Ramayana Agaval-Sundara
Kandam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(I came across this in an old book. This is a saummarised form of Sundara Kandam
in the form of a Tamil poem style called Agaval which is a blank poetry. I am
sure that reading this would give the effect
of reading Sundara kandam of
Ramayana.)

Seeing of the Goddess
Hanuman who climbed on to the mountain,
Facing the Sri Lanka surrounded by waves of the sea,
Lifted his tail , got up and through the path of the sky,
Travelled , with Mainaka , the sea mountain greeting him,
With Surasa
greeting him With Thara ,
Which is a shadow pulling him ,
Entered through the mouth, uprooted the long liver,
Got up., entered the Lanka which was in the south,
Slept , got up at night, reached near the boundary wall,
Killed the Lankini
who tried to stop him,
Entered the city, roamed all round the town,
Reached the place
where heroes sleep,
Saw Ravana who was sleeping, controlled his anger,
Was attracted by
the sleeping Mandodhari,
But concluded that
she is not the Goddess ,
And entered the
near by Asoka vana ,
Saw the goddess with a very thin hip,
Became fully happy and sat there in hiding.
Asoka vanam azhithal

EEnduyir viduven yendru ayal poga,

Destroying Asoka
Vana
Thoughtfully when Hanuman
was sitting on a tall tree,
The Asura caught
in very great passion and love,
Came and fell at the
flower like feet of Janaki,
Talked to her in pain, shouted at her to scare her,
And after he returned , those Rakshasis who became unfriendly,
Entered in to a long sleep and that great lady getting sad,
Deciding to take her life away was going
somewhere else ,
And seeing that
Hanuman entered in to great
thought,
And told her that I , who am the emissary of Rama has come here,
And so leave out all your sorrow and showed,
Her the symbol of
hand of Rama and told her many truths,
About several incidents and took from her , the brooch to
show the son of God,
And was praised by
her who was weak , in a great manner,
And he also wished her well and talked to her of many
things,
Gave her the ring
of Rama and also told her of many
private news,
And took leave of
her promising to come back,
And from there
wandered here and there after
destroying that growing garden.

Meeting with Ravana
After destroying
the tall growing forest , Hanuman,
Uprooted a
shining meeting hall and threw it ,
And due to that the
city of Lanka was flustered,
And when the
security went and informed about ,
What happened
to the great king,
He asked Kinkaras to go with a great army,
And asked them ,
to catch and bring him,
And hanuman killed
all of them,
With a very huge
pillar which was decorated,
And SAmbu mali who was the son of,
The uncle of Ravana called bragadatta neared him,
And that son of the Rakshasa left his soul,
And when Akshaya , the son of Ravana came to the war,
Hanuman rubbed him
on the floor and made him in to a paste,
And Mega Nadha came
and waged a very great war,
And when he send
the Pasa,tied Hanuman up,
And took him in
front of the king ,
And Hanuman with great courage and faced him.

Reaching the sea
shore.
Seeing the shining face
of one who faced him boldly,
Ravana asked him
Please tell me who you are,
Are the fire God, tell me , He told , I am hanuman,
Who has come to the southern side in search of Sita , and am,
One of the members
of the great army of Angadha,
Who is the son of Vali and also told him in detail about,
The death of Vali, and when Hanuman was sentenced to die,
Vibheeshana denied and his tail was
set on fire instead,
And due to the virtue of the holy lady, the fire did not
hurt him,
And he jumped all over Lanka and completely burnt it,
Went and saluted her feet, jumped towards north,
On the way meeting the
Mainaka mountain,
Told those of his friends , the welfare of the goddess,
Visited Madhuvana on the way, reached,
The feet of the lord and told all news and that king,
Along with the army
speedily reached the shores of
southern black sea.
