At daybreak the Lord of Ragus said to the sage, you may now go and perform your sacrifice without any fear of molestation,
All the sages then started offering oblations into the scared fire, while Rama himself guarded the sacrifice,
On hearing the furious demon Marica, a great enemy to hermits, rushed with his army,
Sri Rama struck him with a headless shaft and he fell at a distance of eight hundred miles beyond the sea shore,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
