Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa 12th Sarga - 95

 जय श्रीराम!



 अयश्शङ्कुचितां रक्षः शतघ्नीमथ शत्रवे ।
हृतां वैवस्वतस्यैव कूटशाल्मलिमक्षिपत् ॥१२.९५॥  

Notes: Kālidāsa says, "Now Rāvaṇa hurled at Śrīrāma a mace studded with iron nails as fearsome as the proverbial weapon of thorns used by Yama in hell to torture the sinful, and it seemed as if Rāvaṇa had snatched it from him!".

जय श्रीराम!
