Ravan now had no choice but to fight Shri Ram himself.

"Karacharana Krtam Vaakkaayajam Karmajam Vaa,
Shravananayanajam Vaa Maanasam Vaaparaadham,
Vihitamavihitam Vaa Sarvametatkshamasva,
Jaya Jaya Karunaabdhe Shri Mahaadeva Shambho." Ravan chanted in front of the huge idol of Rudra-Mahadev.

(O God, kindly pardon my incorrect actions done consciously or unconsciously, either through my organs of action (hand, feet, and speech) or through my organs of perception (eyes, ears) or by my mind. Hail Mahadev who is the ocean of kindness)

There on the other side Shri Ram was also worshipping Mahadev.

"Om namah Shivaye." He kept chanting offering flowers to the shivling.

Today was not just the fight between Ram and Ravan, it was also the fight between two Shiv-bhakts. The fight that will take place today will be decisive of everyone's fate.

Here from Lanka Ravan got on his Rath, and was flying over the entire battle field shooting arrows and blasting everything.

"JALA KE BHASM KAR DUNGA SABHI KO !" Ravan roared.

Aahana-Aarashi, Angad and Laxmab looked at Ravan with shock, they didn't knew how to counter him today.

"Ise nahi roka toh humari sampoorn sena bhasm ho jayegi." Angad said.

"Kintu ise rokega kaun ?" Aarashi asked.

Suddenly two figures zoomed passed their peripheral vision. They turned their heads and saw Shri Ram on top of Hanuman ji, flying towards Ravan.

"Aisa lag raha hai ki Garud par swayam Bhagwan Vishnu baithe hai." Aahana said.

"Satya-vachan." Laxman said.

Shri Ram shot an arrow at Ravan's Sarthi killing him and Hanuman ji punched the rath, breaking it.

The flying Rath fell on the ground as it blasted, but Ravan survived as he got out of there. Everyone stopped fighting seeing both Ram and Ravan standing against each other.

"Lanka ke vasiyo dekhlo ! Aaj tumhara Raja jo tumhare liye Ishwarya-shaktiyo ka pratik hai, kaise harta hai ek sadharan manushya se." Shri Ram said.

"Ram ! Itna ahankar kaha se agaya tum mai ?" Ravan asked summoning his bow and arrow.

Ravan shot an arrow towards Shri Ram but he countered it. Both engaged in a furious battle of life and death, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous. 

The battle between the two Maharathis was fierce and ferocious. All the beings in the world were frightened due to the fight between Ram and Ravan. The sky was covered due to the several hundred and thousands of arrows released from the bows of both warriors.

Both the Maharathis invoked several divine astras but none worked on the opposite. But Shri Ram got an opportunity and he beheaded Ravan, the vanars started cheering but their happiness was short lived as suddenly another head of Ravan grew from his body.

Shri Ram again shot an arrow beheading Ravan again, thinking this time he will surely die but he again became alive as another head grew out of his body.

Ravan grew extremely large in size as he showed his true form with ten heads and ten hands.

Ravan and Ram again engaged into battle, shooting missiles, and divine astras at each other. Seeing that their fight was having no end, Vibhishan decided to intervene.

"SHRI RAM ! RAVAN KI NABHI MAI AMRIT HAI, USS PAR PRAHAR KIJIYE !" Vibhishan said.

"VIBHISHAN !!" Ravan roared shooting an arrow at him but luckily Laxman countered it.

"Nahi kar sakta Vibhishan, chhati ke niche teer marna yudh ke niyamo ke virudh hai." Shri Ram said as he and Ravan again engaged in the fight.

"Hanuman ji, yeh yudh sadiyo tak chalega yadi Ravan ke nabhi ka Amrit Kalash nahi tuta." Vibhishan said.

Hanuman ji nodded as he joined his hands and closed his eyes, praying to Pawandev. Ravan laughed at Ram who was finding it difficult to kill him even when knowing how to.

Shri Ram shot another arrow to behead Ravan but the gust of extremely strong winds came and changed the direction of the arrow. The arrow was lowered and it hit Ravan's navel.

Ravan screamed in pain as he took few steps back, Shri Ram looked at Hanuman, knowing full well what he had done.

"Teer mariye prabhu !" Hanuman ji said.

Shri Ram nodded and quickly shot an arrow at Ravan's chest, piercing his heart. Ravan fell behind, wincing in agony.

"JAI SHRI RAM !" The Vanars cheered.

A/N

FUN FACT : HANUMAN JI ACTUALLY PRAYED TO PAWANDEV TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF SHRI RAM'S ARROW. THIS IS THE RULE OF WAR THAT ONE CANNOT SHOOT AN ARROW BELOW THE CHEST. BUT SHRI RAM KILLED RAVAN BY SHOOTING AN ARROW AT HIS HEART, SO IT WAS ALL ACCORDING TO RULES.
