Chapter - 21– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha introducing himself as the son of mighty Vali to Ravana

 

Angadha speaks “Oh! Ravan, the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra is Raghuvamsamani/precious jewel on the Raghu’s clan, he is the protector of the distressed Jeeva, if you take shelter at his lotus feet, he would forgive all your sins and protect you, in this way you can get rid of all your fear and anxiousness.” Ravana was infuriated and shrieked out “Oh! Little Vanara, mind your words, Oh! Fool, you are not aware of the risk of being a foe to the enemy of deities, Oh! Vanara, introduce me about yourself and your father, on what basis you are claiming that I had a close association with your father?” Angadha spoke amiably “Oh! Demon King, I am Angadha, son of mighty Vali of Kishkindha”. Ravana was perturbed listening to the reply of Angadha and spoke “Oh! You are Angadha, son of Vali, Yes I do remember your father a Vanara, why don’t you perish while you were in your mother’s womb? You know, you resemble wildfire in the cluster of bamboos like your clan. Your life has gone vain, being an emissary of a hermit. Now, tell me all is well with Vali and where is he?” Angadha laughed at Ravana and replied “Oh! Ravana, just count another few days, you will be in the abode of Vali to refresh your friendship with him and embrace him, he will describe his welfare, and also about keeping enmity to that Lord Sri Ramachandra. Oh! Dull-minded, whoever afar from the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra would burn in animosity, ego, fear, and pride, cannot achieve serenity of mind in their lives.”
