The battle resumes -- Lavana hurls trees and fells Shatrughna senseless, but, thinking him dead, fails to fetch his trident -- recovering, Shatrughna takes up the divine arrow, whose blazing splendour terrifies all beings until Brahma reveals it to be Vishnu's own form -- Shatrughna looses it into Lavana's chest and slays him, the trident returns to Rudra, and the gods rejoice at the death of the world's terror.
