English Meaning

Trisiras cut off that tree in pieces by means of shafts resembling serpents. And seeing the tree severed, Angada darted up; and then that foremost of monkeys showered crags and trees. And all those Triſiras wrought with wrath cut off by means of whetted arrows; and Mahodara snapped those trees with the end of his bludgeon. And then Trisiras rushed against that hero-Valr's son-with shafts; and Mahodara chased him, mounted own an elephant; and struck Angada in the chest with Tomaras resembling the thunder-bolt. 1. The text has Angada avoided for euphony. 2. The text has Vali's son.
