## Chapter 19

The distressed creature is given reassurance. || 55 ||

Ramachandra, mounted on a chariot drawn by swift horses, his body shining with armor, adorned with garlands and earrings, || 56 || with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, his banner bearing the mark of a lion, a large umbrella waving over his head, his mind as steadfast as the earth, || 57 || entered the vast army playfully, like a beloved of the people, shining like the sun with its rays, surrounded by valiant warriors. || 58 ||

Filled with joy, Rama protected his father Janaka and his brother Kanaka, as per the rules, and destroyed the enemy army as an elephant destroys a banana grove. || 59 ||

Just as a cloud driven by the wind pours rain on the ocean, Lakshmana showered the enemy ranks with arrows that reached their ears. || 60 ||

He rained down extremely sharp chakra, shakti, kanaka, shula, krakacha, and vajradanda weapons. || 61 ||

Just as trees are cut down by falling axes, the aforementioned weapons, released from the arms of Saumitri, fell here and there, cutting the bodies of the Mlechchas. || 62 ||

In this army of the Shabaras, many warriors had their chests pierced by arrows, and thousands fell with their arms and necks severed. || 63 ||

Although the army of the enemies of the people turned back from Lakshmana, he continued to pursue them from behind. || 64 ||

Seeing Saumitri, the king of the deer, whom no one could stop, the Mlechcha tigers, like lions, were filled with fear from all sides. || 65 ||

At that time, those Mlechchas were making a terrifying sound with the roar of large drums, holding many bows, swords, and chakra weapons, standing in rows in groups. || 66 ||

Some Mlechchas were wearing red turbans, some were holding knives, and some were wearing bodies of various colors. || 67 ||

Some were as black as ground collyrium, some were as bright as dry leaves, some were like mud, and some were like copper in color. || 68 ||

Most of them had gems tied in their waistbands, wore garments of leaves, their bodies were smeared with various metals, and they had made garlands of flowers. || 69 ||
