The twelfth battle
Where the ground was covered with a layer of blood, and the sky and directions were covered with blood, and where the roar of the elephants created a fierce wind. || 304 || The battle was fierce, but the valiant Ravana, filled with the curiosity of war, was not paying attention to it. He said to his charioteer, Sumati, the son of Kaikasi, that the chariot should be taken in front of Indra, for what is the use of killing his other vassals who are not our equals? || 305 - 306 || My weapon does not rise against these insignificant vassals, nor does my mind, which is eager to devour the great enemy, turn towards them. || 307 || This Vidyaadhara, who has made himself a laughingstock, has made himself invincible out of petty pride. I will remove his Indrahood today with death. || 308 || This Indra has made himself great, he has made these Lokapalas. He considers other humans as gods and the Vijayardha mountain as heaven. || 309 || It is a matter of great wonder that just as a foolish clown, wearing the guise of a noble man, forgets himself, so this foolish man, intoxicated by his petty wealth, is forgetting himself and becoming a laughingstock for the people. || 310 || He has lived for a long time in the womb of his mother, filled with semen, blood, flesh, bones and marrow, and has come to consider himself a god. || 311 || This impatient person, who is doing something with the power of knowledge, considers himself a god, just as a bird considers itself a Garuda. || 312 || Having said this, Sumati, the charioteer, entered Ravana's chariot, protected by the mighty vassals, into Indra's army. || 313 || There, Ravana saw with a clear eye Indra's vassals, who were fleeing, unable to fight, and whose pathetic movements were like those of insects. || 314 || Just as the flow of water cannot be stopped by the banks, and just as a man who observes vows with a false vision cannot stop the momentum of his mind with anger, so the enemies could not stop Ravana from advancing. || 315 || Just as darkness is destroyed by the rising of the moon, so the army of the gods was destroyed. || 316 ||
