Sarg 99-Raam-Raavan Fight 

Raavan said to his Saarathee - "Take my chariot in the battlefield. Today I will take revenge of all killings. I will kill Raam and Lakshman along with their chief Vaanar." Saarathee took his chariot towards Raam. All directions echoed with the sound of Raavan's chariot. Seeing Raavan coming Vaanar ran away. Raam convinced His army to fight.

Raavan scattered all Vaanar army and looked at Raam and Lakshman. Seeing Raavan coming Raam produced sound from His bow, and Lakshman started showering arrows. Raavan stopped those arrows, ignored Lakshman and came to Raam. He shot arrows at Raam. Raam failed Raavan's arrows. Thus both started fighting. All got afraid to see this fight because it darkened all around. Both fought bravely and fiercely, because both were good warriors and fighters.

Raavan shot arrows at Raam's head. They covered Raam's head but didn't pierce his body. Then Raam shot five arrows at Raavan's head and piercing his head they entered Prithvi. Raavan got angry with these arrows so he used other weapons which also Raam failed. Seeing failing his weapons Raavan got angrier.

Sarg 100-Raavan Uses Amogh Power on Lakshman

Raavan used many weapons on Raam but Raam failed all of them with Devtaa's and Gandharv's weapons. At this Raavan shot 10 arrows at Raam's delicate body parts. Lakshman got very angry seeing this, so he cut the flag of Raavan's flag with seven arrows, killed his Saarathee and cut his bow. Vibheeshan killed his horses. Raavan shot a Power on Vibheeshan. Seeing that Power, Lakshman shot three arrows at it and destroyed it.

Raavan then used Amogh named Power on Vibheeshan, Lakshman hid Vibheeshan with his arrows and thus saved him. Raavan said to Lakshman - "You have saved my brother Vibheeshan from this Power, that is why now I will use this Power on you. This will surely kill you." And he released that Power on Lakshman. Seeing this Raam read - "May your Power go waste and Lakshman be all right." That Power hit Lakshman's chest and ripped off his chest and he fell down.

Seeing this Raam got very sad. He pulled out the Power from Lakshman's body and broke it in anger. Raam broke this Power because otherwise it would have returned to the sender (enemy) after killing. When Raam was busy with the Power, Raavan shot many arrows at Raam. Raam said to Sugreev and Hanumaan - "You take care of Lakshman. This is my time to show my bravery and might, and I promise that you will see this world either without me or without Raavan. I will take the revenge of whatever sorrows and troubles I have tolerated in forest because of him, today by killing him, therefore he cannot escape today. Hey Vaanar, now you sit on the mountain comfortably and see my fight."

Then Raam showered arrows on Raavan, Raavan showered Moosal (pestle). Raam again showered arrows. Seeing this Raavan ran away from the battlefield.

Sarg 101-Raam Weeps for Lakshman

Raam said to Sushen - "Hey Sushen, Because of the hit of the Power, Lakshman is bleeding a lot. I am worried about him. If Lakshman will not live what I will do of my life? I am getting weaker seeing Lakshman's condition. My bow is falling down. I am very much worried about Him." And Raam started weeping. 

He said again - "What I am going to do with my life? As he came with me to forest, I would also go with him to Swarg. He is my dear and follower. Raakshas has done this to him. One can get everything in the world but there is no place where you can get your brother. What I will tell to Maa Kaushalyaa and Maa Sumitraa; and what I will reply to Bharat and Shatrughn. I don't know what sin I have committed in my previous life because of which I have to see the death of my brother with my own eyes. Where are you Lakshman? I am crying for you, why don't you speak to me?"

Sushen consoled Raam and said - "Don't weep for him. He is not dead. His face is shining, His heart is palpitating." Then he said to Hanumaan - "You go on Mahodaya Parvat and there is a herb in south direction, bring it soon."

Hanumaan immediately went there and thought if I took any other herb then it might be wrong, so let me take the whole mountain." So he lifted the whole mountain and kept it near Sushen and said - "I could not recognize the herb that is why I have brought the whole mountain." Sushen admired Hanumaan for his this decision and let Lakshman smell the proper herb. Lakshman got up in a few moments. Raam got very happy to see Lakshman got up, He said - "Lakshman, it is so good to see you alive. Had you not got up, I would have also died." Lakshman said - "You should not break your vow because of me. You must get Seetaa after killing Raavan. Therefore please, kill Raavan on my request."
