Chapter - 74– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama was tied up by the Nagapasha/snarl of the serpent by Indhrajeeth

 

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Bhavani, Oh! Girija, do you think the snarl of the serpent could tie up the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who is all-pervasive Bhramam, free from afflictions and bondage, whose very name is capable to cut off the snarl of worldly bondages of the Jeeva? Oh! Bhavani, the supreme Bhramam personified as the son of Kosala is beyond description or comparison, he is beyond mind and perceptions, whoever realizes the knowledge of Self/Jeevathma is Paramathma, grow dispassionate and worship Lord Sri Ramachandra, get relieved from all the misconceptions. Meghanatha with his illusionary powers hurled the host of Vanaras into utter confusion and began to pour abuses on the enemies. The elderly Jambavan spoke “Oh! Wicked, stop for a while.” Meghanatha was infuriated and shrieked at Jambavan “Oh! Fool, vile creature, I have spared you thinking of your age, yet you have the boldness to challenge me?” Meghanatha hurled his powerful trident on Jambavan who caught the trident in his hand and hurled it back on Meghanatha which hit his chest and fell down with a large thud. Jambavan seized Meghanatha on his leg and swirled around, and thrashed on the ground. Meghanatha who has achieved the boon from Lord Bhrama kept him alive, Jambavan caught on his leg and tossed him to the palace of Lanka. Maharishi Narada informed Garuda about the snarl of Nagapasha that tied Rama on the battlefield, immediately Garuda rushed to the battlefield and released Rama from the Nagapasha.
