Chapter - 100– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Thrijata’s nectar-like advice to Devi Sita

 

Thrija speaks “Oh! Devi Janaki, Lord Sri Ramachandra resides in the heart of the worshiper who constantly remembers you, Ravana is fully absorbed in your thought, hence you are residing in his heart, and your consort Lord Sri Ramachandra is inseparable from you. If Rama struck an arrow on the heart of Ravana, it would hurt both of you, because you both dwell in Ravana’s heart. That’s why Lord Sri Ramachandra not striking his powerful arrows on the chest of Ravana, if he struck his chest that would destroy the infinite spheres on the stomach of Lord Sri Ramachandra as well.” Devi Janaki’s mind filled with great enthusiasm as well as grief listening to the marvelous explanations of Thrijata, and she continues after watching Devi Sita in utter distress “Oh! Beautiful one, listen to me, leave all your misconceptions, and anxiousness, your enemy will meet his death very soon. Each time Rama struck Ravana’s head, he would get freed from your thought, at the right moment, the Lord will pierce his heart with his powerful arrow.” Thus, Thrijata comforted Devi Sita with sweet nectar-like words and returned to her home. Devi Sita thought of the kindness and compassion of Lord Sri Ramachandra, once again it aggravated the pain of separation from him, she became inconsolable and felt the night as years, shed tears of grief, at that very moment, her left part of limbs and eyes began to throb as a sign of auspiciousness, she thought “The gracious Lord of Raghu will find a way to meet me very soon.” Ravana spend a sleepless night in the palace, he roared at his charioteer, “Oh! Fool, he has severed my heads several times, shame on you!” The charioteer clasped the feet of Ravana and comforted him in many ways. It was the early hours of dawn, Ravana mounted on his grand chariot and sallied forth to the battlefield, soon a huge army of Vanaras and bears arrived to battle against the demon, carrying huge rocks and trees on their hands, and crunching their teeth.
