When the sea did not, even when requested, allow a passage to Sri Rama, who was keen to cross it, nor did the sea-god care to appear in person before him. Sri Rama discharges fierce arrows which cause a stir among the creatures inhabiting the sea , and make the sea water overflow.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:55Translation: 06:01 - 14:42

Yuddha Kanda, Sarga 22 (Book 6 Canto 22)
