Chapter - 30– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha advises Ravana to stop gibberish talks and take shelter at the feet of Lord Raghu

 

Angadha speaks “Oh! Fool, moth dies in the fire due to their infatuation, and the donkeys carry loads on their back cannot be termed as heroes, listen to me, leave your arrogance and pride, I haven’t come to make a peace treaty with you, I am a messenger of Lord Sri Ramachandra, it was the compassionate Lord advised to think over your wicked deeds, and get rid of your anxiousness. The lions do not earn fame by killing Jackal, remember this word of Lord Raghu, and leave your animosity against him that’s favorable for your entire clan. Oh! Wicked, I remember the saying of Lord Raghu that’s why I spare you for your nonsense talks, otherwise I would have smacked your face and taken back Devi Sita safely to Ragu. Oh! Dhashanan, I have perfectly measured your might when you have abducted Jagathjanani Paramba Bhagavathi Devi Sita while Lord Sri Ramachandra was away from her, you are Lord of demons, I am a messenger and sincere servant of Lord Raghu, If I was not afraid of overruling the advice of Lord of Raghu, I would have given befitting answer for your misconduct.”

Chapter - 29– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha gets irritating listening to the self-praise of Ravana

 

Ravana spoke “Oh! Vanara, who has the equal might of mine to fight on the battlefield? I had the courage to chop off my heads and offered in the sacrificial fire to please Gauripathi Lord Shambhu. I have received the boon from Lord Bhrama that I will get killed in the hands of an ordinary human being, I laughed at him knowing that there won’t be a human to kill me, and his prophecies are going to prove false before the world. Yet, you are a fool, keep praising the prince of Ayodhya before me, without any shame or knowledge.” Angadha replied “Yes, I agree there is no one in the Universe shameless as you, be ashamed of your ignorance and arrogance. All that you remember the elevation of Mount Kailash and your heads offered in the sacrificial fire, you have already repeated twenty times before me. You have kept those secrets of the might of your arms while battling against Bali, Vali, and Sahasrabhahu and miserably failed in your attempt to conquer them. Oh! Fool, can anyone become the hero by chopping off heads and offering in the sacrificial fire? A magician cannot be called a hero, even though he performs different hacks before the audience.”

Chapter - 28– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Ravana gets annoyed listening to the praise of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Ravana shrieked in anger “Oh! Vanara, you haven’t heard of my might with that I have conquered all the animate and inanimate things in this Universe, or my brother Kumbhakarnna, who has the large ears resemble pot or my son mighty Meghanatha who crushed the pride of Lord Indra. Oh! Fool, your Master Lord Sri Ramachandra constructed a bridge across the ocean with the help of Vanaras, do you call it the valor of your Lord? There are several species of birds that fly across the ocean, all of them cannot be heroes. Oh! Vanara listens to me, I have possessed twenty arms which has the might of the ocean, and I have crushed many deities and noble souls beneath it. Who has the valor to cross these twenty unfathomable oceans like my powerful arms? I have employed the guardians of eight directions to serve me, Oh! Fool, you are praising an ordinary human being, the prince of Ayodhya before me. Listen Vanara, if your Lord is capable to meet me on the battlefield why did he choose to send messengers from time to time? Is he ashamed to make terms with his enemy? Look at my powerful arms that elevated the Mount Kailasha the abode of Lord Shambhu, and you can praise your Master at your heart's content.”

Chapter - 27– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha describe the virtues and valor of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Angadha spoke “Oh! Fool, do you think the son of Lord Vayu, Hanuman is a mere Vanara who crushed your pride and an army of demons, destroyed your pleasure gardens, killed your son, and set fire to your city of Lanka and slipped off out of your hands unharmed? Oh! Dhashanan, listen to me carefully, leave your arrogance, and worship Lord of Raghu, if you turned against that Lord Rama, you can’t save yourself even from Lord Bhrama or Lord Shambhu. Oh! Fool, do not brag in vain, if you keep animosity against that Lord Rama, you will definitely get chopped off all your heads with the powerful arrows of that Lord in the battlefield, and the Vanaras and bears in the field would play with your bodiless heads like the flower balls. If Rama gets enraged, none could withstand on the battlefield, you can’t survive in the shower of powerful arrows of the Lord, hence get rid of hostility towards that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra and worship him.” Ravana could not control his rage after listening to the words that were like ghee added to the fire.

