Fight started. Vanaras with rocks and trees and Tarani using his arrows. So powerful was his war that the vanaras started fleeing.
Rama asked Vibhishana who was this who was coming? Vibhishana cleverly said, This was a relative of Ravana, a very pious and learned person.
Tarani wanted to catch a glimpse of Rama. He was anxious to see Rama and his father. How much longer would he have to wait? He fought as much as he could, driving the vanaras away, trying to reach Rama.
On his way, he was stopped by Nila. Tarani said Please let me go and see Rama and Lakshmana.
Nila said How will you go, when I kill you with a blow from the mountain.
The vanaras standing around laughed. They said first Makaraksha came with a chariot of cows and now was coming one, who had name of Rama written all over. What would the rakshasas think of next?
Nila uprooted a tree and tried to bring that over Tarani's head, but Tarani caught that with one hand and threw it down. Nila then got a mountain and tried to kill Tarani with that, but Tarani smashed the mountain with his mace. With an arrow, Taranisen wounded Nila.
Hanumana then climbed up on the chariot of Tarani and snatched the whip from the hands of the charioteer. Tarani gave one hard slap and Hanumana fell down. Hanumana climbed up on the chariot once again and Tarani and Hanumana began fighting. Tarani once again flung Hanumana from the chariot.
Angada then came to fight. The rocks, boulders and mountains hurled by Angada were all cut off by sharp arrows of Tarani. Angada killed the horses drawing the chariot. The charioteer quickly got more horses to draw the chariot. Tarani struck Angada on his chest with heavy iron mace and Angada fell on the ground.
Other vanaras came and started hurling rocks and mountains and it looked as if it was raining rocks. Tarani, adept at using weapons, cut off everything that was thrown at him.
Suseshan and Sugriva who came to fight Tarani could also not withstand his arrows.
Driving his chariot Tarani then came where Rama was. Rama and Lakshmana were surrounded by Vibhishana on the left and Jambuvana on the right. Tarani quickly and quietly bowed down before Vibhishana. Getting down from his chariot, he then bowed down before Rama.
Vibhishana said to Rama - Look, the enemy is bowing down.
Rama said - Enemy was here to do battle. Why should he then come and bow down before me?
Vibhishana said This is a big devotee of yours.He worships you. He has come because his king told him to come.
Rama said If that was the case, then he should be given what he wants.
Lakshmana said - That would be disastrous as he would ask for the victory of Ravana.
Rama said - You need to understand the heart of the devotee.
