Chapter - 77– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The death of Meghanatha brought extreme grief  to Ravana and Devi Mandodhari

 

Meghanatha while leaving the mortal coil uttered “Where is Ramanuja, Lakshman? Where is Rama?”, Angadha and Hanuman exclaimed, “Your mother is fortunate to have you as her son, at last, you have pronounced the sacred name of Lord Rama while leaving the mortal coil.” Hanuman carried the lifeless body of Meghanatha and deposited it at the entrance of the Palace of Ravana. The deities and celestials rejoiced over the death of the demon Indhrajeeth, showered flowers, sung in praise of Rama, Lord of Raghu, and the sounds of divine instruments reverberated all over the sky, the deities and Siddhas cheered in extreme joy “Hail Lord Anantha! Hail Ramanuja! Hail Lord of Raghu! Hail the supporter of Universe!” Thus, the celestials eulogized the glory of Lakshman, it was the hours of dusk Lakshman returned to the camp of Rama. Dhashanan lost consciousness after witnessing the lifeless body of Indhrajeeth, could not control the grief of death, Devi Mandodhari wept bitterly beating her chest in utter pain, the people of Lanka doomed to gloominess, and everyone cursed the pride and arrogance of Ravana.
