Avathara purushan by Vali (part 6)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Yudha kanda 

1.I saw  Sita (Contd)

As per  the words of Sugreeva, all the seventy  velam,

Of monkey army stood up   , and slapped  on their thigh,

And they reached on the twelfth  day   the southern sea.

Rama who holds the bow, with worry though of,

How to reach  the far away  Lanka   crossing the sea,

And he  thought at the same  time greatness  of Hanuman,

Who set fire   to Lanka and returned   safely back

And he   appreciated  him in side  his mind

Ravana called Maya  and   said to him,

Rebuild prettily  , Lanka which has been burnt,

And  Maya   , as usual   did a  great job

IN the  royal  hall   raised by his father in law,

The son in law  called  for meeting  of his ministers,

He found  fault  with those  assembled there  saying

That to have set free  the animal  that set fire to Lanka,

Was  a very big mistake, it is a great hit to our self  respect.

A minister  called Mahodhara told and using his words,

He rained hot water on those who had assembled  there

“Ok king, you set up a dam   to our anger  or otherwise,

Order   to us   to wage  a war,  if you do,

WE will  bring that monkey and men who sent them,

Like mud pot, immediately, by breaking  all their bones,

And will collect   all their   bones   and bring them back

The monkey which jumps   from one branch to  another,

Killed our branches and it pinched   the  neck of asuras,
just like   it   will pinch the leaves?

Should respect  of Lanka   be lost  like this,

These  is no handicap   worse  than this to us.”

The brother   of Ravana  did not   agree  to this

He hated  the way   it was   talked,

Yes, Khumbakarna  interfered,

He   put out a knot , to the knot of the no -learned one.

“Oh my brother, Oh my brother,

The monkey that  entered the town   destroyed  it,

Whom did   the monkey   that has entered  your mind destroy,,

It has   destroyed   the name of clan of Paulasthya,

It destroyed   the  wealth   that we have saved,

It destroyed   the fame of chariot with veena flag.

Tell now whether  the name of this   city was lost,

By your behavior or   by one monkey

You loved the wife  of another  person,

That  day itself. You started worship for our destruction .

When a huge  crowd  of ladies   are   waiting  ,

To fall  on the feet of this wise man,

You went   and fell   , at the feet  of sita.,

You are   crying  like   a silly    child,

Where   is the respect   and shame  ,

For   the country  , which  the king does  not have,

Why are you staging a drama and are dying,

But any way  a this  time  , even  if you release  Maithili,

And we all go  and beg for pardon,

This earth   will talk that    Asuras  are scared of men,

The heavens   also will   talk like that.

So let us cross this big ocean and kill the enemy,

And then will talk   about  the respect  that  will remain.”

As soon as he heard  the words  of Kumbhakarna,

Indrajit   told to Ravana, “where is the need  of army  to kill   these cats,

Is there a need of elephants   to  wipe   away the leeches,

You send me, I will  kill   both those  men ,

And I will  wipe of clan of monkeys   in their blood,”

These  were told  by  the good pearl born to Mandodhari

Immediately  Vibheeshana   stood up to throw,

Letters  of light  in to that darkness

2.The story of Hiranya

At first Vibheeshana  , who was like  a wise sage  ,

Scolded the son of the king, the son of his brother”

“oh Indrajith  , in the pot of wisdom , you  still  are  a half cooked grain,

A  thinker of speed who lifts  weapons without thinking

Your father  is asking   for the opinion   of oceans,

A canal thinking  it is a mouth of the ocean is roaring,

You  are  an innocent  one in whom childishness  has not left,

Sit slightly away  and   give your ears  to hear  others.

Advising  like this  , he started  talking to his brother

Your dear brother who is a bee   drinking , honey  of  Dharma

“OH king, oh my elder  brother, Of person from south  

Appreciated   by  the god   who ate   the poison,

You are  my father  , mother  and Guru who gave  me wisdom

All the three  worlds are  kneeling down before  you

Only after  you give signal does the sun god sow  his rays of light,

Is planting in the sky which is   a huge field

Because  being lifted  by your  wet toungue,

The SAma veda   with great meaning,

Is lying   always   wet

The Narada’s Dumburu  which is famous for classical music,

Is playing some Ghana ragas   after consulting  your sakota  yaazh

“Oh my elder   brother, would you be forced  to bring down your own flag 

Which is praising   you  in all these  ways,

At the end    would you be forced  to do it” like this I am daily   worried,

And because  of that I am telling  you the truth”

The town did not burn because  of the fire kept by the monkey,

It is due to mother  Vaidehi who is saluted by the  earth

She is is a lotus who has left her seat of lotus  and has come to earth,

Her   husband’s lotus like    hands   are  extremely powerful,

Can our   hand   stand  before  that?

The arrow that churned  the broad chest of Vali, who churned  the ocean of milk,

In this earth  there is nothing else compared  to his bow, in look  or strength?

You would have seen how  it killed  Khara   and Viradha?

It is the fire wall which spits   fire on his enemies,

Are there any being   who can oppose that in this island

Oh king , that  Rama is an incarnation  of Lord Vishnu

If we fight with him, our clan would  be uprooted

I will now tell you   the story  of Hiranya  , please hear ,

It with your twenty ears and  then narrated  that  holy story,

The    devotee  of Vishnu and the  father  of  Trijata

Hiranya was an asura, the eldest son  of sage  Kashyapa,

His mother’s name  was Thithi, for asuras  the festival is  his birthday

Even for the devas   his  words  were the  law,

Because of the great  treasure  boons  given to him,

His life is a never  drying river  but also  a river  of sin

Hiranya was gold coloured, Hiranyaksha  was golden eyed

The gold colured  one  was  elder brother of  golden eyed  one

The younger Hinyaksha, earlier buried earth in side  the ocean

Lord Visnu  came as a boar and carrying earth on his horns and killed the asura

The elder  brother  seeing that  got agitated and    did great  THapas,

Lord Brahma appeared  before him, and the golden one  got  very many  boons from him

And after wards, he slept without fear  of Death.

Yes.He did not have death in fire, nor in water, not at night  , not in day time,

Not  in sky, not on earth, Not inside house  , nor outside, not in wind

Not by god of death, not in quarrel, not by hand, not by beast, not by humans

Not by past  karma nor by fate

The devas   did not know     any method  of killing him,

The Golden one who got many such  boons,

The trinity  observed  silence

Hiranya    told all that  he only was gOd,

And told people   that only  his  name  should be worshipped,

He   also  tested   whether  his words  were effective,

He cut off the heads  of those  who did not  follow his words

When this  golden one made  the concept  of fate outdated,

His wife  Leelavathi, one life   came   of her womb,

And  the name  of that boy   was  Prahladha.

Even while he was in mother’s  womb  , he had learnt,

The eight lettered manthra  praised  by the  great Vedas

And he had got that type of wisdom by  the boon of holy saint Narada

After getting the boon,  he  did not feel his father was great

When the teacher  of school said “tell  Hiranyaya nama”, his  toungue,

Did not leave  the name  of Narayana

The father  came to know  about  the actions of son,

And the anger  in his mind burnt like the  northern fire

“Hey son,  what  is this trouble? Who   taught you,

The lesson not   to accept me|

You are thinking  with gratefulness  that one  who came as a boar ,

And  killed my younger  brother,

In the toungue of the world  , your father’s name,

And in your toungue , the name of a silly person,

If this mistake had been done by others  except you

Would  they have   stood   with his head intact?

My servant   would have  eaten it., Alas

How did paddy straw   came as descendent  of the sword,

How come   a silly insect came as descendent  of a cruel scorpion?

Oh son born to me , clean your toungue, erase the name of Narayana

Oh dear son, the name  of your father  , is beginning  to you,”

Hiranya   wanted to make his son, the son of a tiger but,

His son  lived as the son of a bird

“oh father  , the letter of all letters  is the eight letters,

All  other letters   were born to  the eight letters,

The life  of all of us is the letter  on water,

Can a single letter  of  that survive  even for a second?

One of those letters is my lord’s name,

It is the  basic letter, and if you chant it ,

Our fate   would become good”

“ oh king of kings, You are boasting  that,

You are the God that  is worshipped by the  Vedas,

The name of one  whose  name  never changes,

Is made  as your name as lie  by you whose  name is not forever,

He  is original   and you are  a copy,

Can   copy ever become original?

Please  you understand,

All the souls talking a form and moving about,

Are  all created  by him,

All the   breath that  is given to help the beings,

Is given   as loan by him,

He will give, he will take away,

Who can prevent his giving  and his taking away?

Oh father , he is Ghee of milk, He  is the perfume of small flower,

He  is the truth  of  the book of Vedas,

He  is the god of death  in your  final days.

He is Hari, you also  please  know him,

Who is here who is equal   to him

He is  the first one who saved  the elephant ,

Which fell in the  mouth of  the crocodile

He is the baby , whom I knew ,

Even when I was  in  belly  of the mother.”

When his son emphasized  on the greatness of Hari,

HIranya  became  the form of raging fire,

And that  evil ordered that  his son should be killed

The son faced all of them by chanting  the name of Hari,

And the father  was defeated  in everything

Hiranya roared”Where  is that Hari? Is he here?”