Chapter - 26– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha’s befitting reply to Ravana’s comment on ‘Rama is an ordinary human being’

 

Ravana shrieked in anger “Oh! Wicked and haughty Vanara, you have humiliated the Ravana who was praised in the three worlds and you are highly speaking about an ordinary human, I have understood your wisdom.” Angadha indignantly replied “Oh! Fool, how can be that Rama who crushed the pride of Sage Parashurama can be an ordinary human being, whose very sight melted the heart of Parashurama who killed several wicked Kshatriyas on the Earth, and removed the burden of the earth, whose fierce ax cut down the powerful arms of Sahasrabhahu. Do you think Lord Kamadeva is a mere archer? Do you think the river Ganga is a mere stream? Kamadhenu is an ordinary cow? Garuda is an ordinary bird? Thousand hooded Adhishesha is a mere serpent? Chinthamani/precious gem is an ordinary stone? Oh! Ten-headed Ravana, Oh! Wicked, do you think the supreme abode of Lord Vishnu Sri Vaikunda is a mere sphere and the sincere devotion to Lord of Raghu’s is a mere a practice of worship?”

Chapter - 25– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Ravana self-praising the might of his arms to Angadha

 

Angadha speaks “Oh! Ravana, listen to me, I am ashamed to tell you this, one Ravana was caught up under the armpit of mighty Vali. Oh! Dhashanan, do not get angry, tell me which one was that you?” Ravana was blazing with rage spoke “Oh! Fool, I am the Ravana whose mighty arms lifted the Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shambhu and offered my heads in the sacrificial fire during my penance praying to Lord Shambhu, I was courageous enough to pluck my lotus like heads one by one and offered to Lord Shambhu/Tripurari. Oh! Fool, the might of my arms are well known in the eight quarters, the strength of my chest is familiar to the elephants of eight quarters, its fierce tusks failed to cause injuries on my chest when I walk the Earth quivers like the elephant entered into the ferry, I am that same Ravana who is famous for his might all over the world, I am certain you haven’t heard of them all.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Lanka Kanda – Angadha advises Ravana to leave animosity against Lord of Raghu

 

Chapter - 24– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Angadha advises Ravana to leave animosity against Lord of Raghu

 

Angadha spoke “Oh! Ravana, you may blame the Vanara who set fire to Lanka without the order of his Master, and he did not meet Sugrivah with the fear of death, etc. I do not get angry on any of these, because there is none would be prepared to fight against you if they have any amount of grace in them, Oh! Ravana, you do not have the basic knowledge of how to choose enemies and friends, remember that make friends and enemies with the people who have the same strength as you. No one would praise a lion if it killed a frog, in the same manner, if Rama kills you, everyone would blame him, hence leave your animosity with Lord Sri Ramachandra, the valorous Kshatriyas are unpredictable and definitely, you can’t withstand before him.” Ravana laughed out and spoke ironically “One Vanara shot spears like harsh words against the mighty King who has ten heads, and twenty powerful arms, now the hero of demons extracting the arrows like harsh words from his limbs. Finally, I have understood one thing clearly, Vanara possesses great virtue, they are selfless and serve their Master in all possible ways.”

 

Ravana spoke sarcastically “Congratulations Vanara! You are well capable to dance to the tune of your Master at any time and anywhere, your race is well known for their dance to the tune of their Master who protects them and performs various amusements to entertain the people that show your dedication.  Oh! Angadha, the race of Vanaras is famous for their devotion to their Masters, I respect their nature, that’s why I am listening to your gibberish talks with great generosity.” Angadha spoke “Oh! Ravana, the son of Lord Vayu, Hanuman has portrayed your qualities very well, he destroyed your pleasure gardens, killed your son, destroyed your mighty army, set fire to Lanka, yet you feel he didn’t do anything wrong to you. I have witnessed your magnanimity that was already described by the son of Lord Vayu, you are shameless, you have no resentment, you are the destroyer of your clan.” Ravana spoke contemptuously “Oh! Vanara, do you call me the death of my father, I would have taken your life for your nonsense, but leaving you knowing that you are the only son of mighty Vali.” Angadha spoke “Oh! Ravana, listen to me that I have heard about you, one Ravana who went to Pathaloka to battle against Bali was conquered and tied up in the stable by his children and thrashed to death was saved by Bali, and released. There was another Ravana who was captured by Sahasrabhahu, thinking about him as a strange creature with ten heads and twenty arms, and brought to his home for amusement was released by Sage Pulasthya.”
