in dismay. (1ó4)

Blood had collected in the hollows of the earth and dried up there and clouds of
dust hung over it like ashes over heaps of live coal. (53)

The wounded warriors shone like so many Ki≈‹uka* trees in flower. The two
champions, Lakmaƒa and Meghanåda, grappled with each other in mounting fury.
Neither could get the better of the other. The demon, however, resorted to wily tricks and
unfair means. Lakmaƒa, who was no other than Ananta (the serpent-god ›ea, whose
wrath brings about the dissolution of the universe), then waxed furious and in a trice
smashed the chariot and tore its driver to pieces. ›ea (Lakmaƒa) smote him in so
many ways that the demon (Meghanåda) was all but dead. The son of Råvaƒa thought
within himself that he was in straits and the enemy would surely take his life. He threw
a javelin which was notorious for killing warriors and was all brilliance; and lo! it struck
Lakmaƒa in the breast. The blow was so smart that the prince swooned and Meghanåda
now went near him shedding all fear. (1ó4)

* A Ki≈‹uka tree bears crimson flowers; hence the wounded parts of the warriors have been
compared with the flowers of a Ki≈‹uka tree.