“he is in grass, he  is in a big tree

He  is in the seed of paddy, He is in five types  of land,

He  is in this house , He is in your words saying “No”

He is in hand width, corner, pillar, twig  and whatever you see,

And he  will shower his mercy” said  the son of Hiranya,

Who worshiped   that God

With his bent mind egging him, he hit the pillar  with his hand

Next moment  that God appeared  before him in a man lion form

He tore his body, hetook out his liver,

And  that  pretty Narasimha,

Sent that  Asura  to the cremation   ground”

Vibheeshana  , after  completing  the story of Hiranya, said,

The one who came that day as lion as today  came  as Rama”

The king of Lanka  spit  on his brother’s face

3.The surrender  of Vibheeshana

The younger brother  who told  what was sweeet,

Was made  fun off , by Ravana, he  scolded him a lot,

He threw burning   words on him

“ the one who lies down of waves  of ocean,

Pretended  friendliness and took away  the liver  of our great one,

Is an evil birth

Similarly   he who falling in love  on the one  who walks in the forest,

And   who wants to  do evil to  his brother, is a  silly fellow

Vibheeshana, you   and me were carried  by the same womb,

We both  have same blood  in our veins, WE both have same mother,

But  our  minds  do not  get attached,

I live by holding  the sword, you live by catching  feet of others

I am the enemy  of planets and you are  jackal who carries news,

Run away, you do not have  a place  here,

The  southern Lanka  is not  the home  of Traitors,

If you still stay here, my sword will get hungry, it will  eat you.

The  fate  of  Ravana  took Vibheeshana  to lord Rama,

The eyes of the holy one   was not able to decide  whether to accept him or not.

Lord Rama called  an assembly   and sought  their  opinion,
each one had a  very different opinion,

After  some people talked , Sugreeva talked,

He painted  with a  brush of  traitor

“oh lord, even if he is evil  , elder brother  is equal to father,

The younger  one who leaves him in bad time,

Is equal   to torn bad cloths

Apart from that  he belongs to clan of asuras, It is better  to exclude  him”

Next  Jambavn spoke, he also painted  Vibheeshana with black paint,

“Oh lord , my mind does not believe  in him, He  is a poison  which has

Come to us   hiding his intentions, Oh Lord  , he should not be with us

Then the lord Asked  Anjaneya  to tell  his opinion and  he replied  with humility

“Oh  Charitable one  , I know this Vibheeshana slightly, he is person  blessed

With good qualities and his mind will not go away from Dharma,

He is the father  of Trijata   who is   a companion of Sita

He  is the  follower of dharma who has  come away from  king of Lanka,

Considering him    as an insect of disease and also dharma   says,

That   you should bless  any one coming to surrender  with us  ,

Without examining  who he is.Does the tree give  shade  after

Examining a person”

Pattabhirama praised    the talk  of   the son of wind god and then

Told a blessed  story about doves.

“there  was a forest and there  plenty of food   would  be available

For birds   and cows , there the top  of the very tall  trees would touch the sky

On one  of those  trees which touched  the sky, two doves   were  living

In relation,one was a white dove and the other  a female bird

By their beaks  they had measured  all the joy  that is contained  in the world.

When one of them flew   for a long distance  in hot sun,   both of them sweated .

One day the male bird got sick and was taking rest and both of them suffered without food

Later the female bird alone  went in search of food and the male bird was worried  about her safely

“Oh   good one, troubles  would  come  from hunters,

Because  we are  the food   for them,and so,

Without getting caught  in their net  climb up,

And to come back safely  chant  name of god”

Advised  the male bird  because he loved her  that much

Just like   what the male bird feared , the  female  bird was caught

In the net of a hunter and male bird seeing that cried

When the sky was   shedding water  and when the coloured dove,

Was praying God, when its mind was  being covered  with sorrow,

When  all its body was    covered by pain

In that torrential rain, in that  cold which numbs  the feet and hand,

That  hunter  hanging the  net on his shoulders  and carrying the

Dovee he caught  in his  basket, he came and sat  at the bottom of the tree,

Where  the male bird was living and due to great wandering slept

It became dark, the torrential   rain continued.

The lightning was beating the sky and water  was beating the earth,

And pitch darkness  was measuring   that forest

And the  sorrow of mind  was  making   the male bird suffer,

“Oh my dear friend  , why so much delay in returning”cried  the male bird

And from the cage of hunter the female   bird answered

“Darling  , I have been imprisoned, my life  ended  in cage of hunter  in the forest,.

Whatever  may the fate, that hunter  is peacefully  sitting  below the  tree we live,

His  stomach is dry  in the absence of food, ,like this his starving  just at the door of our house,

That  sin will make us suffer.It would not go  , even if we take  several births,

And so darling , make  some arrangement  for his food,

If you do we will not suffer  but

As per the order  of its loving wife, the  male dove, using his wing,

Made a heap  of wooden sticks  below the tree and brought   a stick with fire  and lit the heap,

By fanning  with its wings  it  increased   the fire and  in that light  forest became white

And the hunter  when the cold was got rid   and it became warm, wanted  to steal  the male bird also,

And he made  arrangements   for  that

Then the male dove  talked to him,In its talk, the perfume of great  Dharma was there,

“Dear friend, you are my guest, giving you food  is the rule  of Dharma,

The female bird who is in your cage  is my wife, the essence of Dharma,

She  requested  me to give food to you,

She woke up dharma in me and  enlivened  my conscience,

I will  fall in the fire and die, If   you eat  and get rid of your hunger, I will live

The forest dove  fell in the fire and the mind dove of the hunter woke up

“oh great  being, I lacked the thought  of Dhama  in you,

The  beings killed   and eaten by me  are  innumerable,

How  will my  birth  become meaningful?

How will  my Karma  get  erasesd?

I will not eat  meat   from now on, I will not kill living beings,

The hunter  took this oath  based  on his mother,

He opened  the cage  he had and the female  bird  which came  out,

Told the hunter”My soul will  not live without my  pair” and it fell  on the fire,

The female dove also got burnt, Talk  and breath   came to an end

The hunter saw  the culture of the bird, He  shouted “  wonderful, wonderful” and

 Next moment he added  his body  also in the fire

The hunter , male dovem female dove, got golden form   and went to heaven,

And became  greatly blessed  people

Rama finished   telling his story, Sugreeva  cried,

To him  , Anantha Rama , told to bring Vibheeshana with him

Vibheeshana came and fell  at the lotus like  feet of Rama and stood  saluting him

4.Sending Angadha as messenger

The son  of  Dasaratha lifted the brother of Ravana ,

Who has fallen at his feet  and hugged him,

That moment the fate  of  Vibheeshana  changed

Vibheeshana  started talking,

He started  blowing half as breeze   and half as cyclone

His tears flowed through  his throat, fell  on his dress,

And the water  washed  away  all the dirt there,

And then his conscience  became  clean

Oh Madhava, Oh Sun  who has born on this earth,

The  Lanka island  now does not  have charity  or mercy

Seeing all that  he earned  being destroyed by  my elder  brother,

I was greatly scared”Oh elder  brother , when you have  several wives,

When you have a star of the clan    as  your  queen,

Destroying the good name of our clan, your loving another’s wife,

Is   a great  treachery,

“That  wife  who  is divine, is not the pearl  garland for you to wear,

She is  the incarnation of  Lord Vishnu’s wife,

And your faith that  she is a proper wife for you is not healthy  for you

And that would be  the cause  of  your slide  down.”

Like this  I begged   with him a lot .He made  fun of me, He scolded  me in various ways,

He who is acting  as fruit tree removing its  hide , like serpent  removing  itskin

And  spoiling away the fame of clan  of pulasthya  and  will  never become  all right

Oh Lord, though I stay there  in a  mansion, not desiring  to live in the house,

Of a coward who stole   the wife  of some one else, I came to this war room

You are  the  good soul  who is searched by my mind,

You yourself are  the soul  of all beings”

Saying  this Vibheeshana again fell  at Rama’s feet and got up

The lord , the  hero without any stain, hugged him tightly

“oh Vibheeshana  leave out  your sorrow, give a chance  for Dharma  to win

To the evil souls  , whatever  we advice  , it will not enter  their  ears,

The time of that  will not come.

Oh sweet one, We are  four sons to our father, With Guha we became five,

The son of Sun God became the sixth, you with  a smiling  face,

Who is the brother  of our enemy,in the row of our brothers  has become 7^th.

And you have become suitable for  our love  and hugging

From now on, Oh Vibheshana, to the lanka   surrounded  by the ocean, you  are the king,

As long  as this broad  sky exists, as long   as song of  Vedas  exists,

You please hold the  flag   with veena.”Like  this Rama greeted  him.

He made  younger brother  of Ravana  drown in joy and then,

He  made Vibheshana   come  in procession in the war room,

That God   , the  Pattabhirama  with a broad mind.

The night came, The  moon came  to spit  its light

In the moon’s light  , in the  thought of Sita , that Sun burnt,

His younger brother  was sitting near  him to obey his orders

It became morning. The  black water  went back,

The job of  building  the dam   for   the  sea  started

The king of the ocean who was adamant in the beginning,

Afraid of the arrow of Ananthrama got pacified.

As per the orders   of the lord of earth, the lord of monkeys

Did the job .within three days, they  built  the pretty dam   and showed him

The squirrels  helped  to build  the dam and got  three lines  on their back,

And their earlier  Karma  vanished

All those  who obey the orders  of the lord, walked  through the dam,

Crossed  the ocean and reached  Lanka , where the mother was there,

Avoiding another birth, avoiding sins , as per the orders,

They built another  war room in the swela mountain.,

They also blew their   drums.

