Chapter - 102– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Lanka Kanda – The description of a vicious battle between Rama and Ravana
Lord Sri Ramachandra who has a marvelous
physique of dark cloud complexioned, shone in the middle of the mighty Vanaras
created by elusive powers of Ravana, like the Thamala tree surrounded by multitudes
of the rainbow. The deities cried in mixed feelings of joy and grief “Victory to
Lord Sri Ramachandra! Victory to Lord Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra! Victory to
Rama and Lakshman!” The Lord of Raghu was hugely annoyed by the elusive tricks
of Ravana, shot an arrow that dispersed all those elusive characters from the
battlefield. Soon the mighty Vanaras and
bears rejoiced at heart and came back to Lord Sri Ramachandra, holding trees
and rocks on the battlefield. Rama showered powerful arrows aiming at the heads
of Dhashanan, that severed his heads and arms once again, and hurled on the
ground, the vicious battle between Rama and Ravana was beyond description, even
the thousand tongued Adhishesha and Goddess Sharada could not describe them all
in several Yugas. How could a dull-minded Tulsidas describe the ferocious
battle between Rama and Ravana? It was a part of the amusement of Lord Sri
Ramachandra, he severed the heads of Ravana several times on the battlefield,
while the deities and Siddhas were alarmed to watch Lord Rama struggling to
kill the ten-headed demon, the heads severed were cropped up in no time, like
the wickedness, jealousy, desire in the Jeeva. The battle between the two continued
so long; Rama looked at Vibheeshana. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, the
supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra who symbolizes death, desired to test the devotion
of Vibheeshana who was already taken shelter at his lotus feet.” Vibheeshana spoke
amiably “ Oh! Prabho, you are Lord of all the living and non-living things in
this Universe, you are the creator, protector, and destroyer of the Universe, you
are the source of the welfare of Universe, deities, sages, and Rishis. Oh! Prabho,
the nectar of immortality bears on the navel of Ravana that keeps him alive.”
The compassionate Lord rejoiced at the truthfulness of Vibheeshana, shot a powerful
arrow aiming at the navel of Ravana. There
were several inauspicious omens was visible at that moment, the Jackals,
elephants, vultures, dogs, and donkeys, produced terrible cries, the birds and
reptiles became restless, the sky turned red, Mandodhari was perturbed, became inconsolable, the idols
in the palace shed tears.
