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.”