Hearing the arrival of   the bow   as well as  problems,

From the grasses  and bushes,

It was informed  to the king, the wind flew like a wind,

And in the force of the wind  one string of veena of the flag   over the gate was cut.

With twenty nostrils spitting fire, his long  hairs rose up,

In great anger   when twenty  arms pressed twenty hands,

The lions carrying his throne  got crushed,

When the boiling  point of his  anger increased he jumped, shouted

The one  with flag  , the one with veena flag

The single head ache   caught   all his ten heads,

He   who had a strong shoulders felt  great  pain on his shoulders,

The mind of this king who was  already  suffering,

Was consoled  by his maternal  grand father,

He took juice from dharma  and poured in all his twenty ears

“ oh dear grand son, oh  very pretty one, who attracts all,

Oh heroic one  who salutes  Shiva having the moon

It is well known that  you have  lifted the kailasa  mountain,

The fame  which was  very evident before, today is in a thorny patch,

It could get  torn at  any time, It could be destroyed without identification

The cause, the  land of Lanka  has deteriorated ,

He is not Rama, but lord Vishnu  who has come to earth,
Adhi sesha  is his brother-the junior lord,

All the monkeys   are  devas, we  are asuras enemies  of devas,

Who had been  enemies  of each  other  for several eons

Their army  is standing  on path of Dharma,

About  your army, you yourself tell,

Which army  will win and so,

You please  entrust  Janaki to them

If you do like that, this earth  will worship you,

This old man is telling  , please  obey,

Maithili is a scorpion tied by you  on your lap

And that king is  baking you , making you suffer  and watching the fun

For every one  God of death  will come riding on a  buffalo,

But for  you he has come dressed in the hide  of tree.

Hearing the old man’s words , he threw it like a torn cloth

Even if I am completely destroyed  , I will  not agree to leave  that lady,

She is more  important to me  , more than my soul,

The king of Lanka  threw his words like this

Then he climbed the  north eastern tower  and measured,

The army  of monkeys   with his eyes,

He who had measured weight  of snowy mountain by his fingers

Enquiring  with the spy near by , he understood about  who is who?

But  one face which was standing for war was recognized  by him,

By seeing   his blessed form

He who came  as a dwarf  and measured by  his feet,

He  who came  as divine enemy  and broke the  pillar,

He who came  as a boar   and carried  the world,

He who came a turtle  and laid down in bottom of the sea,

Seeing him greatly  shining 

Though  he told by mouth  “Oh this is that  Rama”

He swallowed   with his twenty eyes,

The  first among the trinity and  next moment,

He spit what  he has swallowed and 

Suffered  due   to his great anger.

In spite  of that  for the king of Lanka,

To correct himself   and for him to be sorry,

The son of Dasaratha before  sending  his arrows,

Send Angadha as his  representative

The asura shouted at him “Who are You?”

And angadha  replied

“For releasing his wife , he has sent  an emissary,

Our God, the  first  of the Vedas,

I am his slave, the son of Vali”

The king of asuras  laughed,

He spread   a net of love

The one   who killed  your father,

Is dressing like  Lord  Vishnu and is deceiving you,

He is sitting on your back  and riding on you,

You come to my side, you will get  a gift,

For all monkeys   you would be the king

“Should the lion   get the crown given by a small  fox,

This is really a joke” thinking like that , not  standing  there any more,

Angadha escaped and  reported  every thing  to the lord

The  war started, Fate dug out the  root of Lanka

5.First  war

How long can the white ocean lay  bare without lord of Vedas?

How long can  the vaikunta close  its doors saying  lord has gone to earth?

And so the work for which the incarnation man   has come to earth,

Started  very urgently, The Lanka   was rocked

He who grants  all that is needed  by those who request,

He who lies down on white water, He who    carries,

The consort  of saraswathi  on the lotus of  his belly button

He who sleeps on the bed of serpent which slowly  shakes,

He whose four arms  move and blesses, he who has a lotus flag,

Slowly  moved  his hand, signaling  entry in to  the battle field

The monkey  army  started to enter  in to the  pond of blood

Their  tails became stiff and their four legs became active

Water  stood alround   the  tall walls  surrounding  the town,

Those  legs which did not go in the  water  went in.

All those  who kept   their leg, the crocodiles will bite, chew  , eat and shed tears

The army of seventy vellam wanted to go in the city

The water  of the moat prevented  them

Fill up the moat, ordered  the lord who fills up our stomach,

And he pointed  out to them the  stones  lying all around

Those  hands  that filled the ocean and built  the dam,

Filled up  the moat and when it was   completed,

With sweat drenching them , they shouted  in great joy

The  crocodiles  in the water   crawled  on the ground,

And the crocodiles  crawled  to the   town  and went towards  their homes,

The homes  of the asuras  got greatly scared and everywhere there was tumult

With the ancient  earth shivering, the Kodanda  , on which , bells were tied , made great sound,

And the  ears  of the huge  town  pained,

The ocean of monkeys   which had crossed  the huge ocean,

Surrounded  the fort where the shallow sea  was  ruling,

In that , without any  wind the flag staff   fell  down,

When the  large  number of  lamps   are  lit ,

Would the  flying insects keep quiet, They  spread their wings to  eat the fire

The monkeys and Asuras in great anger  dashed beat, hit with their fist,

They shouted “Ohh”, tore them with their nails,   shouted  in circle

With speed   climbed, covered the face of others, tore out their eyes,

Only trees and mountains were   the weapons  of the  monkey army,

Inspite of that   using them, they broke the  hip bones  of the asuras

Those   who some how escaped were  hit by their hands,

In that  victory  their shoulders became over sized

Some monkeys spun the big   asuras   by wet cloths,

Those  sinners  as they spun  , they shed green   blood

Like that some monkeys  also became  devas by  those asuras,

And  went  to Vaikunta

The trident  , swords  with large number of tips spears,

Sharp arrows were all  were there  with the asuras,

All those  weapons  were  applied   with poison

The monkeys  did not have bow nor spear , but big stones and their teeth,

And the truth  was that  they  never  got scared  by the silly ones

On both sides  there was loss, both sides  got   tired  again and afraid,

An army  of asuras along with chariots, elephants, horses  and infantry,

With   great fierceness marched  along with  the royal avenue,

In the heat  it generated  the street’s  sand became hot,

The horses, the elephants and  over them the jackals  of asura clan

One big asura came riding on the chariot, his name was  Vajra mushti,

As per name  he had  a diamond  like  fist

When he moved his chariot for the war, several  eagles  flew along with them

His   sword and bow  would give  and they will have  a scented  feast

A  great  hero , a valorous  one  with great power.

The courageous one who can churned the earth with his arrows

He entered  in side  the monkey army, and killed  the beings  with tail,

With sword  he killed those  beings with a hunch back

The scared  monkey crowd folded like  dry leaves

Seeing the situation , Sugreeva the son of sun God, himself became  like Sun,

He screamed  in a hot fashion,In the jump he did  , in all directions,

The heat of red fire flew around, In  the hit  that he gave,

The head of Vajra mushti   split in to two

The asura  was caught  by Sugreeva, He  cried in pain,

Sugreeva  rotated  round along with him,

And with this hand he again and again dashed him

Vajra mushti omitted  buckets  of green blood

Later  the king of monkeys  broke his chariot,

And he  killed the asura   who lost his chariot,

The lankan army got split , their elephants  shouted in  pain

Neela was the commander of the  monkey army  in the eastern gate,

He was  a god of death with tail, he was a god of death who can even kick  the horizon,

The asura who came   to fight  him was  Prahastha, He  was a very powerful one,

He was a right hand of  the king of Lanka apart from his ten right hands

If he took his bow and  sends an arrow , he will not miss the  target

The Neela who was like death    tore thisPrahastha  in to pieces,

And he made the hawks   eat  his corpse

Rama appointed Hanuman to  command the  army  in the west gate,

He was  one  who obeyed   the orders of his lord extremely well

He tied the big asuras  who came hit him with a spear by his tail,

He cut  them with his  sword  like fingers

He was one who had  controlled  his five sense organs, he killed  the asura crowd,

Dunmukha   the evil one , The son of anjana  jumped towards him and  cut off his lungs

In the southern gate , like  god of death of south,  stood  Angadha,

He shouted  fiercely, he uprooted the  lanka’s  soldiers,

Who were  the killing roots of the world

Subarisa was evil  by his conduct,another  Mareecha in doing magic

His   capacity  was very great, the  spray of fire  would always be there  in his eyes,

Words   cannot  describe  the trouble  he created  to the  sages

He was a cyclone  coming on a chariot, he was  the huge stone  coming directly

Angadha  killed him and deposited  him with the god  of death

The younger  Lord Lakshmana stood   at the  northern gate and  defeated,

The asuras   who had a  paralyzed  mind and he who has  practiced  killing tigers

For the first time killed  the rats

The news of the mouths of the monkeys destroying   the heads  of many commanders,

When it reached   the ten headed  asuras  through  his servants

His eyes  burnt like the kilns processing lime and he gnashed  his teeth

Making  his long mouths   shiver

He was not able to believe, he massaged  his own shoulders,

And he pinched  himself to verify whether  it was dream or realty

The defeat touched  one   who has  never touched  defeat,

Was  it due to fate  or is it the power  of tails of the monkeys?

