Chapter – 22– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– An enemy, a childless woman, fire, sin, a master and a serpent should not be overlooked, they can cause great damage at any moment

Shoorpanakha wept bitterly and spoke “Oh! Brother, an enemy, a childless woman, fire, sin, a master, and a serpent should not be overlooked, they can cause great damage at any moment.” In deep distress she fallen before the assembly, lamenting over the damage caused to her, and shrieked in agony “Oh! Dhashanan/my ten-headed brother, I have disfigured by the youths in the wood while you are alive.” Dhashanan rose from the throne abruptly, approached Shoorpanakha and gave a hand to her, and spoke “Oh! Dear sister, who disfigured you? Who has the courage to cut your nose and ears? What happened in the woods?” Shoorpanakha began to speak in tears “Oh! Brother, there are two charming youths, the sons of King Dhasharatha, King of Ayodhya, who arrived in the woods for the expedition. They resemble lions among men, they are extremely valorous and courageous capable to obliterate the entire demon clan from the Earth. Oh! Ten-headed Ravan, you know the Sages, Rishis, and inhabitants in the woods are free from fear, they are happily moving all over the woods. The two youths are charming, skilled archers, and they have possessed immense might, resemble death to me. These two brothers are terrible as death, possessed immense might and glory, they have taken a vow to destroy the wicked and deceitful on the Earth, they are determined and they are benevolent to deities and Sages. The elder one is Rama who is the epitome of beauty, he has a beautiful woman by his side, the creator has invested all his skills to create this woman who is the embodiment of virtue and beauty, excels the beauty of crores of Devi Rathi. It was Lakshman, the younger brother of Rama chopped off my ears and nose, after knowing me as your sister. Khara and Dhooshana accompanied by fourteen thousand demons to fight against Rama were killed mercilessly.” Ravana could not control his rage after listening to the death of Khara, Dhooshana, and Thrishiras.
