Ramayana 6.375

Ramayana · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

Then Rama's eyes with fury blazed As Indra's heavenly spear he raised. Loud rang the bells: the glistering head Bright flashes through the region shed. Down came the spear in swift descent: The giant's lance was crushed and bent. Then Ravan's horses brave and fleet Fell dead beneath his arrowy sleet. Fierce on his foeman Rama pressed, And gored with shafts his mighty breast. And spouting streams of crimson dyed The weary giant's limbs and side.
