जय श्रीराम!
कृतप्रतिकृतप्रीतैस्तयोर्मुक्तां सुरासुरैः ।
परस्परशरव्रातः पुष्पवृष्टिं न सेहिरे ॥१२.९४॥
Notes: Kālidāsa says, "Just as the two adversaries were fighting fiercely, i.e. Śrīrāma and Rāvaṇa, they also had their partisan cheerleaders among gods and demons in competition. The gods were showering flowers on their hero Śrīrāma for his prowess, but the flowers were intercepted by the flying missiles from Rāvaṇa. Similarly, the flowers being showered on Rāvaṇa by the demons were dispelled by the arrows filling the air as they emanated from Śrīrāma̍s bow". It was a melee of flying objects indeed!
