Chapter - 22– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Lanka Kanda – Angadha’s heated conversation with Ravana
Angadha spoke “Oh! Ravana, if I was a
destroyer of my own clan, what was you? Are you the preserver of your clan by
creating enmity with the Lord? Even the blind and deaf won’t agree with your
terms, what’s the benefit of possessing twenty ears and eyes? I did not bring
any disgrace to my race by surrendering at the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Ramachandra and being an emissary to that Lord, whose feet are worshiped by
Lord Bhrama, Lord Shambhu, deities, Rishis and Sages Mahatmas, etc. I surprise
your heart did not rip apart while keeping enmity with the compassionate Lord.
Ravana could not control his anger, his eyes were reddened with anger, shrieked
at Angadha “Oh! Wicked, so far I have been kept quiet with your humiliating
words, because I know the righteousness and decorum, and you are lacking both.”
Angadha replied “Oh! Ravana, I know your righteousness, it is evident from your
actions, that you have abducted another person’s wife in his absence, and I
have witnessed your behavior to an emissary of Lord/Hanuman. Oh! Fool, why don’t
you kill yourself and put an end to your atrocities? You have witnessed your
sister Shoorpanakha who got disfigured for her misdemeanor, where was your
righteousness at that moment? Your piety and righteousness are well-spoken all
over the world, I am fortunate enough to witness them all.”
