Rhyme Scheme: AB AA CC DD EE FF GG HI JJ KL MM DD CC NN J

Gods and mortals watched the contest and the heroes of the warA
Ravan speeding on his chariot Rama on the heavenly carB
-
And a fiercer form the warriors in their fiery frenzy woreA
And a deeper weight of hatred on their anguished bosoms boreA
-
Clouds of dread and deathful arrows hid the radiant face of skyC
Darker grew the day of combat fiercer grew the contest highC
-
Pierced by Ravan's pointed weapons bleeding Rama owned no painD
Rama's arrows keen and piercing sought his foeman's life in vainD
-
Long and dubious battle lasted and with fury wilder fraughtE
Wounded faint and still unyielding blind with wrath the rivals foughtE
-
Pike and Club and mace and trident scaped from Ravan's vengeful handF
Spear and arrows Rama wielded and his bright and flaming brandF
-
Long and dubious battle lasted shook the ocean hill and daleG
Winds were hushed in voiceless terror and the livid sun was paleG
-
Still the dubious battle lasted until Rama in his ireH
Wielded BRAHMA'S deathful weapon flaming with celestial fireI
-
Weapon which the Saint Agastya had unto the hero givenJ
Winged as lightning dart of INDRA fatal as the bolt of heavenJ
-
Wrapped in smoke and flaming flashes speeding from the circled bowK
Pierced the iron heart of Ravan lain the lifeless hero lowL
-
And a cry of pain and terror from the Raksha ranks aroseM
And a shout from joying Vanars as they smote their fleeing foesM
-
Heavenly flowers in rain descended on the red and gory plainD
And from unseen harps and timbrels rose a soft celestial strainD
-
And the ocean heaved in gladness brighter shone the sunlit skyC
Soft and cool the gentle zephyrs through the forest murmured byC
-
Sweetest scent and fragrant odours wafted from celestial treesN
Fell upon the earth and ocean rode upon the laden breezeN
-
Voice of blessing from the bright sky fell on Raghu's valiant sonJ
'Champion of the true and righteous now thy noble task is done '-
