स वार्यमाणो यक्षेण प्रविवेश निशाचरः । यदा तु वारितो राम न व्यतिष्ठत्स राक्षसः ॥ 7-14-26 ॥
Though held back by the Yaksha, the night-ranger pressed on within; and when he was barred, O Rama, that Rakshasa would not desist.
english translation
ततस्तोरणमुत्पाट्य तेन यक्षेण ताडितः । रुधिरं प्रस्रवन्भाति शैलो धातुस्रवैरिव ॥ 7-14-27 ॥
Then that Yaksha, tearing up the archway, struck him with it; and Ravana, streaming with blood, shone like a mountain flowing with mineral ore.
english translation
स शैलशिखराभेण तोरणेन समाहतः । जगाम न क्षतिं वीरो वरदानात्स्वयम्भुवः ॥ 7-14-28 ॥
Though smitten by that archway, which resembled a mountain peak, the hero took no injury, by virtue of the boon granted by the self-existent Brahma.
english translation
तेनैव तोरणेनाथ यक्षस्तेनाभिताडितः । नादृश्यत तदा यक्षो भस्मीकृततनुस्तदा ॥ 7-14-29 ॥
Then, struck back by Ravana with that very archway, the Yaksha could no longer be seen, his body reduced in that moment to ashes.
english translation
ततः प्रदुद्रुवुः सर्वे दृष्ट्वा रक्षःपराक्रमम् । ततो नदीर्गुहाश्चैव विविशुर्भयपीडिताः । त्यक्तप्रहरणाः श्रान्ता विवर्णवदनास्तदा ॥ 7-14-30 ॥
Then all of them, beholding the prowess of the Rakshasa, fled away; and tormented by fear, weary, their weapons cast aside and their faces pale, they took refuge in rivers and caves.
