Chapter – 172– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Bala Kanda - Ravana captures the stunning fortresses on the peak of Chitrakoot
and the Pushpakavimana/flower chariot owned by Kubera
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, the
stunning fortress on the peak of Chithrakoot was surrounded by a vast ocean,
stood as a stronghold, unapproachable to enemies. The beauty of the fortresses
constructed with precious gem and gold was beyond description. This is the
fortress where the illustrious King of demons of different periods of time lived
with their army men and took great pleasure in the luxuries, which were preordained
by Lord Hari. These magnificent fortresses were occupied by the most powerful demon
Kings who were exterminated by deities in the battle. Previously, it was occupied
by Yaksha Lord Kubera with ten million army men, ordained by Lord Indra. Ravana
came to know about the splendor of this fortress, approached the Yakshas with
his multitudes of army men, defeated them, and took over the possession of the
fortress. Thus, Ravana confiscated the stunning Kingdom of Kubera, took a
detailed inspection of the magnificent city, immediately all his anxiousness
flew away. Shortly, Ravana with his entire clan moved to the glorious fortresses
which are inaccessible, declared as the capital city, the entire region of Lanka
was occupied by his men and ruled it as he desired. Later, Ravana came to know
about the marvelous Pushpakavimana/flower chariot of Kubera, made of ever-fresh
flowers of alluring with rich scent, competent to pick and drop at passenger’s mind
voice, and capable to minimize and maximize its size according to the number of
passengers. Ravana did not wait too long, conducted a chase with his army men
after Kubera, and confiscated that flower chariot too.”
Khayi Sindhu Gambheera Athi Charihu Dhisi
Phiri Aava | Kanaka Kot Manikhachitha Doond Barani Na Jayi Banava || Hari
Preritha Jehi Kalapa Joyi Jathudhanapathi Hoyi| Sura Prathapi Athulabala Dhala
Sametha Basa Soyi ||
Rahe Thaha Nisichara Bhat Bhare | The Sab
Suranha Samara Sandhare || Ab Thaha Rahahi Sakra Ke Prere | Racchaka Koti Jacchapathi Kere ||
Dhasamukha Kathahu Khabari Asi Payi| Sena Saji Gad Dheresi Jayi || Dhekhi Bikat
Bhat Badi Katkayi| Jaccha Jeeva Lai Gaye Parayi || Phiri Sab Nagara Dhasanan
Dhekha | Gayau Soch Sukha Bhayau Bisesha || Sundhara Sahaja Agama Anumani |
Keenhi Thaha Ravana Rajadhani || Jehi Jasa Joga Banti Griha Dheenhe | Sukhi
Sakala Rajanichara Keenhe || Yek Bar Kubera Par Dhava | Pushpaka Jana Jithi
Lai Aava ||
