The wives of Ravana wept bitterly “Oh! Prabho, you have fooled yourself by considering Lord Sri Hari who was personified as the son of Kosala, being an ordinary human, alas! he is the colossal fire that engulf the whole Universe at the time of deluge, he is woodfire to the demon race, you have refused to worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra, who is merciful, worshiped by Lord Bhrama and Lord Shambhu and deities. Your body has taken immense pleasure in worldly matters, grown arrogant and ignorant, taken great pleasure in committing various sins, finally, that compassionate Lord has absorbed you, and showered his grace on you, hence I worship that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who symbolizes all-pervasive Bhramam. Oh! Prabho there is no other deity as compassionate and kind as Lord Sri Ramachandra who provided you the highest of piety that is liberation from worldly existence, which is difficult to obtain even for the Rishis and Yogis who undertakes several austerities and penance.” The deities and Rishis rejoiced listening to the nectar-like words of Devi Mandodhari eulogizing the all-pervasive Lord Sri Ramachandra. The supreme Lord Bhrama, Shambhu, Sanaka, Sanandhana, Sanathkumara, and Sanathana, Maharishi Narada, and the enlightened Rishis and Sages overwhelmed with emotions perceiving the marvelous form of Lord Sri Ramachandra on the battlefield. Vibheeshana approached the women who were lamenting over the death of their beloved husband, and gravely looked at the headless body of Ravana. Lord Rama advised Lakshman to console Vibheeshana and the rest of the people, Vibheeshana returned to Lord was advised compassionately “Oh! Vibheeshana, give up your grief, and perform the final rites of Ravana.” Thus, Vibheeshana performed the last rite of Ravana, strictly followed by the time, zone.
