Dohira
From the army of devils, one devil sprung out,
Who annihilated the chariot of Dasrath and threw numerous arrows on him.(15)
Chaupaee
Bharta’s mother (Kaikaee), when heard that the chariot of the Raja had been destroyed,
She disguised herself, dressed herselfas the Raja’s chariot-driver, and took over.(16)
She drove the chariot in such a way that, she would not let enemy arrow hit Raja.
Wherever Raja wanted to go, the lady took him there.(17)
She chastened the horses so forcefully that she killed any raja that came on her way.
Although the dust created-storm thickened bUt the raja’s sword spread like lightening.(18)
It was a dreadful war as, on all sides, brave warriors were swarming.
In the prevailing fights, even pious ones were cut and only (the poet) (19)
