English Commentary
The Lord of Rakshasas was overcome with anger on hearing about Dhumraksha's death. He was hissing like a serpent, heaving a deep burning sigh, for having done a dirty task. He spoke to cruel Vajradamshtra of mighty prowess. Ravana sends Vajradamshtra to fight. Fierce fight takes place between Vanaras and Vajradamshtra.
