Lakshman immediately after receiving the orders from Rama, cut off the nose and ears of Shoorpanakha effortlessly, in this way he has invited enmity of the mighty demon King Ravana that was predestined by Lord Sri Hari. Shoorpanakha was bleeding without nose and ears, resembled a huge mountain of red-colored water streaming down, she went sobbing to Khara and Dhooshana “Oh! Brothers, shame to your manhood and valor.” Khara and Dhooshana worriedly enquired about her pitiable state were described the whole incident that happened in the Panchavati. Soon Khara and Dhooshana gathered multitudes of the army of demons of dreadful appearance of mountain-sized, holding several vicious weapons, mounted on various vehicles procced to the Panchavati, on their way they found several inauspicious omens but did not get discouraged as if they were rushing to the mouth of death. The multitude of the army of demons was in extreme joy, rushed to the site cheering “Let us capture the two brothers, and kill them”, the sky was covered in the dust raised from their vehicles. Rama advised Lakshman to take Devi Janaki to the mountain cave, “Oh! Thatha, keep yourself and Devi Janaki safe, there are multitudes of the army of demons are approaching us.” Lakshman wielded in bow and arrow moved to the mountain cave with Devi Sita, when Rama saw the multitudes of demons approaching, he stretched the powerful bow aiming at them.
