Image title
Three of Rāvaṇa's chief generals (Dhūmrāká¹£a, Akampana, Vajradaṃṣṭra) having already been slain in combat in the field, Prahasta, the chief of Rāvaṇa's army, sets out in his chariot surrounded by his army ('like a herd of elephants', here interpreted literally). Ill-omens attend him. A vulture perches on his battle standard which contains the sun, then a cloud showers blood upon him and finally the pole of his standard breaks. The monkey chief Nīla first attacks him with a tree and then crushes him with a rock. Nīla is congratulated by the allies, while Rāvaṇa, seen here at the jharokhā window of his palace, and the demons are sunk in gloom.