This question  roared in the mind of consort  of Mandodhari,

And attached itself   there  like  a monkey

He decided that he will wage war  himself,

He ordered  the chariot  to be brought

6.After  going back today  , come tomorrow

The proud chariot  which   did  not realize  the spiritual truth that

“This body chariot which is  run on blood and water  is a lie chariot

A ghost chariot which   appears  like a pond”

Completely   armed  with weapons, got in to the true  chariot,

It  became  tumultuous   like  a fire

And started  towards  the battle field

That real chariot  was a pretty  chariot  of drama,

Which can fly in forest  or land  without  others  knowing about it

It was a chariot drawn by one thousand  horses,

The one which  was driven by  Indra  earlier,

The one who robbed it and  got bad fame

Went towards  the centre place  where  battle was in progress ,

He was one  who has robbed  the wife of another,

And due to that,  a shameless  man and He  twanged  with one finger  the string   of his bow,

And all  people thought  that due to that  the string of his bow will be cut off,

And due  to that  all the three  worlds shivered

In the great sound   raised by  bow of Ravana which resembled  the thunder

The sea  which  was making sound   suddenly  became silent

The  songs coming out of bamboo grove also  became silent

The  elephants  of eight directions  got scared  and rolled  themselves  like cats

The peaks  of the mountains   got detached and fell like  pieces  of wood

Seeing the  king of lanka who came on his chariot  , the monkey army

Was  surprised  and astounded   and their mouth got opened  and tails  got bent

If he   who has  come  before them was  aporcupine even a rabbit  would  try to fight,

But if it is an elephant  in must  , which rabbit  can oppose it?

In the   heat of the fear , some monkeys got cooked like food offered in yaga

Some   monkeys sobbed  like  children left  as orphans,.

Some monkeys went and hid themselves  in corners  of the royal avenue

And some of them   went away   from the battle field

Sugreeva came and he   threw an axe on the great asura, without  knowing his strength

The asura  by weapon  made  that axe   as useless and  made it  fall on the ground,

And he made  Vai’s brother drowned  in surprise

Ravana   and the son of Sun god  , without interval   fought,

And both  of them   thought   their enemies   were weak

In the end Sugreeva   lost his determination and using,

A sharp arrow , the king  of Lanka   easily  won over him.

Seeing the king of monkeys fall, for powdering  the king of the three  worlds,

Maruthi took hold of a hill and he  aimed and threw it at the  hill of sins

The king of  Lanka powdered  that and  to powder  it  and he used  his strong hand  as sword

Next  Anjaneya uprooted a white Kadamba tree and beat  ,

The king  of Lanka   with it and he  broke  it like firewood

A severe war   broke out between the great one   with a tail,

And the  king of the spear and the  war with arrows   continued

Blood oozed out and dust  rose  up everywhere

When the power  of the enemy increased Ravana   sent,

Hundred divine arrows  obtained  by boon together  on him

And the monkey faced one got tired   and  the one,

In whom dharma  never  retired,withdrew.

Seeing the son of wind god    who was  like right ,

For him and his brother, got  tired by  the hit of the arrows

Lakshmana entered  the battle field and went  on raining  arrows,

On Ravana   which appeared  like   a torrential rain,

And seeing his prowess, the twenty handed one himself  clapped his hands

The arrows  shot from bows  on either side  , the hawks  believed,

Would kill lives but arrow hit the arrow   mid way  and made  it powerless,

And  because  of that the hawks sat   in a corner   and got worried

At the end Ravana sent  the arrow he had  received   from lord Brahma

And hit   the chest   of Lakshmana

Seeing younger  brother  Lakshmana   getting  defeated

The tall  Vishnu made  his   mind  in to a fire,

Due to burning   the black god   became   still  blacker

He  saved  his anger  on his eyes and  by his  fingers,

He lifted  the bow called  KOdanda

By the twang  of the the string of his bow  , he powdered the sky

He resembled  the lion beating   the deer

Hanuman lifted  the lord  on his shoulders and the lotus like god

Hurt the head of the evil   asura using  his arrows

On the lord who created  the universe , Ravana sent  several arrows,

And Rama made   those   arrows  in to torn cloths

Rama sent arrows   after arrows and broke the bow  of the king,

He snatched   his ten crowns, he cut  off his flag  of Veena,

He broke    his white   royal umbrella

He  broke the chariot   and killed  his charioteer

As well horses  of his chariot

He destroyed   the pride  of one,

Who came   with the thought  that no one is equal  to hin

The king of city of Lanka, became  like a beggar  ,

And one second  stood  benumbed

Our lord told him , “You go today and  come some other day.”

7.The debt  for the food he has taken

The   dusk when the mountain of setting , has consumed,

Half the sun

The evening   when followers  of Vedas, do Achamana(inner purification)

Offered water  worship and   did  sandhya  vandhana

The clouds of the evening which were playing  in the sky,

Caught by  the single wheel  of Sun’s chariot,

Broke  in to pieces and sprayed    the red   water  ,

Which made  the bottom part of the sky red like  the  sealing wax

Just like cows  walking  back to their cow shed,

The king of Lanka returned  back to his home,

He who was the one  who  had broken the eight guardians ,

Of the directions   by his chest,

He who had caught   the nine planets  and put them all in jail

He who  by strumming with his hundred fingers,

Created  pretty songs

He who had  strong hands  by  which he lifted  the abode,

Of the God who lifts  the fire   and dances

He who cleaned  his ten toungues using the Vedas   which showed the real form,

He who had been received  by the asuras  due to thousand  year thapas

This king who had been praised in all directions like these till this time,

Had been put down and broke  suddenly in the battle   field

Due to the tears   shed  by his  twenty eyes  , his body swam

The insult made him rock in shame , but the passion   that he had,

On another’s wife was tightly caught  by him

Due to sita , the daughter  of earth was  in his mind,

He walked  back seeing   the earth,

And crossed huge apartments and mansions

The city  withdrew, his relations   went in  to hiding,

The eyes  of all came  out due to scare

Without  seeing any body, he   went to  the ladies quarters,

And  laid himself down on  the wings of swans

Thinking and thinking about his defeat, he suffered

The elephant   that had grown up to the sky,

Became  too small  like a  small dog,

Due to the    a black man holding a bow,

If this was known,

Would not the cloud laugh, would  not water laugh,

Would not the earth laugh, would not the town laugh,

Without thinking any of these, he thought

“That the root of virtue  in the asoka vaa will laugh,

The chariot of Rama will laugh” and became ashamed

And was pained   by his anger

After  becoming  little peaceful, he sent for  four emissaries

Speed of mind,speed of wind, southern breeze  and  great cloud”

“go and get all Rakshasas  and asuras   who live   in the seven large islands  of the world”

And declared it as the royal order

His maternal grand father  malyavan , who came at that  time to his room told

“Oh grand  son, Is it tiredness  due to defeat  in the war? Please tell,

Is it a decision  because  of that, please  explain to me,

I have the lamp to light   your darkness” and he fanned him using a peacock fan

“Oh grandpa, I have faced  innumerable  battles, but not like this,

The  incomparable people , alas  the elder   and younger  brother  in battle field”

It is not easy to describe  by my words, the  stories  of valour drawn by bow by them,

To describe with words   , where  shall I go for suitable   words|

I saw within a moment , the  magic which was enacted   by a divine bow,

With whom did  Rama learn- this knowledge  of sending the arrows?

Oh grandpa  , I was astounded,  I became   a mad man,

Dharma can change its colour, but the arrows of Rama  will not change  its ability

Like this  when  Ravana willingly praised Rama, Malyavan started  talking

“Oh great hero, I told you  earlier  itself that  the one who wears tree hide  is not a man,

He   is lord Vishnu  who has come  in human form, but without bothering my words,

You screamed “nonsense” on that day. I am again telling the same thing,

He who came and stood before you is God, A veda  who came riding  on a monkey,

At least now, accept my words and  raise  the flag of victory of  the clan of pulasthya,

As time passes to continue  would become difficult and after  that,

Your living   would   be impossible”

Minister  Mahodhara ,, replied  in the negative to  what  Malyavan   told,

He is the brother  of   dishonesty   and sin

“oh king , spit  out the cowardice like a coward,

Even if it does  not get  meat  , the   tiger will  not eat grass, “ please  tell this to your grandpa

Should the king  of Lanka get confused?

Should you  wail like  this after coming to the bed room?

Would  eyes  glimmer  to the Sun?

 If you get scared, the heaven will talk , bad about you

Falling and getting and getting up   and falling are   epic truths,

A king who has conquered  all the eight directions, feeling  like this,

Is unadulterated   feminineness .

Don’t you have people, Don’t you have shoulders  to obey your orders?

Call  your sibling  Kumbhakarna, the varuna who can rain victory  in the battle field,”

Next moment the king of asuras ordered”Go   and bring  my dear brother, the elephant 

Who dresses  himelf”, he threw  the advice  of his grandpa   in the air 

Without   knowing  that Ravana is down  , his sibling   was sleeping.

He was  The god of death  who has came alive.

