strength
increased and his face shone with new splendour. He too was pleased with the prowess of the youthful Raakshasa.

Fierce grew the battle between the two. Hundreds of arrows rose in clouds into the sky and hit Maaruti. Like rain falling on a rock, they fell on Hanumaan's body. Rising in the air Hanumaan dodged about evading the arrows-slipping as it were through the
meshes of that deadly network of missiIes-and finding a favourable opening closed with Aksha.

Hanumaan admired Aksha's youthful promise and heroism, and was sorry to have to slay him, but there was no help for it for the prince seemed to get more
and more formidable as the fight went on, and it was unwise to take chances with him. At last Hanumaan hardened his heart and decided to destroy the youth.
