Khara and Dushana killed

Surpanakha saw the fourteen warriors being killed and reported the same back to her brothers.
Khara asked her not to worry. He said he would end up destroying those who had hurt her.

Khara got his chariot prepaed. He selected fourteen thousand warriors to accompany him. Taking the choicest weapons, he set forth for battle. Dushana went along.

Seeing Khara come, Rama asked Lakshmana to take Sita off to a safe spot and be with her. Lakshmana did the same instantly, and finding a cave, kept her inside that.

The Gods and other celestial beings came out to see this fight, of Rama alone with the fourteen thousand rakshashas.

Dushana called out to Rama and said You are a mere mortal and you dare fight with me.

The rakshashas surrounded Rama and it looked a pack of jackals had surrounded a lion.

Khara, on his chariot driven by eight horses, drove where Rama was. He picked a weapon and hurled it at Rama, who cut it off.
Each started shooting arrows at the other, Rama on the ground and Khara on his chariot. The arrows made both wounded and both were bleeding but still fighting away.

Taking a bunch of arrows, Rama shot them towards the rakshashas. A thousand rakshashas fell. Rama then invoked the Gandharva astra and shot that. Each rakshasha found himself fighting with a replica of himself and soon all the rakshashas were dead. All except Khara and Dushana.

Dushana picked up a deadly spear. Rama seeing that, shot an arrow. The arrow struck the spear and fell. Dushana had a boon that no one would be able to cut off the spear.

Wondering what to do, Rama finally cut off Dushana's hands and along with that, the spear also fell. Burining in pain, Dushana fainted and eventually died.

Khara was shocked and angry to see his brother die. A fight started among Khara and Rama.

Khara started shouting at Rama and shot arrows at him. Seeing Rama evade those, he asked Rama to prove his might. Rama said he had a celestial bow and a quiver which was inexhaustible. He would use these to end Khara.

Rama cut off Khara's bow. Khara picked up another bow and started shooting arrows at Rama. The sky was covered with arrows flying around. Khara managed to cut off the bow of Rama. Rama then remembered the bow given to him by Agastya.

Rama cut off Khara's bow. He then cut off the flag staff on his chariot. Soon the charioteer was also dead. With an arow Rama then killed the horses driving the chariot.

Khara picked up a flaming mace and hurled that at Rama. The fire from the mace was so strong that when it passed close to a tree, the entire tree burnt down.Rama shot an arrow but nothing happened to the mace. Rama then invoked the fire weapon and hurled that. The mace was broken.

When Khara was wondering what to do next, Rama shot a few arrows and wounded Khara. Khara then seeing nothing in hand, rushed at Rama to eat him up. Rama then released an arrow which struck Khara. Khara fell.

The Gods then appeared before Rama and said they were impressed by Rama's feat.

Rama then went where Lakshmana and Sita were. Seeing Rama wounded, Sita started crying and started cursing Kaikeyi for being the cause of all this.