If he stands  , his head   will touch the sky,

If he walks the earth   will sweat, if he sits  , the eight directions  will rub with each other,

If he lies down,  the earth   will find it difficult   to breath,

He was a big valorous one  , but he ate  a lot, Hundred vessels  of  cooked  elephants,

Several buckets full  of fried  lions , hundred pots  of seasoned chicken, several  vessels

Full of cooked goats and bones  of elephants and further  cartload  of food etc etc

Eating like that  and sleeping was his life but he was a wise  one who could

Recognize    the truth and the lies

The servants Ranvana kicked , beat  , jumped on him   and pinched   and some how

Woke him up  and escaped   with their souls and they   told the news to him

Next moment, he  saluted  his elder  one who was famous and stood there

“Oh younger brother who floats in food and sleep, oh sweet  brother,

Two men and monkeys   have surrounded  our town and are  fighting war with us,

Many  of our great warriors are  no more, You go   and kill those  bad ones,

You cook them and eat them”

 When Ravana told like this  Kumbhakarna became sad

And he   argued

“ oh elder brother, has   the battle  of  Dharma started?, How many  of the soldiers

Of army   will  die daily”

 Were  you not cursed  by Nandi , that your death   would be due to monkeys.,

Would it become truth today?

Did not Vedavathi tell you, earliier“I will come alive again   and drink your life”.

Will it become judgment  of the  Vedas  today?

The  moon of Vedas  called Maithili, The moon filled  with  virtue, is she in prison still?

Will she be there  till all of us die?

Oh dear   elder brother

 Till the  day   when Sita will be  wearing    a single cloth, she looks like  a hen.

But she is a  serpent 

Spitting poison through her  eyes decorated by kajal

Please hear me, leave Sita or lie down on  your funeral pyre,

Whatever  decision , you want take it now” the dear brother lit the lamp of wisdom,

The elder brother  scolded him

“You are a coward, eat  and eat  and sleep fat, with lot of  fat, lie like a fruit

After  the time   comes  , die   and lie down

My other  brother and you are silly  people brought up as cowards

The idiots who are  scared of  a man    and the monkey,

I will myself   fight  the battle, I will myself drive  my chariot

I thought you are  a scorpion, you are not , you are  harmless  insect”

When Ravana  told like this  Kumbhakarna cried, he fell at his 

Brother’s feet  and saluted him

“My elder one, If what I told  you is wrong  , pardon me, do not keep my words in your mind,

I have agreed for the war, because  I am indebted  to the food you gave me,

But one thing, this is the last day that eder  brother talks with  the younger,

I will  disappear , eaten by Rama’s Kodanda,

Atleast afterwards,  leave  the lady called Sita so  that  you will not die”

The good one  , held the spear, he took  the  rope, that  god of death

8.Kumbhakarna  entered  the battle field

In   the chariot drawn   by  thousand  horses , elephants and  tigers with a flag   of lion,

The chariot came rushing  and due to  that,

The dust rose  up to the sky and though in the chariot  pots and pots of starch   was there,

Due to Kumbhakarna sitting there  , the smell of alcohol spread on all four sides

The asura crowd   having a body like store house of  paddy sitting on horses

Accompanied him and it looked   like death

Seeing  the four type of  army marching towards them, the  army  of monkeys got scared

And  their tails folded like centipede,

 Holding   the trident  , the person was

Resembling god of death  standing  on the chariot,

Rama asked

“Vibheeshana, see  this hero, any one will wonder  his power  and strength,

And they will sweat  in fear

If  he is ccompared  to Ravana  , Ravana  would come as second

Does this majestic  moon has  a waning period”?who is he? Do you know him?

Is he the starting  point of the valour  of  the Rakshasas, Please  tell me  about him”

And Vibheeshana   explained

“oh he is younger to my elder  brother, and I  am younger  to him,

His name  is Khumbakarna, out clans  Black aruna

Praying  the god who took  the poison, he got his  trident,

With that  he has  taken the lives   of Devas,

In his capacity   he equals my brother but in doing sins,

He will  not agree   with him

Though he  has come in chariot to the battle field,

He is one   who never  swerves   away from the right path

He twice told Ravana  that it is not proper to steal other’s wife,

Not liking   those  sweet words  , Ravana   shut  all his twenty ears,

And then only  this great  one retired saying  “Fate  is stronger”

And has entered   this great   battle field

When Vibheeshana told like this the monkey  ,

Sugreeva  told Rama,

“oh person of good character, it is a waste   for us to kill  this Khumbakarna,

It is wise   to  draw him   to our side “

Immediately Vibheeshana 

Went to to the mountain of  good who has  come to see,

The mountain of corpses, fell at his feet   and saluted  him

Khumbakarna   was upset, he shook   his feet

“Oh younger  brother, you  have   escaped  from the mistake,

Feeling like this I became very happy,

Why did   you to leave  the perfumed flowers

And come in search  of this evil smelling stool, go , go away

Go back   to the place   from  where  you have come”

“Due to  our elder brother ,  our clan will get a  bad name

And it will one day  definitely go away because of my younger  brother,

I thought why are  you  spoiling my wish by throwing mud on it?

Did the field of Dharma Rama   refuse   to accept you”

The   quick beating  of the mind of sibling touched   the mind  of Vibheeshana,

For one second   words did not come   and sat  on his throat  itself

He hesitated little and then talked

“elder brother, the treasure of Dharma has calculated   your  capacity,

And  he  requested me to  bring  you   with me.

The kingship of  Lanka was given to me  by my lord,

I will make  it yours and  I will  spend my life  as your servant .

pLease come with me, Oh  my brother who has never done a mistake”

“oh my boy, whether  he is elder  brother  or an outsider,

If each one of us   do not carry our own sorrow,

We will feel sad but if we  carry his sin,

WE will get more sin,

When a person walks in light  , his shadow  will come with him

But if he walks  in darkness  , the  shadow   will   go away”

Vibeeshana  told

“To our elder brother  both of us are  like his shadows,

I have moved away, you also move away  , the world will praise you”

Likle this Vibheeshana  explained  his position.

Khumbakarna laughed with sorrow

“Oh my brother  , who had got the boon of no death,

You  have joined the divine capital and  have ,
got rid of your  previous karma

I am one who has eaten salt of our brother who has done mistake

Only to repay the debt  , I have come to the battle field

A thing  that cannot be avoided,  is that Kodanda  will cut off our heads,

Who will   do after  death rites?

Oh brother , if you are still  here, you will die,

You would become the victim   for the hatred of Asuras on you.

Go away from here, That way  is proper to you,

Which way  is proper to whom is decided  by their fate

Hearing   the words of Elder  Kumbakarna,

In the holy man’s eyes, water  flowers flowered

Vibheeshana  saluted him and took leave  of him  by the  language of his eye,

Seeing the way  that younger brother goes, Kumbhakarna shed  tears,

That  was tears  from his heart

Again the war started, chariots flied, the town became tired, and the roots split

When the both   armies fought, all places  became wet with blood

Putting thilaka of blood  , the country of Lanka  became  Sumangali

And the ladies of the asuras   stayed as widows

The asuras  burnt like fire, they  roamed like ghosts  of midnight

Many asuras  sitting on horses, making the fourteen words  shiver

Came with axes and gave  meat of monkeys as food to those   axes

In the attack of asuras , some monkeys   went to heaven,

Some monkeys  became  those  who have disappeared

But in spite of that  the monkey army , jumped and rose  up

It prayed the name of Rama   and rose up

It rose up   stamping  on the earth of Lanka

Without their   leg of tail   touching the earth they jumped,

They  applied the blood  of asuras and combed  their  long hair,

With the killing  instinct affecting their brain  they shouted  like birds of death

Kumbhakarna brought his golden chariot and parked it in the middle of battle field

And rotated  his great spear and  peeled  of the  skulls of the monkeys

He  pierced   with his spear  the monkeys  who came war and pushed them to a corner,

He took the monkeys which came near him and crushed them, keeping them in hia arm pits

And some  monkeys he burned  only  with the heat of his hand

He made  in to small pieces  the rocks thrown by  the monkeys,

And made  the trees which they  brought  in  to fire wood

And then he felled Neela , the one  with a strong tail,

who came  to fight with him

Similarly he fell easily  Angadha who came to fight   with him

And  immediately Hanuman raised his shoulder  and challenged him

“Oh great valorous hero, I would  uproot this huge mountain  standing here

And throw it on you, And if you stand   firm in spite  of that, I will praise you

And would   also be scared to fight   with you

Kumbhakarna   with  all his heart  accepted what  Maruthi told,

But Maruthi got defeated, and at this  time Lakshmana ,

Came  in between and fought  with the Rakshasa  in between

He cut of the heads  of evil  person like  matches,

Kumbhakarna appreaciated   his prowess,

And  told , “He  is a  pure  hero”

For one moment Kubhakarna praised  the Sumithra’s son

Who was husband of Urmila   and the next moment  chided him

“Oh Lkshmana, my hands   are  pretty maidens,

The lady  of our clan, ganga without  anything  is Surpanakha

Without any hesitation, you cut  off her busts,

And today my lady   will  cut off your hands, If I cut , my sister  will be happy,

Saying this  he lifted   his sword, the  younger brother of  king of Lanka

Angadha hit him    with   a mountain,

Shouting in a big way Kumbhakarna sent his spear  on Sugreeva,

The son of wind God caught  it and made  it in to powder

With fierceness  raising to the top Kumbhakana  ,

Hugged  Sugreeva   and started pressing him, He spun him like rope

He  pressed so that his  chest bones   would get shattered, He made  his tall form short

