    Yuddha Kaanda Sarga 88

    Yuddha Kaanda - Sarga 88
    In this Sarga, Lakshmaṇa and Indrajit engage in a fierce and tumultuous fight, each taunting, deriding and challenging the other. They blot the sky with their arrows. They look like trees in red flower, bleeding profusely. Each being the foremost of bowmen, each having mastered Astras, each being valiant, powerful, strong, unrelenting and each bent on winning the fight, the fight goes on for a long time, with neither of them showing any signs of fatigue.

    holding the sturdy, hefty, big,
    powerful and frightful bow,
    his hands on arrows that oppress the foe,
    seated in the well-decorated
    chariot yoked with black horses,
    looking like one who puts an end to Time.
