Chapter
-5 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda - The various amusements of Vanaras
and bears on the seashore
The vast bridge was overcrowded with the
army of Vanaras and bears, some of them flew in the air, and others were
carried by giant aquatic animals on their back. Lord Raghu and Lakshman laughed
at the hilarious amusements of the Vanaras and bears, and their style of
crossing the ocean. Thus, the Lord of Raghu and Lakshman reached on the other
side of the ocean safely, followed by the huge troop of Vanaras and bears, that
was beyond description. Rama halted on the shore and advised the Vanaras and bears
to relax and search for fruits to remove their hunger and tiredness. As soon
they heard the advice of the Lord, they flee in different directions in the search of fruits, all the trees and plants bore succulent fruits of seasonal
and non-seasonal at the command of the Lord. The Vanaras and bears ate the
fruits and fiber roots at heart's content and began to hurl the trees and
mountains towards the city of Lanka, they did not spare a single demon without
humiliating or cutting their nose and ears, or wounded them, and made them flee
to the place of Ravana singing in praise of Lord Raghu. The demons who got
brutally hurt ripped off their nose and ears were approached their King Ravana, and
related all that had happened. The
moment Ravana heard the arrival of his enemies on the seashore, and the huge
bridge constructed across the vast ocean, he could not control his rage, crushed
his teeth in anger, and was startled.
