English Translation
"Delighted charioteer drove the chariot of Ravana with speed. It was of the shape of the abode of Gandharvas, capable of destroying enemy's army. It had rows of excellent flags, richly endowed, like the best piece of artwork. It was fixed with flag posts in rows touching the sky and filling space. It was yoked to excellent horses adorned with gold chains and equipped with implements for war. The earth was resounding as it was driven as if to crush the enemy's army and its own army was happy.
Note: Ravana beholds evil portents over Lanka and his chariot indicating his fall. Rama alerts Matali to be on guard. Rama and Ravana fight facing each other releasing powerful arrows. Celestial bodies and sages watch the fight eager to see the end of Ravana."
