Padma Purana
Having mounted the chariot, he again attacked Yudhishthira. His chariot was shattered by the arrows of Sri Saila. ||7|| Seeing him bewildered, Dasamukha quickly created a chariot with his multiform knowledge. ||72|| Mounting that chariot, named Prajvalitotama, the great luminous one, bound the chariotless Hanuman. ||73|| Seeing the monkey-bannered soldiers running, the Rakshasa soldiers said, "He has received the fruit of his actions, the opposite of what he did." ||74|| Seeing Hanuman disarmed, Vaidehi ran. He too was made chariotless by the rain of arrows of Maya. ||75|| Then the king of Kishkindha, enraged, stood before him. He too was disarmed by the Daitya and thrown to the ground. ||76|| Then Vibhishana, filled with rage, stood before Maya. A fierce battle ensued between them, each striking the other with arrows. ||77|| Seeing the armor of Kaikesi's son broken, his body covered in blood, resembling a red Asoka tree, ||78|| seeing Vibhishana bewildered, terrified, and fleeing, the monkey-bannered army weakened, Rama prepared to fight. ||79|| Mounting his chariot, adorned with the knowledge of the gods, he roared, "Fear not!" and with a smile, he rushed forward. ||80|| He entered the enemy army, resembling a dense cloud of rain with lightning, his radiance like the morning sun. ||81|| When Rama was about to destroy the enemy army, Hanuman, Vaidehi, and Vibhishana regained their courage. ||82|| The monkey army, having received strength from Rama, their fear completely gone, again prepared to fight. ||83|| When the weapons rained down, causing the gods to tremble, the world seemed to be another, devoid of light. ||84|| Then Rama, with little effort, showered Maya with arrows, just as Indra showered the demon Vrtra with arrows. ||85|| Seeing Maya completely bewildered by Rama's arrows, Ravana, enraged, rushed forward, his radiance like that of Yama, the god of death. ||86||
