  The 104th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 *********************************************
 DhOrdhaNda-vikramAya Nama:

 One who is of invincible valour.

 He is Omnipotent .He is sarva sakthan. No one can and has defeated Him in battles . Single handedly , He destroyed 14,000 rakshasAs at JanasthAnam during His RaamAvathAram . In Yaaga SamrakshaNam on behalf of  Sage VisvAmithrA at SiddhAsramam , in destroying the foul Taatakai, Indhrajith , KumbhakarNan and RaavaNa , He displayed such a valour that  could not be matched by any God.

 The destruction of RaavaNan  is saluted by  SrImad BhAgavathamthis  way:

 Rakshapathi: svaBalanashtim avEkshyarushta
 aaruhya yAnamaTApi sasaara Raamam
 sva syandhanE dhyumathi MathalinOpaneethE
 VibhrAjamAnamahananisithai: kshuraprai:
 yEvam kshipandhanushi sannidhimuthsasarja
 BhANam cha vajramiva tadhhrudhayam BhibhEtha
 sOasrugvaman-dsamukhairanyapadhath vimAnAth
 haahEthi jalpathi janE sukrutheeva riktha:

 --SrImad BhAgavatham: 9.10.21 and 23

 (Meaning): RaavaNaa , the king of Raakshasaas was angered over the sight of the destruction of his Moola Bala sainyam (army of elite) and got on to his chariot to fight Raamachandran .There in the battle field , he saw Raama seated on a shining chariot of Indhra driven by Maathali , the charioteer of Indhra . RaavaNa hit Raama with sharp arrows named Kshupram. Raama in return listed the trespasses of RaavaNa and hit him with the BrahmAsthram and tore his heart . As the watching  assembly of people shouting "haa haa, what a heroism " , RaavaNan fell on the earth like the ones falling from Svargam after puNyams have been expended.
