the gods and sages : nectar abides in the depth of his navel; by virtue of it, my lord, Råvaƒa
survives.î The All-merciful rejoiced to hear the words of Vibh∂aƒa and took terrible shafts
in His hands. Many ill-omens manifested themselves at that time. Donkeys, jackals
and dogs howled in large numbers. Birds too screamed, and thereby portended a world
calamity: and comets appeared in every quarter of the heavens. There was a preternatural
and unusual glow in the horizon on all sides and a solar eclipse occurred even without
the day of the new moon (when the sun and the moon are in conjunction). Mandodar∂ís
heart beat wildly and idols shed tears from their eyes. (1ó5)

Idols wept, lightning flashed with thunderclap in the air, furious winds blew, the
earth quaked and the clouds dropped blood, hair and dust; who could recount the great
ill-omens? The gods in heaven were dismayed at the sight of the boundless portentous
phenomena and shouted ìVictory ! Victory !!î And perceiving the distress of the gods the
gracious Lord of the Raghus set an arrow to His bow.

Drawing the bow-string right up to His ear the Lord of the Raghus let fly thirty-one
shafts, which flew forth like the serpents of Death. (102)
