Overview

After Cikshura falls, Camara advances on an elephant. Ambika defeats his spear with a vocal exclamation and breaks his pike with arrows. Her lion leaps onto the elephant and grapples with Camara; both fighters fall to the ground. The lion then leaps up and kills him with a descending blow of its paw.
