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.
