English Commentary
Lakshmana (man) and Indrajith (Rakshasa) were fond of battle and intending to win in the fight overcoming each other. Each of them were like elephants but were broken into pieces. Vibheeshana, with eagerness to witness the battle stood in the forefront of the battlefield watching the fight. Vibheeshana encourages Vanaras to fight against Rakshasas. Dreadful fight takes place between Lakshmana and Indrajith both releasing a volley of arrows. Charioteer of Indrajith gets killed by Lakshmana, the horses get killed by the Vanaras. Indrajith walks down desperately.
