Scene 97Visible text1 paragraph
[I omit Cantos XCVII, XCVIII, and XCIX, which describe in the usual way three single combats between Sugriva and Angad on the Vanar side and Virupaksha, Mahodar, and Mahaparsva on the side of the giants. The weapons of the Vanars are trees and rocks; the giants fight with swords, axes, and bows and arrows. The details are generally the same as those of preceding duels. The giants fall, one in each Canto].
