Padma Purana
Rama and Lakshmana obtained the Vidya (knowledge) called Singhavahani and Garuda Vahini. Due to their influence, they captured Indrajit and others. ||27||
The same Lakshmana who had killed Ravana by obtaining the Chakra Ratna, has now been killed by the wheel of time. ||28||
The monkey warriors were intoxicated by the shade of his arms, but now, with their wings clipped, they have become fit for the ultimate attack. ||29||
Today is the twelfth day of mourning for Raghava. He carries the dead body of Lakshmana, and what other kind of delusion can be upon him? ||30||
Although he is unparalleled, the destroyer of weapons like the Hal and Musala, yet he is vulnerable to attack because he is trapped in the mire of grief. ||31||
We fear only him, and no one else, because his younger brother Lakshmana has destroyed all the connections of our lineage. ||32||
Then, Indrajit's son, Vanamali, hearing of the calamity that had befallen his vast lineage, became agitated and blazed forth with the renowned path, that is, he flared up with the renowned vigor of the Kshatriya clan. ||33||
He commanded his ministers, gathered all the people for war by the sound of the drums, and set out for Ayodhya with his son, Charuratna. ||34||
Those two, Vajramali and Charuratna, who were protected by the ocean of their army and who were filled with anger towards Sugriva, were eager to provoke Rama. ||35||
Hearing that Vanamali had arrived with Charuratna, all the Vidyaadhara kings came to Ramachandra. ||36||
At that time, Ayodhya was filled with confusion, agitated on all sides, and trembled with fear, just as it had trembled when Lavanasura had arrived. ||37||
Seeing the enemy army approaching, Rama, who possessed unparalleled valor, carried the dead Lakshmana in his arms and looked towards the great bow called Vavarta, which was steady in its nature and crooked like the brow of Yama. ||38-39||
Meanwhile, in heaven, there was a great tremor among the army of the god of death, Krtaantavaktra, and the celestial bird Jatayu. ||40||
Many islands were destroyed. ||41||
