c15.9

Having slain in an instant, at the head of a battle, an immense army, despatched by the lord of Lankā, which teemed with brave soldiers (and) was interspersed with troops of elephants and horses, he bears in the world the title Saṅgrāma Rāghava (i.e., Rāma in battle) which is full of meaning.
