Chapter - 23– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha speaks the might of the Vanaras in the army of Sugrivah

 

Ravana shrieked in anger “Oh! Wicked Vanara, you do not know the might of my arms, it is powerful as several Rahus famous for causing affliction to the moon, you will come to know the strength of it while resting on the lotus-like palm of mine. Oh! Stupid Vanara, this mighty arm caused to shone Mount Kailash and Lord Shambhu as a swan on it. Oh! Angadha, who is courageous enough to battle with me in your army? Your Master Lord Rama has gone astray due to the pain of separation from his beloved consort, and the younger brother of Rama has grown weak listening to the grief of his elder brother. You and Sugrivah are like logs on the river, can be washed out anytime, and my brother Vibheeshana is a coward. Your counselor Jambavan is too old to fight, he needs someone to hold on to walk to the battleground, and Nala and Neela are skilled architecture, but definitely not warriors. There is one Vanara who possessed immense might for sure, he destroyed my pleasure gardens and set fire to the city of Lanka.” Angadha spoke “Oh! Demon King, are you still concerned about the Vanara who set fire to Lanka? Would you agree with the fact that a silly Vanara destroyed your Kingdom? Then, make a note of it, he is one of the messengers of Rama, belongs to the mighty army of Sugrivah. There are several thousands of mighty Vanaras in the army of Sugrivah who has possessed extreme valor and might than the Vanara appeared before you as a messenger of Rama.”
