Chapter – 58– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara Kanda– The spies describe the valor and virtues of Rama

 

The spies spoke “Oh! Prabho, all the Vanaras, and bears have possessed immense valor by birth, and they have the grace of supreme Lord Ramachandra on their head to protect them. These Vanaras and bears are capable to conquer millions of Yamas on the battlefield. Oh! Prabho, the saints, ascetics, Mahatmas, and noble souls are incompetent to describe their valor, courage, might, and virtues of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Oh! Prabho, Rama could dry up several oceans with the single shot of his powerful arrow, although, he has possessed immense strength, before drying up the ocean he consulted with your brother Vibheeshana, and appealed to the King of the ocean to leave a way to approach the city of Lank.” Ravana laughed boisterously, and passed sarcastic comments “Oh! Spies, it is funny as well as strange to see that mighty Princes have made an ally with the Vanaras and bears, he sought after the advice of my younger brother Vibheeshana who is born as a coward and begging before the ocean to leave way. Oh! Fools, why do you praise my enemy whose might and virtues haven’t been heard before, and whoever seeks helps from Vibheeshana who is not a brave consular, cannot achieve success or glory.” The spies got annoyed listening to the arrogant remark of their King, who is dull-witted, soon they brought out the message of Lakshman “Oh! Prabho, this is the message of the younger brother of Rama, kindly read it and soothe your heart.” Ravana laughed contemptuously and pulled out the message carelessly with his left hand, and called out for his minister to read it out.
