THE DEATH OF INDRAJIT

Raavana felt that Supaarsva was right and his words were good. Seated on his throne, he was silent for a while, lost 'in profound meditation. Then he addressed the commanders with folded hands, saying:

"Go now with all your strength and slay Raama. If even you fail, I shall go myself and destroy him."

Never before had he been so courteous and humble when dealing with his officers. Adversity had taught him this lesson. Mounted on chariots that shone like the hills on the evening horizon and on the back of great elephants and beautiful horses, Raavana's army went in full force for the great battle.

The Vaanaras tore up rocks and trees and attacked the Raakshasas fiercely. The Raakshasas returned the attack with equally grim ferocity.
