Chapter - 94– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Vibheeshana’s fight against Ravana

 

While the Vanaras and bears watching the severed heads of Ravana were flying on the air shrieking “Where is Rama?” the Jewel of Raghu’s clan shot several arrows on the severed heads, the Kalikas, female attendants of Devi Durga holding skulls on their hands, bathed on the pool of blood, and proceed to the battlefield, like the pious take dip in holy water and proceed to worship the Banyan tree. The ten-headed demon hurled a powerful spear aiming on the chest of Vibheeshana, as the spear was approaching Vibheeshana like Lord of death, the compassionate Lord thought, “I have promised to protect the Jeeva who have taken shelter in me. I can’t leave Vibheeshana to die.” Soon the Lord pushed Vibheeshana behind him, the spear struck hard on Rama and lost his consciousness for a while, although it was a part of the amusement, the deities were alarmed at this sight.  Vibheeshana saw the compassionate Lord was severely injured with the spear, he took the spear and rushed to Ravana, and shrieked at him contemptuously “Oh! Fool, you pathetic creature, you have earned hostility against the deities, Nagas, humans, and sages, you have pleased Lord Shambhu and achieved several boons in return, you have offered your heads on the fire sacrifice and received immense boons that made you stay long, now your death is impending, are you seeking happiness after keeping hostility towards Lord Sri Ramachandra?” saying so Vibheeshan hit the spear on the chest of Ravana.
