ततस्तमसि सञ्जाते सर्वे ते देवराक्षसाः । अयुद्ध्यन्त बलोन्मत्ताः सूदयन्तः परस्परम् ॥ 7-29-1 ॥

Then, when the darkness had set in, all those gods and rakshasas, frenzied with the lust of battle, went on fighting and slaughtering one another.

english translation

ततस्तु देवसैन्येन राक्षसानां बृहद्बलम् । दशांशं स्थापितं युद्धे शेषं नीतं यमक्षयम् ॥ 7-29-2 ॥

Then by the army of the gods a tenth part of the rakshasas' vast host was held in check in the battle, while the remainder was sent to the abode of Yama.

english translation

तस्मिंस्तु तामसे युद्धे सर्वे ते देवराक्षसाः । अन्योन्यं नाभ्यजानन्त युध्यमानाः परस्परम् ॥ 7-29-3 ॥

In that battle wrapped in darkness, all those gods and rakshasas, fighting one against another, could no longer recognize each other.

english translation

इन्द्रश्च रावणश्चैव रावणिश्च महाबलः । तस्मिंस्तमोजालवृते मोहमीयुर्न ते त्रयः ॥ 7-29-4 ॥

Indra, and Ravana, and the mighty son of Ravana — these three alone, in that field veiled by the net of darkness, did not fall into confusion.

english translation

स तु दृष्ट्वा बलं सर्वं रावणो निहतं क्षणात् । क्रोधमभ्यगमत्तीव्रं महानादं च मुक्तवान् ॥ 7-29-5 ॥

But Ravana, seeing his whole army slain in a moment, was overcome by fierce rage and let loose a great roar.
