Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa 12th Sarga - 92

 जय श्रीराम!




वचसैव तयोर्वाक्यम् अस्त्रमस्त्रेण निघ्नतोः ।
अन्योन्यजयसंर्म्भो ववृधे वादिनोरिव ॥१२.९२॥ 

Notes: Kālidāsa says, "The battle continued between these two equally formidable combatants who were destroying each other's weapons with their own in a way like a debate would simply keep escalating  between two disputants endlessly by their matched abilities."

So even after piercing his heart with his arrow, Śrīrāma found that Rāvaṇa was not terminated and continued to fight with undiminished vigour.
