Chapter - 40– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Ravana orders the demons to devour the Vanara and bears entered the city of Lanka

 

The huge army of Vanaras and bears cheered in great enthusiasm “Hail Lord Sri Ramachandra! Hail younger brother of the Lord, Lakshman! Hail Kapeesa Sugreevah !” they have produced a deafening roar that engulfed the city of Lanka. The arrogant Lankapathi Ravana smiled cynically and ordered his men “Oh! Demons, look at the ill fate of Vanaras and bears, they have arrived in the city in large numbers, many of our demons are hungry, today they might achieve sumptuous meat in their homes.” Ravana laughed out haughtily “Oh! Mighty demons, drive yourself to all directions, don’t leave a single Vanara and bear on your sight, devour them all.” Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, Ravana was completely plagued with his might, like the bats hang down upside down the trees, thinking that the trees will protect them if the sky falls on them.” Soon the several thousands of demons got prepared with vicious weapons like spears, swords, axes, fireballs, clubs, daggers, and mass of rock in their hands proceeded to meet the army of Lord Sri Ramachandra, alas! they were moving to the mouth of miserable death without their knowledge, like the carnivores’ swoop down on the mass of precious gems mistaking them as a sumptuous meal, eventually, get hurt themselves.
