During the battle between Ram and Ravana, Ram fires golden arrows at Ravana, which turn into serpents as they reach him. Although they cut off Ravanas heads, they grew back again. This fight continues for days till Matali, Ramas charioteer, suggests to Rama that he shoot the arrow of Brahma given by Agastya to kill Ravana. Rama then shoots this arrow which strikes Ravanas heart and kills him.
