Chapter - 101– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama in the middle of illusive Vanaras on the battlefield

 

The mighty Vanaras and bears plucked trees and huge rocks and rushed to the battlefield, and hurled on demon Ravana and his army of demons, they could not withstand the might of the Vanaras, hence they flee out of the battlefield. The Vanaras and bears encircled Ravana from all directions and began to tear off his limbs with their sharp nails and teeth. Ravana felt intimidated by the hosts of Vanaras, disappeared from their sight with his elusive power. Soon the battlefield crammed with Bhootha, Vethala, Pretha, and Pishacha wielded on bow and arrow, the Yoginis with the skull on one hand and holding a fierce sword on the other, sprang from all directions taking great pleasure in the fresh blood, they danced all around the battlefield, shrieked in deafening voices ‘seize him! Kill him!’ these elusive characters of Ravana chased the Vanaras and bears on the battlefield, causing them to flee from the war field were encircled by a massive blaze. The Vanaras and bears stood in utter dismay, immediately Ravana caused the heavy sandstorm with his illusive power, the Vanars and bears were alarmed, Ravana roared on the battlefield, all the mighty Vanaras including Sugrivah and Lakshman lost consciousness, the remaining warriors cried out “Oh! Rama! Oh! Raghuveera, kindly protects us!”. Ravana perceived that the might of Vanaras disappeared, again he started illusionary powers against Rama, soon several mighty Vanaras holding huge rocks encircled Rama on the battlefield, they crunched their teeth, raised tails high on the air, roared “seize him! Kill him!’, the Lord of Kosala stood gigantic in the middle of the illusive Vanaras.