Sugreeva   was in great suffering, he could not speak,

His eyes went up, he  spit  blood

At the end   Sugreeva  fainted,

Carrying Sugreeva on his shoulders , Kumbhakarna ran towards his town

Seeing all  this   the  monkey   army   wailed  loudly

9.He paid his debt

When Kumbhakarna carrying   Sugreeva  like a wet towel,

And like  a burning flame   was about to enter  his town,

Rama, who was born as

 The lion of Dharma   came   and stood  before him

And   surrounded   him by  a fence  of arrows

“Rama  only to make  you come  I carried him,

Left  the battle field and came  towards  my  town,

Buffalos   and Buffalos only  will fight  with each other,

They will not  think fighting with  pig is shameful,

Only   you are equal to me, And  only I am equal  to you,

If possible take  your bow   and break me,

It would be difficult  for  your Kodanda   to free,

The son of Sun God   who is in my hand. If you are  able to free,

You can easily   free your wife who is filled  with virtue”

Like this Khumbakarna   made  fun  of Kodanda   Rama,

He pinched  him with his words

“Oh huge Asura, I will  make you fall, if not, I will never touch this bow”

Saying this Lord Rama took two arrows    and send them aimed,

At the middle of his eye brows,He fell down on earth    and shed blood

Made wet by   his blood   Sugreeva  regained  his consciousness

He bit off the ears   and nose   of Khumbakarna    and went towards battle field

When he lost his nose   and ears, Khumbakarna   became very wild

He entered   the monkey army   and started  killing them with his sword

Jambhavan told “Oh lord, to keep this asura  in this earth is bad,

Sent your arrow  on  his life spot” and Rama   agreed

Sending numerous arrows one by one  he cut off the hands,

Legs  of Khumbakarna,Next moment the brother of Asura king,

Opened  the screen of ignorance  hiding his mind  by himself

The  ocean of valour Khumbakarna crossed  the ocean of Karma,

He asked  for two boons’  Oh Rama  you should protect,

My younger brother from the hand sword  of Ravana,

Please accept this   as my request

Vibheeshana stood in the way  of justice, but  I stood by my caste,

And that is he who stood by justice, should live long,

Another request.I do not want to live with a cut nose

Let this dirt which came to me come to an end

By an arrow cut off my head and  without   any body seeing,

It  bury it in the depths of the ocean”

The lord appreciated    the requests of Khumbakarna and made  him climb to Vaikunta

When things were like this

Ravana the Rakshasa  who was wandering like dark moon ,

With passion   sawing  his mind  in to bits,

Became   thin like grass,

Like the mirror hit by the  flower arrow  , he broke in to pieces

Keeping  the dangerous passion   on the very prosperous Sita,

He wailed   and shouted

After that

Agreeing  to  the cheap advice  of his ministers,

Ravana to  make sita   agree  to his desire, approached  the great Asura called Marutha

Who is notorious for his ability  to change forms,

And made   him  in to  Maya  Janaka and made him stand  before  Maithili,

And made  her mind   worried

When Sita got shattered on seeing her father,

He became happy and then made  love talk to her

“Oh  sweet one, Agree  to my desire”  Like this,

I have  not begged  to any one accept youi

I have seen only   females   saluting me,

And never  seen a lady   who did not agree  to my desire,

Only  you are  refusing, you are murming to join with me,

And you    are  scolding me  in your mind,

That is why , I summoned   your father, to advise you,

If you do not agree still, my  sword would like to cut off your father’s head

Sita  the  very innocent one  who did not know deceit   talked  with Janaka

“oh my father, who has been a king , who has been a sage,

Who has been the assembly,

 where  ancient dharma Comes  and joins daily,

is this the prize  you are giving  to giving birth  to me,

Are   you  longing   to serve  this evil one?

You are  one who has performed Yaga and you are  the Vedas

And this evil one  is asking  you some thing evil,

Is this the work of fate?is it the evil  which flows  out of my mind?”

Then the Maya  Janaka  told

His words flowerd like water  of gutter

“oh my dear   darling daughter,

That  sky never has the wealth that  this king has,,

Give  the prettiness  given by your fate  to him,

I can become   great because of it, because you   are my relation.

Would you be his or would you  make  him kill me?

Sita  shut her  ears   with her hand  and hissed “ bad, worse”

And then pinched  him with the sword  which are  her words

‘Was this talked by my father?  What  I thought as silk, is it torn cloth?

Are you Janaka or an ordinary  broker?”

After   asking these questions Sita   sobbed and shed ,

Hot water drops  through her eyes

“Oh so this  is your father?  Is he mad one?

Would you  not cry, if he is cut off’

 Saying this   Ravana

Took his sword  with  wet blood     to cut that  Maya  Janaka.

At that time, the news  of his  brother’s death came,

And Ravana   became extremely sad    and shivered and went away.

Without talking with any body,  the king of lanka , went to

Talk  to the walls of his  bed room.Without any one knowing

Taking in to account  the shame it may cause, he started ,

Weeping   within himself

After he left  , daughter of vIbeeshana  told that,

That the  one who came as Janaka was an imposter,

And she removed   her sorrow

Ravana was shattered  to hear aboutthe death of his  younger brother,

He thought whether  it is the leaf   shedding  autumn  in the garden of Rakshasa,

Is it the time  of fall of  the head  of incomparable  warriors  of Lanka?

Thinking and thinking like this , Ravana  became as thin as a twig

At that  time  Athikaya came, He  watered  the dry heart of his father

He said,

“Oh father, we   are  clan of asuras, let us preserve  the fame we earned,

For our thought  , worry is not proper, My sword   is idle,

It has been inside  its case  only   for a long time,

Give a chance  to make   it bright   with coat  of blood,

I will break   the hips   of our enemies  , leave  out this worry”

Like this  Athikaya  begged   the  king of lanka ,Ravana 

Put his signature  of agreement  by his eyes

Dhanyamala  was another wife  of Ravana, Athikaya,

Who was born to her was another Vali in his   proficiency

He did not  know   the four letter  word   called fear,

Though  crashed   by elephants his chest  and hip bones  never broke,

He  was the one  who scratched  his nose  in thought  in battle field

Even Indra    did not  have valour   equal to him,

He had  received  , difficult   to receive boons,

His father  should   have   become proud of him

Kumbha, Nikumbha, akambha, along  with this crowd,

Athikaya   entered   the battle field,

And he   tore   through it,

 He  removed  the souls,

From  bodies of several  monkeys

Unable to  kill or make  him fall  , Lakshmana   was confused,

He was hesitant  even to   take his bow,

Then God  of wind came personally  and said,

“Oh Lakshmana, he can be killed by Brahmastra  only”

Lakshmana  obeyed  him  and killed  Athikaya  by Brahmastra

Hearing  the death  of this young leaf , Lanka shook

That day  Akshaya Kumara  and this day  Athikaya.

Both these calves  were sent  to battle fiend  ,

By their own parent   to get  killed, shouted Indarjith

Then holding his bow , he started  to the battle field

Lakshmana  was waiting  in the battle   field,

Expecting   the   arrival of Indrajith

Vibheeshana told him

“one who  is greatly valorous hero ,  whose prowess cannot be

Described by words, Taking the bow 

In his right hand  , he  has  killed  very many devas”  he said

10.Indrajith

“Indrajith is the seed  of Ravana,

Indra  will salute him thinking   he is Brahma

He will come in a golden  chariot, with

Victory umbrella    and full of weapons

Unable   to bear   his weight, milk will spit out the foam,

The chariot   suffered, the   very great  earth also would blink

He would enter   the battle field like   a   God  of death,

And within half a second he will  return to fort  killing all,

He performs magical war  hiding himself  in clouds

He was one who waged  war   and killed  the devas

He will not take in his hand valorous arrow,

Once he takes , he will rest  taking out  the liver”

Knowing the  prince who can show magic  

And wage war  hiding in the clouds is coming

The monkey army was greatly scared,

And  it  happened    as per  their expectations

Indrajit, similar to plough   going through wet field,

Ploughed away   the monkey army  sitting in the chariot

With the hand sword that  he took he  cut monkeys  in to two

He   made   their  head   and body separate, Seeing this,

The young lord sent  fire arrows, killed   several   asuras,

He made them food    for   birds  to eat

The archery war between  Indrajith   and Lakshmana

Went on   without a break, There was   war of words  ,

Among monkeys     as to who   will  win the battle

Both the archers ,  were  not  of the type  ,

Who will  sell their respect  just for living?

Would it be possible  for devas  who stood in the sky ,

To predict who    will win?

In between when Indrajit  got tired slightly,

Vibheeeshana said, “Lakshmana  the day time is ending,

The night  time  would come soon

If night  comes  Indrajith would do war  of magic,

He will roam , without  us  knowing   where he is?

So Now itself shoot   arrows at him,

Later  in the pitch darkness  it is impossible  to see him”

Knowing the trick Lakshmana sent an arrow,

Before it was shot, Indrajith hiding in the cloud   sent 

The arrow of serpents and made, the entire monkey army,

Hanuman, Lakkshmana  except  Vibheeshana  fell down fainted

And then through the sky he   drove his  chariot back to his home

Thinking that  Lakshmana   and Hanuman   are dead  Rama shed tears,

Vibheeshana told him , “This is not death  but faint’    and reduced his pain  slightly

The devas and their king  who stood  on the sky were upset by sorrow,

And they  thought Dharma was  defeated”

Only Garuda understood, That  he who   stood in the battle field with tears,

Is Narayana who sleeps   on the  ocean of milk and

He came down  stood worshipping  that god and he went  round,

All of them thrice   and went back

When Garuda opened his long wings  its  shadow,

The wind fell on the faces  of all those  who were lying faint,

And tie  of the serpent left

When the news that  tie of serpent had left, the devas ,

Became like  a bud opening in to a flower   and were  extremely  happy

And all the asuras   seeing this  bent their head

Like the angry cyclone  Indrajith    shouted   in anger,

Indrajith again boarded  the chariot and  started  the war

The lion of sumithra  made a challenge, “I will  alone fight ,

With indrajith   who toed  all of us, I will cut  off his head

And keep it before your feet,” The  pure gold broke in to  a smile

This time Indrajith  decided   that he will  kill  the enemy  by magic,

As per the decision  of the prince, the  minister  Mahodhara,

Took the  form of Indra

Some asuras   changed in to saints and with hatred  screamed at Lakshmana

Wondering whether  he can lift   the  weapon  when  the devas

And the  sages   are  unhappy with him” Whether  Dharma  itself,

Not following Dharma, attack Dharma?

