SERPENT DARTS

Vidyunmaali aimed his darts at Sushena. The latter smashed with a rock the chariot of the Raakshasa. Vidyunmaali jumped out with his mace and attacked Sushena who crushed him to death with a rock. In this way many warriors fought and many died.

The battle raged throughout the day. And at night the Raakshasas would not stop fighting. The battle became fierce. Blood flowed in streams. There was terrible slaughter on both sides. Angada attacked Indrajit, slew his horses and charioteer and smashed the chariot. The Vaanaras admired the skill and strength of their prince and raised shouts of joy.

All the warriors in the army praised the Vaanara prince's prowess. Indrajit lost his temper along with his chariot and resorted to sorcery. Making himself invisible he aimed many darts at Raama and Lakshmana who were greatly harassed at this attack from a foe whose whereabouts no one could discover and who seemed to shower deadly missiles from all sides.
