IS THIS NAARAAYANA HIMSELF?

"What is the use of lamentation" they argued. "You who have secured from Brahma strength and armour, why should you fear or lose yourself in grief?" And Trisiras himself set out for the battle-field. Many others eagerly followed him, riding on elephants and chariots.

A great battle ensued. Naraantaka, riding on horse-back spear in hand, wrought havoc among the Vaanaras and was proceeding towards Sugreeva. Angada opposed him and killed him and his horse.

Likewise, Devaantaka and Trisiras were slain by Hanumaan, and Mahodara by Neela. Atikaaya fell a prey to Lakshmana's arrows. But before they died, these four had fought like four Yamas and caused enormous loss to the Vaanara forces.

When Raavana heard that Atikaaya was dead, he was be wildered.