The brother of Rama for a few  seconds lost  his attention

Indrajith thinking  that this is the  right opportunity ,

Sent Brahmastra  towards them, That arrow,

Changed in to thousands  hit Lakshmana , Sugreeva

And many others and made  them fall in the ground,

It made  them look like  they were dead

Thinking   that his  brother was dead  , Rama also fell down

“oh my shadow , Oh my soul which walked  outside my body,

Right from your birth , you thought that,   , except for sleep and eating  ,

Serving me  was more important, Oh Dharma  who came  with me,

Oh great  penance  that  I had  done earlier, Oh great  scholar,

Oh my another father, Did you come to forest  to die like this”

Like this the lord Wailed   and fainted

The news that  Lakshmana died and unable to beat  it  Rama also  died,

Was received  with  great  joy by Ravana

He ordered the servants to make Sita   climb on a plane

And show her the scene of the death  of her husband  and brother in law

Seeing from the plane which flew low, the godly Sita  seeing that  her

Lord and Lakshmana   who were born to live,  lying dead

Wailed with all  the  eight   directions   shivering

“Oh my husband  , I was thinking  one day you will  save me,

And  accept me and   I never  ever imagined  that

You will be defeated  by God of death?

I kept quiet feeling you will free  me  from prison and 

I never  imagined   you will  ask back   my kumkum

I lived thinking you will kill the enemy,

I never expected  you will  deceive  me like this”

Crying like this Sita shed  her tears   like a river

Trijata     who was  with her  consoled  her.

“Oh Vaidehi, this  plane will not tolerate widows,

And because  it is still  carrying you,

Your Rama is still there  without being defeated  by  Yama”

Getting some clarity by   the talk of Trijata,

Sita returned   to Asoka vana

Every where  it became dark, Vibheeshana sprinkled,

Some  water in the face of Hanuman and he woke  up,

Right from the middle of corpses and at  that time,

Jambhavan came in search of   the son of wind God

He  hugged him  and   made him take bath  in his tears  and told

“OhHanuman you very great and greatly capable,

Assume  your super  mega form, climb on the sky,

Go to   SAnjeevi mountain and bring  the three  medicinal plants,

That I note down. There only   these  are  available

They  only can give life  back  to those who are dead”

Maruthi  climbed up  upon the sky,

When he stepped on the mountain , Maruthi,

Forgot the names  of the medicinal plants and he,

Uprooted the mountain itself   and reached  Lanka

As soon as the wind  of the  medicinal mountain fell on them,

All the dead woke up, just like they were  born afresh

This news reached  the ears  of Indrajith,

It bit  him like   a scorpion

11.The last  battle in Lanka 

The  Ravana took bath in pond of honey,

When he heard that king of Sita   died  in the battle field.

With  Very pretty   red eyed ladies, singing several songs,

Distributed  different dishes and ladies   who were  like lily flowersw

Danced along with proper beats

He was lying with  ladies with  very thin hips

And with god of love, like he was  greatly enjoying

The  one   with twenty hands and   who has body  with colour of shadow

When he   was  enjoying  ebbing with happiness

Withgreat musicians singing and pretty ladies dancing,
on  the thick  pillows

The spy who came in the shape of bee  told   in his  ears

“Rama  the cause of Vedas has  risen back  with life”

Ravana raised his  twenty eyes to the top,

And leaving  out his great pride  , he looked like a beggar

His son came and  consoled his father  who was greatly  shattered

He who has won over   country of Indra, told  about his plans ,

To   put an end   to the joy  of his enemies

“Oh father, Even when with  lot of care  I shoot  them with any arrow,

The enemies  will get  to life   with the SAnjeevi leaf,

They will spit  on our face  and talk ill of us,

And bending   the bow called  KOdanda  they  will  challenge us for war

And so father, I will carry out  Yaga  in Nikhumbila

And make that  bad crowd  unable to straighten

And make them in to dust within a second

But one thing, those silly people  have ,

My father’s brother as spy who supplies them our blood

And who is pig of slushy mud

If he hears   about my performing yaga , he will ask them to spoil it

I also have kept another  way to prevent  that  type  of danger also

This  Indrajith’s great  wisdom will  give him hundred ways”

After blessing, he sent his son to  the battle field,

That  very bad one, who had been hit  by several arrows,

AS soon as he reached the battle field,

Indrajith converted  one Asura  in to Sita and cut him before Hanuman by his sword

And he  went up the sky and said,

He would go to Ayodhya   and kill  every one

Seeing the mother  being cut by the sword by the son of Ravana,

Hanuman felt as if  somebody  was pressing his neck

And fainted   and fell  on the earth

Thinking about it,  when the lord   and his brother,

Wailed  rolling  on the earth,

Vibheeshana  took the form of a bee  and went  to asoka vana

He saw  Sita there and returning back,

He told Rama  that  Sita is safe

Hearing that  the  good lord got   back his life

And understood   that , “She who was  killed was a magic Sita”|

At that time Vibheeshana told him an urgent news

“Oh lord , If Indrajith completes  the Yaga and Nikumbila

There  will not be any one in the  world  who can win over him and

So we have  to stop  that yaga, so that that  eventuality will come to us”

Lord  ordered his brother  to spoil that yaga becase,

The lord decided  he is the most suitable  person to do that

Along with  Hanuman, Angadha, son of sun God, Vibheeshana,

Accompanied   by a great  monkey army, Lakshmana started

He went in to the hall where  yaga was done and  sent his arrows

He rubbed  of the Yaga  which indrajith  was performing

In the pit of fire and  destroyed his vehicle  and other help by his bow

Indrajith returned to his palace with blood dripping all over his body  through the sky

Seeing that  his father  boiled with anger

With anger the king of lanka asked , “Was your Yaga  only half done?”

“Oh father Lakshmana  easily stopped   the arrows that I sent and took away

All my strength   by a single arrow.All the divine arrows I sent  did not pierce him,

But they went round him and   saluted  him

Oh Father   who sits royally  in my  thoughts, Please  hear what I have to say

Please leave out your passion to Sita which causes  death to us.

The clan of asuras  will stay alive and  the  earth of Lanka will get saved”

When Indrajith   told him like this, Ravana  got very angry against him

He threw  very boiling   words at his son, so that all his body got baked

“Is it my son who is talking to me or is it  some silly feeble insect,

Did my soul,  boil lead   and pour it in my twenty  ears,

Does my  strength  to fight  depend on your silly strength

I believed in myself  and took   the bad name,

And I know   very well   about  my fate,

If you can  destroy the enemy, if not,

Do you  think  I do not have   any  other way?

I may even give away my soul but never  give up Sita whom I brought

I will never  think of leaving her  and get  laughed at by  other kings and be shamed

I would never  lose  my  respect till  I die,

This is the decision  which  I have  taken myself

If I die , I will  get  the greatness  which no body can get

Yes  , till the name  of Rama stands  , the name of Ravana  will  also stand

And the earth   will understand  what  is meant by  “never  fading fame”

Seeing that  he got  to fight  with enemies  himself

The meganadha(indrajit)  kneeled  before  him requested his pardon and again  entered the battle field

This time Lakshmana repeated  the name  of Rama thrice ,

And fixed  it in his mind and requesting  for the blessings of that lord

He  kept a crescent  tipped  arrow  on his bow.

“If  Rama who has come carrying a bow, is the one,

Who is the truth residing in heaven, Please go and get  the head,

Of the son of him who lifted the mountain of Lord Shiva”

Telling like this to the arrow in his hand,

The lion of Sumithra, the gold  which became hot without fire,

Sent the arrow  that he had

Yes, as  per his prayer,  the arrow rose up and cut  off the head of Indrajith,

The earth became red, the heaven lost  its fear  and laughed

When he   who ruled  the island,and he who has ten toungues

Heard the news, that  his son had died and the war  has overtaken him”

He  became torn like a cloth

The ego   which had  filled up within him , some what got destroyed

He went to battle field   and   got the headless body  of his son,

Kept it on his lap, fondled it  Wailed  in a weak voice 

“Oh my son Indrajith and called “Oh God:”

Mandodhari seeing her husband   return with headless  body,

Of their son  fainted-She who was the address  of clan of great ladies

The Ravana  stopped crying and orderd his emissaries  “Summon 

Our moola bala army

All the army came and heaped up , the army armed  with spears

The root of all roots, stood alone and finished  off that  entire army,

Holding KOdanda  in his soft hands

The moola  army became  a useless  non existing one

Ravana  who shot the  magical spear  on the chest  of Lakshmana

And made  him fall on the ground heard   that,

Rama had broken the back bone of Moola army” and  it

Broke completely his pride  and  ego

He called   the  council of ministers urgently

And he  made  oration of challenge  keeping his hand on the sword

“The end battle has come, Who were  is remaining  come with me

Who will become a widow, is it Vaidehi or the very pretty Mandodhari?

