Bajradanstra

Ravana was worried hearing the news of Akampana. He sent for Bajradanstra and asked him to get ready for war. He got ready and came to Ravana for his blessings. Getting the best of the weapons with him, Bajradanstra left for the battle. Following him was a large army of elephants. On the way, he saw many ill omens. He saw blazing comets in the sky and tears in the eyes of the horses drawing his chariot.
He spoke to his army - Ignore the omens. Lookout for my strength and valor in the battle today. You will forget about the omens. I am not known as Bajradanstra for nothing. I have teeth like thunder bolts. I will eat Sugriva, Rama and Lakshmana.

The battle began. Trees, rocks and arrows covered the sky. Sugriva seeing chaos in the army went to face the demon. Throwing a huge rock, Sugriva broke the chariot of the demon. Uprooting a tree, he then smashed the demon's head.

Seeing the demon fall, his army started fleeing.

Ravana got the news of the fall of Bajradanstra.
