Full sarga summary
Malyavan turns back to reproach Vishnu for slaying those who flee, and the two duel with spear and mace until Garuda's wing-wind drives him off -- their leaders slain, the rakshasas abandon Lanka and flee with their wives to Patala -- Agastya declares these Pulastya-line rakshasas mightier than Ravana and hails Rama as the eternal Narayana who incarnates to uphold dharma -- meanwhile Kubera comes to dwell in Lanka.
