Thereafter, those seven sons of his chief minister having a lustre similar to that of fire, surrounded by a great army, wielding their respective bows, possessing a great strength, well-trained in archery and the best among knower of weapons, wishing a victory reciprocally, having an immense prowess each, and as directed by Ravana, started highly delighted from that palace, in great chariots yoked with horses. Those chariots were having a noise similar to that of an autumnal cloud, overlaid with a protective armour of gold, surmounted by banners and decorated with smaller flags. They were stretching their bows inlaid with refined gold and looking colourful like clouds accompanied by flashes of lightning.

Coming to know that Kimkaras themselves were killed their mothers together with their relatives and friends were tormented with grief.

Those sons of chief minister, wearing ornaments made of pure gold, rushed towards Hanuma, who was ready for battle and who stood on the archy gate-way motionless.
सृजन्तो बाण वृष्टिम् ते रथ गर्जित निह्स्वनाः | वृष्टिमन्त इव अम्भोदा विचेरुः नैरृत ऋषभाः || ५-४५-७

Those demons looking like clouds, diffusing thunder-like sounds of their chariots and discharging a shower of arrows, moved in different directions resembling rainy clouds in the monsoon.
अवकीर्णः ततः ताभिः हनूमान् शर वृष्टिभिः | अभवत् सम्वृत आकारः शैल राड् इव वृष्टिभिः || ५-४५-८

Thus covered by those showers of arrows, Hanuma became invisible even as a mountain-king is concealed by incessant showers.

Roaming about in a cloudless sky, that fast-footed monkey made the arrows and the speedy chariots of those virile demons, useless.
स तैः क्रीडन् धनुष्मद्भिः व्योम्नि वीरः प्रकाशते | धनुष्मद्भिः यथा मेघैः मारुतः प्रभुः अम्बरे || ५-४५-१०

Playing with those demons wielding a bow each in the sky, that hero shone like the Lord of Wind, playing with clouds brandishing a rain bow.

Making a terrific roar and frightening that great army, the valiant Hanuma rushed on those demons.
तलेन अभिहनत् कांश्चित् पादैः कांश्चित् परम् तपः | मुष्टिना अभ्यहनत् कांश्चिन् नखैः कांश्चित् व्यदारयत् || ५-४५-१२

That Hanuma, the annihilator of enemies, struck some with his palms, some with his feet and some others with his fists. He tore down some others with his nails.
प्रममाथ उरसा कांश्चित् ऊरुभ्याम् अपरान् कपिः | केचित् तस्य एव नादेन तत्र एव पतिता भुवि || ५-४५-१३

Hanuma crushed some with his chest and some others with his thighs. Some fell down there itself on the ground, just by the roar made by Hanuma.
ततः तेष्व् अवपन्नेषु भूमौ निपतितेषु च | तत् सैन्यम् अगमत् सर्वम् दिशो दश भय अर्दितम् || ५-४५-१४

Seeing those demons dying and falling on the ground, all the remaining army, afflicted with fear, fled in ten different directions.
विनेदुः विस्वरम् नागा निपेतुः भुवि वाजिनः | भग्न नीड ध्वजच् चत्रैः भूः च कीर्णा अभवत् रथैः || ५-४५-१५
Their elephants trumpeted with a wrong accent. Horses fell down on the ground. Even the earth was filled with chariots which had their seats, banners and canopies broken.
स्रवता रुधिरेणाथ स्रवन्त्यो दर्शिताः पथि | विविधैश्च स्वरैर्लङ्का ननाद विकृतम् तदा || ५-४५-१६
Thereafter, streams flowing with blood were seen on the way. Lanka resounded with various kinds of horrible voices.
स तान् प्रवृद्धान् विनिहत्य राक्षसान् | महाबलः चण्ड पराक्रमः कपिः | युयुत्सुः अन्यैः पुनः एव राक्षसैः | तत् एव वीरो अभिजगाम तोरणम् तत् || ५-४५-१७
That heroic and mighty Hanuma having a terrible prowess, killing those arrogant demons and being desirous of a combat with the other demons, again reached that archy door way itself.
