Chapter - 18– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka
Kanda – Angadha arrived in the palace of Ravana, engaged in a fight with Prahastha
Angadha bowed before Lord Sri Ramachandra,
he prostrated at the lotus feet of the Lord, and immersed in various thoughts “The
supreme Lord Rama is the ocean of virtues, he is supreme Lord and all his tasks
can be accomplished by himself, even though he showered his compassionate grace
upon me, assigned me as his emissary to meet Ravana.” The mere thought of it
transported him to a state of ecstasy. Angadha repeatedly prostrated at the lotus
feet of Rama contemplating upon the Lord left the assembly. The mighty son of
Vali, who is extremely valorous in the war field, fearless by nature cherishing
the might of supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra proceeded to Lanka. As soon as he
entered the city of Lanka, Angadha met Prahastha, the son of Ravana who was engaged
in passionate sport on the patio. The conversation between the two ended up in
clash, both had immense might, and were youthful. Prahastha raised his feet to kick
Angadha was pulled down by his leg, swirling around and crushed him on the
ground. The demons who witnessed the dreadful scene in the courtyard rushed
hither and thither in fear watching the might of Angadha, they dared to speak to each other about what had happened before their eyes, they kept quiet about the death
of Prahastha. Suddenly a huge cry rose from the city thinking the Vanara who set
fire to the city of Lanka has returned once again, all were terror-struck with
the knowledge that no one could protect them from the Vanara. Agatha proceeded
to the court of Ravana, all those demons’ guards obediently answered the
questions of Angadha and guided him, if Angadha looked at anyone on their face
would turn out pale in terror.
