Chapter - 100– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Thrijata’s nectar-like advice to Devi Sita

 

Thrija speaks “Oh! Devi Janaki, Lord Sri Ramachandra resides in the heart of the worshiper who constantly remembers you, Ravana is fully absorbed in your thought, hence you are residing in his heart, and your consort Lord Sri Ramachandra is inseparable from you. If Rama struck an arrow on the heart of Ravana, it would hurt both of you, because you both dwell in Ravana’s heart. That’s why Lord Sri Ramachandra not striking his powerful arrows on the chest of Ravana, if he struck his chest that would destroy the infinite spheres on the stomach of Lord Sri Ramachandra as well.” Devi Janaki’s mind filled with great enthusiasm as well as grief listening to the marvelous explanations of Thrijata, and she continues after watching Devi Sita in utter distress “Oh! Beautiful one, listen to me, leave all your misconceptions, and anxiousness, your enemy will meet his death very soon. Each time Rama struck Ravana’s head, he would get freed from your thought, at the right moment, the Lord will pierce his heart with his powerful arrow.” Thus, Thrijata comforted Devi Sita with sweet nectar-like words and returned to her home. Devi Sita thought of the kindness and compassion of Lord Sri Ramachandra, once again it aggravated the pain of separation from him, she became inconsolable and felt the night as years, shed tears of grief, at that very moment, her left part of limbs and eyes began to throb as a sign of auspiciousness, she thought “The gracious Lord of Raghu will find a way to meet me very soon.” Ravana spend a sleepless night in the palace, he roared at his charioteer, “Oh! Fool, he has severed my heads several times, shame on you!” The charioteer clasped the feet of Ravana and comforted him in many ways. It was the early hours of dawn, Ravana mounted on his grand chariot and sallied forth to the battlefield, soon a huge army of Vanaras and bears arrived to battle against the demon, carrying huge rocks and trees on their hands, and crunching their teeth.

Chapter - 99– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The conversation between Devi Sita and Trijata

 

That very night Thrijata met Devi  Vaidhehi and informed all that was happening on the battlefield, Devi Sita felt alarmed listening to the might Ravana, and the news of Rama’s arrows sieved off the heads and arms of Ravana several times,  but the demon stood unconquerable on the battlefield, Sita’s mind filled with extreme anxiousness, she spoke in utter dismay “Oh! Mother, what is that going to happen? How could these demons get eliminated from the Universe? The several powerful arrows of Rama sieved off his heads and arms, unfortunately, they were growing relentlessly, was that because of the ill-fate of mine or the destiny, which brought me in the grief of separation from the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. The bad luck brought the illusionary golden deer before me, and it forced me to speak harsh words to Lakshman, all those visuals are piercing my heart again and again and multiplies the grief of separation from Lord Raghu who keeps me alive in these terrible situations, and he only can put an end to the wretched demon Ravana.” Devi Janaki lamented over her bad luck and contemplated upon Lord Raghu, who is kind and compassionate to his devotees. Trijata spoke “Oh! Rajakumari, princess of Vidheha, the end result will be, the enemy of deities will die, definitely, if an arrow struck on the chest of Ravana he would die, but Lord Raghu is careful, because Ravana keeps you in his heart, so the Lord Raghu does not want to hurt you, that’s the reason he is not piercing the heart of Ravana with his powerful arrows.”

Ravana raised on his feet, and produced a loud shriek, he stretched the bows on the ten hands and showered arrows on Vanaras and bears who cried out for help, watching his own might Ravana rejoiced at heart. Lord Raghu shot arrows that severed Ravana’s heads and arms, alas! it started to grow in no time, like the sins committed on the sacred lands multiplied in no time. The bears and Varans grew furious watching the growth of heads and arms of Ravana, they darted towards him in a rage, Dhvidha, Angadha, Hanuman, Nala, Neela, Sugrivah, plucked huge trees and hurled on Ravana was caught on hand and hurled back on the Vanaras.

The blood was oozing out of Ravana’s ten heads, he stretched his hand to get hold of the Vanaras, but they tactfully moved from one hand to another, like the honey bees swarm over the lotus flowers. Finally, Ravana got hold of Nala and Neela and began to thrash them on the ground was slipped out tactfully, twisted his arms, and ran away. Ravana wielded in ten bows, shot several arrows on the Vanaras, that wounded them brutally, he rejoiced at heart watching the approach of night.

The mighty Vanaras Angadha, Hanuman, Nala, and Neela, and the bears fought fearlessly on the battlefield against the demons created with the illusionary powers of Ravana, while the others cried for help “Oh! Kripasagara kindly protect us!”. The Lord of Kosala watched the malicious battle with the Vanaras and demons of illusive Ravana, smiled and stretched his bow Sharnga and shot an arrow that obliterated the host of illusive Ravana from the battlefield, like the sun remove the darkness, thus Prabhu Sri Ramachandra removed the illusive Ravanas, the deities rejoiced and showered flowers on Rama. The compassionate Lord raised his hands to the Vanaras and bears and brought back them in order, soon they darted to the battlefield with great enthusiasm. Ravana saw the deities singing in praise of Rama, he thought “Oh!

Devi Uma, Vibheeshana who is the younger brother to Ravana had never the courage to look at the face of Ravana, crumpled his elder brother with immense might at the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra, resembled death to Ravana.” Hanuman realized Vibheeshana getting exhausted, soon rushed to the spot with a huge rock and crumpled the horses, and chariots of Ravana and gave a hard kick on his chest. Ravana lost his balance, experienced a terrible quake, in the meantime Vibheeshana retired to Lord Sri Ramachandra.

Chapter - 94– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Vibheeshana’s fight against Ravana

 

While the Vanaras and bears watching the severed heads of Ravana were flying on the air shrieking “Where is Rama?” the Jewel of Raghu’s clan shot several arrows on the severed heads, the Kalikas, female attendants of Devi Durga holding skulls on their hands, bathed on the pool of blood, and proceed to the battlefield, like the pious take dip in holy water and proceed to worship the Banyan tree. The ten-headed demon hurled a powerful spear aiming on the chest of Vibheeshana, as the spear was approaching Vibheeshana like Lord of death, the compassionate Lord thought, “I have promised to protect the Jeeva who have taken shelter in me. I can’t leave Vibheeshana to die.” Soon the Lord pushed Vibheeshana behind him, the spear struck hard on Rama and lost his consciousness for a while, although it was a part of the amusement, the deities were alarmed at this sight.  Vibheeshana saw the compassionate Lord was severely injured with the spear, he took the spear and rushed to Ravana, and shrieked at him contemptuously “Oh! Fool, you pathetic creature, you have earned hostility against the deities, Nagas, humans, and sages, you have pleased Lord Shambhu and achieved several boons in return, you have offered your heads on the fire sacrifice and received immense boons that made you stay long, now your death is impending, are you seeking happiness after keeping hostility towards Lord Sri Ramachandra?” saying so Vibheeshan hit the spear on the chest of Ravana.
