**Pashchachaturvimshattamaṃ Parva**
245. The great battle was taking place there, summoned by warriors who were extremely joyous and flustered, having cut their great weapons against each other.
13. In the battlefield, Lakshman, who bore a new, vibrant splendor, was engaging in a fearsome battle with the demon Khara, raising his divine bow and sending arrows across the directions and the sky.
14. He engaged in combat with Khara, who was accompanied by the terrible Bhairava. Lakshman, the bearer of Goddess Lakshmi, was like a master in the face of the sura-dvishas (enemies of the gods).
15. Then, filled with rage, the fierce Khara, with fiery red eyes, harshly spoke to Lakshman in the battle, saying, “O extremely agile sinner! Having slain my unoffending son and fondled the breasts of my wife, where are you going now?”
16. “Today, I will destroy your life with pointed arrows. You will reap the fruits of your actions.”
17. “O most insignificant! Unashamed! Lusting after the company of another man's wife! Now, come before me and receive your fate in the afterlife.”
19. Then, enraged by those harsh words, Lakshman, with a mind stirred up, filled the entire sky with his following words: “Why are you, insignificant one, roaring in vain like a dog? I will take you to the same place where your son has gone.”
20-21. Saying this, Lakshman rendered Khara-Dushana, standing in the sky, without a chariot, cutting his bow and banner, and rendered him powerless.
22. Then, just as a planet possessing a shaky body descends to the Earth when its merit is exhausted, Khara-Dushana, appearing red with anger, fell from the sky to the ground.
23. The rays of the sword enveloped his body as he rushed toward Lakshman, who stood ready with the sword named Surya-hasa before him.
24. Thus, a variety of terrifying battles took place between the two in close proximity, and the deities in heaven showered them with flowers, exclaiming “Sādhu! Sādhu! Dhanya! Dhanya!”
25. At that moment, with an unshakable body, Lakshman, filled with rage, brought down the sword named Surya-hasa upon the head of Khara-Dushana.
