## The Most Auspicious Festival
Those who follow, filled with fear, are defeated only until they see their lord, with a smiling face, in front of them. ||85||
Then, mounted on an excellent chariot, wielding a divine bow, his chest adorned with a garland, his crown and earrings swaying, shining like the autumn sun, unstoppable in his movement, the lord, filled with extreme anger, faced the enemy. ||86-87||
Just as a fire consumes a pile of dry leaves in an instant, so too did the destroyer of enemies, Shatrughna, burn hundreds of warriors in a moment. ||88||
No warrior could stand against him in battle, just as no one tainted by other doctrines can stand before a learned man of the Jain faith. ||89||
Any human who wished to fight him met the same fate as an elephant facing a lion, destroyed in an instant. ||60||
Their army, like the insane, was utterly distraught, falling, heavily wounded, seeking refuge in Madhu. ||61||
As Shatrughna advanced, Madhu cut his banner, and Shatrughna, in turn, pierced his chariots and horses with arrows sharp as razors. ||62||
Then, Madhu, his mind filled with confusion, his body burning with anger, mounted a huge elephant, like a mountain. ||63||
Like a great cloud covering the sun, Madhu aimed to cover Shatrughna with a continuous barrage of arrows. ||64||
The clever Shatrughna, in turn, pierced his arrows and armor, welcoming him to the battle with a generous offering of arrows, as is the custom. ||65||
Then, Madhu, realizing he was armed only with a spear, and burdened by the great sorrow of his son's death, saw his enemy as invincible and thought, "My end is near." ||66||
Remembering his past deeds, his wisdom, his non-violence, his words, his patience, he realized that his karma was exhausted. ||67||
