English Commentary
Highly energetic Atikaya, who was like a mountain in form, had huge body, obtained boons from Brahma, subdued the pride of Devas and Danavas, was equal to Indra in valour. Seeing his own army of Rakshasas that caused horripilation, uncles who were bulls among Rakshasas struck down in the battlefield and his own brothers Yuddhotama (Mahodara) and Matta (Mahaparsva) struck down, he flew in rage. Atikaya, son of Dhanyamalini, arrives on the battlefield. Vanaras and Rama wondered at his form, chariot, and brilliance. Lakshmana has a terrific fight with Atikaya and kills him.
