Yama himself takes the field, Death and the staff of Time at his side, and battles Ravana for seven nights
Full sarga summary
Yama himself takes the field, Death and the staff of Time at his side, and battles Ravana for seven nights -- as he lifts his unfailing rod to slay him, Brahma appears and forbids it, for the rod's fall would falsify the boon protecting Ravana -- Yama withdraws and vanishes, and Ravana proclaims his victory and departs.
