स मातलिं समायान्तं ताडयित्वा शरोत्तमैः । महेन्द्रं बाणवर्षेण भूय एवाभ्यवाकिरत् ॥ 7-29-26 ॥

Striking Matali, who was approaching, with his finest arrows, he once again overwhelmed Mahendra with a downpour of shafts.

ततस्त्यक्त्वा रथं शक्रो विससर्ज च सारथिम् । ऐरावतं समारुह्य मृगयामास रावणिम् ॥ 7-29-27 ॥

Then Shakra, abandoning his chariot and dismissing his charioteer, mounted Airavata and went searching for Ravani.

स तत्र मायाबलवानदृश्यो ऽथान्तरिक्षगः । इन्द्रं मायापरिक्षिप्तं कृत्वा स प्राद्रवच्छरैः ॥ 7-29-28 ॥

There that one, strong in magic, moving through the air and become invisible, having enveloped Indra in his illusion, rushed upon him with his arrows.

स तं यदा परिश्रान्तमिन्द्रं जज्ञे ऽथ रावणिः । तदैनं मायया बद्ध्वा स्वसैन्यमभितो ऽनयत् ॥ 7-29-29 ॥

When Ravani perceived that Indra was exhausted, then, binding him fast by his magic, he carried him off to his own army.

तं तु दृष्ट्वा बलात्तेन नीयमानं महारणात् । महेन्द्रममराः सर्वे किं नु स्यादित्यचिन्तयन् ॥ 7-29-30 ॥

Seeing Mahendra being borne away by force from that great battle, all the immortals wondered, "What can this be?"
