Chapter - 35– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha praising the splendor of Rama and leaving the assembly of Ravana

 

Meghanatha and several mighty demons haughtily rose from their seats, tried their luck to pull back the foot of Angadha that was firmly fixed in the middle of the assembly were failed miserably, eventually, all of them returned head hung down in utter disappointment. Angadha’s foot was firm in the ground, as if the heart of ascetic who abandoned the worldly matters and bondage, contemplating upon the supreme Bhramam. Ravana’s pride began to melt away watching the might of Angadha, the entire assembly was horror-struck watching the Vanara, at that moment, Ravana rose from his throne and approached Angadha was welcomed with a harsh speech “Oh! Fool, ten-headed demons, do not cling at my feet, I can’t save you from the grief, why don’t you approach Lord of Raghu and take shelter at his feet?” Ravana felt ashamed listening to the malicious comment of a Vanara, all his enthusiasms faded away instantly, like the moon in the midday. He returned to his throne head hung down as if somebody has looted all his wealth. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Uma, the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra is the Lord of the Universe, he is the Lord of animate and inanimate things in the Universe, how can the Jeeva live in peace after keeping hostility against that Lord? The functions of the Universe such as creation, preservation, dissolution, happen at the mere movement of the eyebrows of that Lord. He is capable to transform the blade of grass into a fierce weapon, and vice versa, although Angadha made all efforts to convince Ravana about the might of the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra was fallen on deaf ears, finally he praised the splendor of Lord Rama before leaving the assembly of Ravana.” Angadha spoke “Oh! Dhashanan, it is worthless to prove my might before you or self-praise my valor, I have no intention to take away your life without sporting with you on the battlefield.” Thus, Angadha took a flight from the assembly, Ravana came to know the death of Prahastha at the hands of Angadha, could not control his grief, the ministers were equally grown nervous watching the might of Angadha.
