Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – Devi Mandodhari’s advice to Ravana




Chapter -6 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Devi Mandodhari’s advice to Ravana

 

Ravana shrieked in terror “What! The two hermits have conquered the King of the ocean, constructed a mighty bridge across the ocean?” Soon, he laughed out mockingly, covered up all his anxiousness, and returned to his palace. Devi Mandodhari came to know that Lord Raghu has arrived on the shore of Lanka, constructed a mighty bridge across the river like an amusement, she seized her husband’s hand, and took him to her chamber, and began to speak in a soft tone. Devi Mandodhari prostrated before her husband, and hold her upper edge of the garment in hand as if begging for alms “Oh! Prabho, kindly listen to my words and leave your anger, Oh! My beloved Lord, before entering into battle with your enemies, you should know the physical and mental strength of him, you should not keep hostility against the one who is impossible to conquer. Oh! Prabho, the disparities between you and Lord of Raghu are the firefly’s animosity against the sun, will the firefly withstand the scorching heat of the sun? He is supreme Lord Vishnu incarnated as son of King of Kosala, he is the slayer of Madhu Kaitabha, and the sons of Dhithi/ Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu. He is the supreme Lord Sri Hari who crushed the pride of Bali, and chopped off the hands of Sahasrabahu, he has descended on the Earth to destroy the wicked demons and thereby reduce the burden of the Earth. He is supreme Lord who is the essence of Time, soul and fate as well, you cannot withstand him.”
