Padma Purana
Many kings surrounded by horses, chariots, elephants and foot soldiers, roaring like lions and moving with a large group, aimed their tomars, arrows, nooses, chakras and gold weapons at the single king Dasharatha with great eagerness. ||111-112||
It was amazing that King Dasharatha, even though he was in a single chariot, was Dasharatha, and at that time he was becoming a hundred-charioted or countless-charioted by his prowess. ||113||
The king Dasharatha, who held a circular bow, pierced the weapons of the enemies with arrows whose drawing and holding were not known. ||114||
He made the Hemprabha, whose flag and umbrella had been cut and fallen down and whose vehicle was exhausted and very anxious, chariotless in a moment with arrows shining like gold. ||115||
Then Hemprabha, whose mind was filled with fear, mounted another chariot and fled quickly, tarnishing his glory. ||116||
King Dasharatha pierced the enemies and weapons and protected himself and his wife. The work that one Dasharatha did at that time was worthy of an infinite chariot. ||117||
Seeing the lion-like Dasharatha, who was shaking his arrow-like hair, the deer-like warriors fled in all eight directions. ||118||
At that time, this loud sound was rising in both his and the enemy's army: "Oh! What amazing power this man has! And what a miracle this girl has done!" ||119||
People could recognize King Dasharatha, who was holding high his prowess, only by the victory cry proclaimed by the devotees or by his unparalleled power. ||120||
Then King Dasharatha took the hand of the girl in the city called Kautukamangal, where others had performed auspicious ceremonies and rituals. ||121||
After that, King Dasharatha went to Ayodhya and King Janaka went to Mithilapuri, whose wedding celebration was held with great wealth and splendor. ||122||
There, the relatives filled with joy performed the rebirth festival and the re-coronation of King Dasharatha with great splendor. ||123||
The virtuous King Dasharatha, who was free from all kinds of fear and whose orders were considered sacred by all, was playing in Ayodhya like Indra in heaven. ||124||
