## The Twelfth Chapter
**330.** Ravana, skilled in warfare, seeing his army bewildered, released the Prabhastra, the arrow of light.
**331.** Just as the truth of the Jina teachings destroys the beliefs of the misguided, so too did that Prabhastra instantly dispel all darkness.
**332.** Then, in a fit of rage, Ravana unleashed the Naga Astra, filling the sky with radiant serpents.
**333.** Those arrows, capable of assuming any form at will, went to Indra and rendered him motionless, clinging to his body.
**334.** Indra was overwhelmed by fear, surrounded by those serpents, dark as the finest indigo, shaped like rings, and with flickering tongues.
**335.** Just as a creature trapped in the ocean of existence is bound by the web of karma, so too was Indra, encircled by the serpents, rendered helpless.
**336.** Indra then focused his mind on the Garuda Astra, and instantly the sky turned yellow with the brilliance of golden wings.
**337.** The wind from Garuda's wings, with its immense speed, caused Ravana's entire army to sway like a swing, unable to maintain their balance.
**338.** The Naga arrows, struck by the wind of Garuda, vanished without a trace. Their points of attachment to Indra's body were no longer discernible.
**339.** Embraced by Garuda, freed from all bonds, Indra became as terrifying as the sun in the summer.
**340.** Seeing Indra freed from the serpent coils, Ravana mounted his victorious elephant, the Triloka Mandana, whose tusks dripped with intoxicating nectar.
**341.** In a fit of rage, Indra brought his own elephant, Airavata, close to Ravana. A great battle ensued between the two proud elephants.
**342.** Both elephants, dripping with intoxicating nectar, adorned with lightning-like golden garlands, and roaring continuously, assumed the form of clouds.
**343.** The clash of their tusks was like the thunder of falling thunderbolts, shaking the entire world with their resounding roar.
**344.** With their powerful trunks, they struck each other repeatedly, their movements swift and fierce.
