Chapter – 10 – Lanka Kandam
Hanuman and Angadha chased
their enemies, crushed them to death, sieved off their heads, and those were
fallen before Ravana, like several broken mud pots of curds. They brutally
attacked the demons approached, and tossed them at the lotus feet of Prabhu,
and Vibheeshna introduces the names of the demons to Prabhu. The compassionate Lord send that demon to his
abode, thus the wicked and cruel demons who consume human meat attained the
Paramagathi, like the Yogi and ascetics.
Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh!
Uma, the supreme Lord Rama is extremely compassionate and kind to Jeeva, he is
Kripanidhi, he offers Paramagathi even to his enemies. Oh! Bhavani, Is there
any deity benevolent than Rama? Even after listening to his kindness and
affection, Jeeva is not willing to take shelter in him, they are soaked in
worldly matters and bondage, and undergo extreme agony and sufferings are
dull-minded and unfortunate. Ayodhyapathi understood Hanuman and Angadha
entered in the palace of Ravana, these two Vanaras resembled Mandhara Parvatha,
destroyed the fortress of Lanka. They fought with the demons till the hours of
sunset, finally, at the end of the day, they returned to Prabhu, and prostrated
before him. Raghupathi highly pleased with Hanuman and Angadha, showered his
grace upon them, instantly they both got relieved from the exhaustion of long
day battle. The army Vanaras and bears in the city came to know that Angadha
and Hanuman returned to Prabhu, eventually they also returned to the woods.”
It was during the night;
the demons regained their strength and went to meet Dhashanan. The demons whose
strength multiplies in the night went in search to fight against the Vanaras
and bears, once again a fierce battle has begun, in this way the two powerful
enemies continued to battle for long hours. These demons were dark in colors, huge
in size, had great strength, and extremely valorous in the war field. The Vanaras
were fierce and had different colors, these two enemies had equal strength
and were experts in the war field. The leaders of the demons Akambana and Athikaya
found their warriors are failing, soon they have utilized illusionary powers to
fight against Vanaras who terrified the sudden darkness engulfed the field of
battle, created huge chaos.
Raghunatha understood the
reason for the sudden darkness, called for Hanuman and Angadha, and made them
understand the situation and given instructions to tackle them. These two
Vanaras returned to battlefield viciously, Prabhu smiled to himself and shot
Agneyasthra. Alas! There was sudden brilliance spread all over the battlefield like the wisdom removes the ignorance, the brilliant rays of sun removes the
darkness. The Vanaras and bears felt extremely happy and enthusiastically flee
to different directions to attack the demons. Hanuman and Angadha produced
deafening voices that created trepidations among the demons; they started to
flee from the battlefield. But the Vanaras did not leave them, caught them and
thrashed them on the floor, pulled their legs, and heave them to the ocean,
eventually, they have become a feast for the aquatic animals. In this battle some
of them were killed, some were brutally wounded, and some of them took shelter
on the dome of the fortress, in this way the Vanaras and bears attacked the
army of Ravana.
It was too dark in the
night, all those four armies of Vanaras and bears returned to Suvela Parvatham.
They prostrated before Kosalaraja, soon they have regained their strength with
the grace of Kripalu. Ravana called for an urgent meeting of ministers and
informed “The Vanaras and bears destroyed half of our warriors, what should we
do?” Soon Malyavan, who is an elderly minister and maternal uncle of Ravana
spoke “Oh! Son, listen to my promising words, the moment you have abducted Devi
Sita and brought her to Lanka, we are facing too many troubles and witnessing
several band omens, it is beyond description.
It is impossible to attain peace and serenity in their lives who oppose
that supreme Lord Rama who is eulogized by Veda and Vedanta. He is Kripalu who
has incarnated as Rama on the Earth, killed Hiranyaksha, Hiranyakashipu, and
Madhukaitaba, like powerful demons. He is Badavagni/Kalaroopi to the wicked
demons, he is the storehouse of virtues, he symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, he is
worshiped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Mahadeva and deities, and hence no one will keep
enmity against that Supreme Lord Rama. Therefore leave your enmity against
Rama, and return Devi Vaidhehi with all respects, and take shelter at the lotus
feet of Prabhu who is Kripanidhi.” All these words of Neethishashtra shot like
powerful arrows in the heart of Ravana, spoke angrily “Oh! The unfortunate one, I
do not want to see your face, get out of my palace immediately. If you were not
aged, I would have killed you, remember one thing, you should not come in front
of my eyes.” Malyavan moved out of the assembly thinking that “He would get
killed in the hands of Prabhu in no time.”
Meghanatha haughtily spoke “Watch everyone; you will see my valor
tomorrow morning. I have decided and I am certain that, I will definitely
achieve fruitful results tomorrow.” Ravana regained his confidence from the
words of Meghanatha, he took Meghanatha on his lap and showered love. They
continued to discuss about the war tricks; eventually, the daylight has
arrived. Vanaras began to attack the huge palace door from the four directions;
they surrounded the fortress, created huge chaos in the city. The demons
appeared in various fierce weapons, pulled out hills, and heaved on the Vanaras
and bears.
