Khara, great chief, survived the fray,

The monster of the triple head,[470]

And Raghu's son, the foeman's dread.

The other demon warriors, all

Skilful and brave and strong and tall,

In front of battle, side by side,

Struck down by Lakshmaṇ's brother died.

When Khara saw the host he led

Triumphant forth to fight

Stretched on the earth, all smitten dead,
