Lakshmana kills Athikaayudu

Athikaayudu took his bow and started talking to Lakshmana.Lakshmanaa!you are just a lad.You do not know anything about valor.I am like death.Why do you want to fight with me?Leave your bow and arrows and go away from this place.If you do not like my words accept my arrows.If you are strong enough save yourself from my arrows. Lakshmana replied him.hey vaachaalaa(one who blabbers)!does any warrior ondulge in useless talk?I am ready.Show me your strength if you can.You are full fledged with all kinds of weapons and in a chariot.You can use whatever arrows or weapons you want to use.After that,I would definitely kill you.Just as a ripe fruit falls to the ground,your head would roll on to the ground by me.Do not under estimate my power thinking that I am just a lad.Whether I am a boy or an aged person,I am going to be your death in this war.Was not Vishnu in the form of a boy when he measured all the three worlds in Thrivikramaavathaaram? Both had a severe fight.Vidyaadharaas,Sages,deities and demons came to see their fight.Both of them used what all the arrows they had with them.Each was destroying the arrow of the other effectively.Lakshmana released an arrow which hit Athikaayudu on his fore head and blood spilled.Athikaayudu praised Lakshmana.Then he rained many arrows on Lakshmana.Lakshmana warded off all those arrows succesfully.Athikaayudu released a powerful arrow which hit Lakshmana on his chest and blood oozed freely from that wound.Lakshmana took out that arrow from his body and released Aagneyaasthram.Athikaayudu released Souraasthram.Both burnt one another and fell down.Athikaayudu released Aishikaasthram and Lakshmana replied it with Aindraasthram.Athukaayudu released Yaamyaasthram and Lakshmana released Vaayavyaasthram.Lakshmana released so many arrows on Athikaayudu but they fell down his armour without injuring him.Then Vaayudeva whispered in the ears of Lakshmana that as Athikaayaas armour was given by Brahma as a boon and it can not be destroyed.It can only be destroyed by Brahmaasthram only.Lakshmana heeded Vaayudevaas advice and released Brahmaasthram.Dueto its effect,Sun and Moon trembled.Other planets were in the grip of fear.Earth shivered.Athikaayudu tried very much to nullify its effect but to no avail.He used Sakthi,maces,clubs,spears and many other weapons.They did not come to his rescue.They all became waste and useless.Lakshmanaas Brahmaasthram cut off Athikaayaas head along with his crown.His head fell to the ground.Demons ran into the. City of Lanka.Vaanaraas were very happy.Every one praised Lakshmana on his achievement.
