Ravana got the news of the death of the sons of Kumbhakarna. He could not control his tears. He sent for Makaraksha. Ravana asked him to kill Rama and avenge the death of his father, Khara.
Makaraksha said he would go and kill Rama and Lakshmana.
In his mind he was thinking that heroes like Kumbhakarna and Atikaya had fallen in battle. It was said that Rama was none other than Vishnu. If that was true, that dying in the hands oif Rama, he would attain heaven. Also Rama would not attack cows, so he decided to ride on a chariot driven by cows and bullocks. The chariot was covered by leather made from cow hide.
With instruments playing all around, Makaraksha climbed on the chariot with his weapons.
Makaraksha came face to face with Hanumana. Hanumana was in a dilemma. If he attacked the demon, he would end up killing the cows and bullocks.
Makaraksha shot arrows wounding many vanaras. The great vanaras were afraid to attack the demon because of the cattle. They asked Rama to intervene.
When Rama came, he was in a dilemma. Before he could react, the demon fired arrows at Rama. Rama then invoked the weapon that invoked the wind. The cattle and cattle skin all flew off in the great wind that was generated.
The vanaras then attacked with rocks and trees which the demon cut off. Nila and Sugriva were injured when they tried to fight the demon.
Rama then came and said I will soon kill you. Rama invoked a weapon that was cut by the demon. Makaraksha then shot an arrow that pierced Rama. Gathering force, Rama managed to cut off the bow of the demon. Makaraksha got another bow and resumed fighting. Rama was injured badly.
Rama thought - I had killed his father with a few arrows, but the rakshasa is much stronger than his father. Rama cut off the bow of the demon. The demon picked a spiked mace and started fighting. Rama cut off the mace. Makaraksha hurled his sheild at Rama who cut that off.
Angered, the demon came to fight Rama empty handed. With a crescent shaped arrow, Rama cut off the hands of Makaraksha. Rama then invoked the fire weapon and with that, he killed Makaraksha.
