The Slaying of Dhumraksha*
Loud in their gladness and their lust of fight Shouted the forest-host when they beheld The dreadful Rakshas coming forth to war, Dhumraksha; loud the noise of mellay clashed, Giants and Apes with tree and spear and mace Smiting their foemen. For the Giants hewed Their dread opponents earthward everywhere, And they too with the trunks of trees bore down Their monstrous foes and levelled with the dust.
