Sarg 97 - Sugreev Kills Mahodar 

Many Vaanar and many Raakshas were killed in this fight, so both armies fell weak. Raavan got furious after his army and Viroopaaksh were killed. He said to Mahodar - "Mahodar, Now my victory is in your hand. Today you show your all bravery and kill as many Vaanar as you can. This is the time to repay your Swaamee for his favors." Mahodar entered the enemy's army and started killing them. He fought so fiercely that Vaanar started running here and there.

Sugreev came to rescue Vaanar. Mahodar was very brave and mighty. Both fought very fiercely. When Sugreev attacked with any tree or rock, Mahodar broke it with his arrows. Once Sugreev found a weapon Parigh lying on the ground, he picked it up and hit Mahodar's horses with it. Mahodar had to come down from the chariot and picked Gadaa to fight. He broke Sugreev's Parigh from his Gadaa's hits. Then Sugreev picked an iron Moosal which was decorated with gold. Both used their Gadaa and Moosal. Gadaa and Moosal crashed together and broke.

Now they started fighting with hands and fists. Both looked like Agni. When they got tired, they picked up swords from nearby and started fighting with them. Once Mahodar hit Sugreev's armor with his sword. When he was pulling it towards himself, Sugreev immediately cut his head. His body fell down and seeing this all Raakshas army ran away. they were all very sad.

Raam, Sugreev and Vaanar were very happy.

Sarg 98 - Angad Kills Mahaapaarshwa

Seeing Mahodar killed by Sugreev, Mahaapaarshwa's eyes got red with anger. He started killing Angad's army with his terrible sharp arrows. Their heads were falling on the ground as ripen fruits fall on the ground from trees. Many Vaanar fainted, many Vaanar ran away by the shower of his arrows.

Seeing this Angad came forward. He picked up a Parigh and attacked Mahaapaarshwa. Mahaapaarshwa fell unconscious along with his Saarathee. In the mentime, Jaambvaan came carrying a huge rock and dropped it on his horses. Horses were instantly killed and the chariot was broken.

Mahaapaarshwa soon got up and shot arrows at Angad, three arrows at Jaambvaan's chest and many arrows at Gavaaksh. Then Angad picked Parigh and threw it on Mahaapaarshwa. It dropped his bow and arrow and came back to Angad. Mahaapaarshwa picked Paraswagh and used it on Angad, but Angad failed it. Then Angad his his chest with his fist. That fist ripped off Mahaapaarshwa's heart and he died. Seeing him falling down, his army scattered. Now Raavan was completely out of mind. Sound of joy by Vaanar made him angrier and angrier and now he himself came to battlefield to fight .
