Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – The vicious battle between Lord Rama and Indhrajeeth

 


Chapter - 73– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The vicious battle between Lord Rama and Indhrajeeth

 

Meghanatha mounted on a magnificent chariot, wielded in various weapons, arrived on the battlefield, gave out a loud roar and deafening laugh revealing his presence, which struck terror among the Vanaras and bears. Meghanatha hurled several vicious weapons which were difficult to name against the Vanaras and bears, and the entire battlefield crammed with the powerful arrows from his bow, resembled the heavy rain cloud in the month of Bhadrapada, the battlefield reverberated with the shrieks and cries of ‘seize him! Kill him!’, but no one knew what was happening amidst the darkness, the Vanaras hurled huge mountains and rocks on the battleground and flew on the air. In the meantime, Meghanatha used his illusionary powers and packed the valleys, mountains, and pathways crammed with the arrows. The Vanaras were confused without the knowledge of where to run, the multitudes of arrows on the pathways resembled a prison, the mighty Vanaras, Angadha, Hanuman, Nala, and Neela startled at the sight of the pathways. Indhrajeeth showered arrows on Lakshman, Sugrivah, and Vibheeshana that pierced their bodies, then he confronted Lord of Raghu, the arrows released by Indrajeeth were turned into serpents and attacked Rama. The Supreme Lord who is absolute Bhramam, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, free from impurities, impenetrable, unconquerable, was besieged with the Nagapasha. The Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra performed a role of an ordinary human, in order to reveal the glory of Asthrashathra, the Lord allowed himself to be bound by the Nagapasha/snare of serpents, the deities were startled watching the Almighty Lord Sri Ramachandra’s amiability.
