Khara became agitated after hearing Rāma’s words of heroism. Because he had no weapons, in anger he threw a tree at Him but Lord Rāmacandra cut down that tree. When Khara’s body was pierced by Śrī Rāma’s arrows, blood oozed profusely out of his body and he quickly tried to jump over Rāma. Out of disgust, Śrī Rāma retreated a bit and shot an arrow at Khara’s chest, thus killing him. Celestial sages and others then showered flowers on Rāma and glorified Him. Sītā-devī came out of the cave with Lakṣmaṇa and happily embraced Him when He entered His āśrama.