This  final battle will tell”

The drums made sound, the army moved

The sin and dharma opened   their shop

Who will live? Who will fall?  The question came up

And   the answer was got

The  Indra’s chariot came to earth,, the root of the God   Got in to it

The army  and army got in to the field   and killed each other,

Using several weapons, The battle field   was filled with hill of corpses

The  Country of Lanka saw a blood bath

The asuras fell hit by the monkeys,

From every home the wail  of wives arose

When Mahodhara  died in the battle field, Ravana  got angry

At the Lord   who was standing on the field  of Dharma

He sent  great arrows on  Sri Rama by his great  arrows cut them all

Ravana    send sent divine arrows like Mohasthra, Nagasthra and

Rama cut all of them by the Garuda asthra

Rama within his mind told a prayer   at the end,

Sent  Brahmasthra on the great asura

That  pierced the chest  of Ravana and took away  his golden life

He was killed  and his soul was taken

By  the sharp arrow of  some one else’s wife

12.Fire  took fire bath 

The valour  that  had spread  earlier  in all eight directions

Had  fallen on earth,

The chest  which had  expanded  like horizon

Had now  become broken down and

Had become   dark  like night

And the milk  of passion that  had rained towards sita

Had curdled

Vibheeshana  wailed,

He  shuddered  with his  body   shaking and shaking

“Oh elder brother, Oh life  of all asuras,

Oh Ravana   with   great power and shine,

Oh king of this island

With mouth that  chanted  Sama veda  , you chanted  passion?

Oh sir, why did you with  your hand  that lifted  the mountain,

Lift  a lady’s virtue?

I told you several times and  increased  your problems,

You did not bother  about what I told,

You played   the drum of war,

The curse  given by  Vedavathi and arrow   sent by lord Rama

Has made the moon of  clan, in to a little  lamp

And they  have  poured  pitch darkness on head of asuras  forever.”

Vibheeshana  poured  the river  of tears

Jamhavan  wiped his tears  and consoled him

The  crowd  of  asura  ladies  cried “alas and alas”

Till their toungue pained  and till that island shook

Spreading out her hair,  wiping  out her kumkum

To see her husband’s face   she came running

The lady  who was garlanded  by  the king of Lanka,

Another Sita

Like a cut tree  she fell on the chest  of the king of kings

That Mandodhari who was daughter of Maya   and wailed

She drove away the  flies hovering round  the corpse  of  her darling,

And  threw flowers of her   tears on him

“Oh king of kings, The  head of  this slave.

Oh drum making  victory sound   which drowned,

The three  worlds  which give  you tribute

Did he who shower his valour against  the sky

Got defeated by a deer,

Through the chest  which even  the tusks of

The  elephants  of directions   could not pierce,

Did an arrow enter?

Why did  you leave  and go far away   from me,  who was proud,

That I am the consort  of the emperor  of the three worlds?

Did not time steal away  my flower  because 

The lady called Sita whom you put  in prison , felt bad?

In those   days  of youthfulness ,when you should be happy,

You controlled your senses, gave away  sleep   and hunger

And did Thapas and  made  Shiva tremble

In this time when you should practice  that control of senses

You did not  pay attention to it?

Did it not   take  away  your head?

After  doing  mistake after mistake  you  went off from this world.

You missed all the chances  when your brothers,

Advised you again and again   to  reform yourself

Oh lord   loving another  man’s wife, you  lost yourself

Because  you lost yourself  , I lost the golden baby  ,

Whom I nurtured singing lullabies?

Like  I lost  gold that day, I lost you,

Who gave me flower  and put  thilaka on my forehead

Oh soul, because  I lost you, see , I am loosing myself”

Saying  these  she feel dead  on her husband’s   chest

She who was the  queen of  Lanka, the queen of ladies,

Who in later days would be included, i

In the list  of five   great ladies

Seeing a good lady sorrowing and dying, the world sorrowed

The  earth of  Lanka   sorrowed, The eyes of asuras shed tears

The  poem of the  third Veda  which Ravana composed became sad.

Lord told Vibheeshana  to lit the funeral pyre of  Ravana

The brother  of the  king of Lanka  hesitated

“Oh lord, my brother, fixing his  mind on passion,

Had  lost  his thoughts,If I keep him on the pyre

And lit fire to it, tomorrow  all the world,

Will find fault   with me

Rama talked,in his talk , he wafted like a  breeze

“oh Vibheeshana, your elderbrother  is a matchless  hero

The very courageous one   who was  praised  by devas  and others

How your brother is to you, today he  is like that me

After  one person dies you should not have  enmity  on him

After the fire is put out, does  the smoke  stand above it?

Vibheshana as  per the words  of Rama ,

Completed  the rituals   as per rules

He lit fir e to the  pyre  after keeping on it,

His brother  and his wife  on it together

And later  he did the rites to all his  relations,

Who had lost his life  in the  war and gave them good position in other world.

Rama wanted to fulfill the word he had given to  father  of Trijata

Previously and sent  Lakshmana   along  with Vibheeshana

And before Malyavan   got him crowned

Peace  returned  to Lanka, joy  budded  there

Whatever  the good people of Lanka wanted  , that happened

Later  Antharama called  Anjaneya and told him,

“Oh Anjaneya, go to Asoka vana,

And tell her all that happened  in this war”

Next moment  Anjaneya   went to Asoka vana

“Oh mother, The dharma  which is being  saluted by Vedas

Has  risen up again and   the sin broke down and

The tree called  sin  , due to breakage of its branch

Has fallen down, Kodanda   has won, Oh lady  of sterling  character.

Just by one arrow it ate  away  that tyrant”

Saying this  , the one who has  won over  the world by his character,

Stood   saluting her,

Due to  over flow of emotions  , for one minute  she became dumb lady

By locking   the door  of her mouth

Later   she opened  the door of flower   called  the golden lips,

That  lady  who was got married  by our God

“Oh Maruthi  , Oh My another  mother

You poured  pure  honey   in to my ears,

Only due to you  , I have  arisen  from the dead

You came just like the black  God who saved,

The elephant  who fell in to  the mouth of crocodile,

What  compensation  can I give  it to you?

Oh great one, if we  keep all the world  in one pan of the balance

And keep you  in another pan, your pan will go down,

Would the seven worlds  , ever be equal to you?

In spite of that, Oh one who put an end to my troubles,

I have a duty  to do some thing good to you

Ask  , I will  try to give”

Asked the mother

Hanuman asked  , “I should  always.

Think  yourself  only  as my  mother”

The mother gave, the son saluted.

At that  time Vibheeshana came and  gave her a request.

“Oh pure one , The lord asked me to get you dressed  in new sari

And new  ornaments, He who  whose hand grants  protection.

Sita  , the lady  without any dirt  or stain

“Oh sweet one, only if I come like this,the lord will  understand

About the penance  that I did and the sufferings I underwent,

The  people  of the world also will know”

Vibheeshana said, “These  are the words of the Lord”

And the pure  plant  of Thulasi  followed him

Beauty  was beautified and  was  taken

Before  the  man of beauty and stood   saluting him

“Oh daughter  of Janaka, you were  imprisoned and so you have  been stained,

You were touched by the passionate one, so you  have lost  your virtue

Would the  great asura  would have  simply left you?

He  would have touched you.He would have given

A hit  on the head of the greatness of your clan

Possibly  you would have  got meat   and toddy  ,

As much as you want in the palace  of king of Lanka?

After  eating lot, did  your belly  become more than full.

I  bent my bow to kill that silly fellow , who thought me as silly,

Not  to  save  the traitor like you

In the world, just by birth of you,  the old dharma was destroyed

The family life got thinned , the dharma of virtue was destroyed

Go away  from here

It is better  that you go  , even better  if you die.

When the words   which should not be told,

Were told  by one   who can never be one, Sita  Broke down

She   who has never known  any person in whole world except him.

She took   a decision

“Oh brother in law  set up the fire” said she

The lord  signaled  to him, The younger one built  up a huge fire

The fire  took bath in the fire

Due to the fire  , the fire itself got burns and   suffered greatly

The fire  gave a judgment  , This lady  has  fire  like  virtue.

Embracing his wife, Sita Rama grew large ,  due to joy

About the fire  , people will talk   fire like words,

And so  , he shut  their mouth  by fire

13.Crowning

Son of wind god, Son of Vali, Son of the sun,

And also  Vibheeshana, the  king of the bears

And with many like them, along with  the ornament  of virtue,

And his  younger  brother, Veeraraghava undertook the journey back

Through  the sky  on the Pushpaka  Vimana

“If    the time limit is over , Bharatha will  jump in the fire”

Thinking  like that  in proper time the  Lord arrived  in Nandi Grama

He hugged  his younger  brother and  that brother  merged with  his lord

Before that  the palace   was in Ayodhya, but today  Ayodhya  was in the palace

Yes in the divine  world of the lord, wherever  you turn were  heads,

The wave of people

The devas , the people of earth, kings  of various countries,

Musicians, the experts in playing  Veena, various type of artists

All    came  and got collected to the crowning  ceremony  of the lord

And the senior experts  in welcome   , welcomed  all of them

And  blew  the drum    and  played   the pipe

The  festival hall, the hall  where  even gingelly   will not fall,

Stood   supported  by  very huge pillars

Group by group  the Brahmins chanted  the four Vedas,

The servants who had royal insignia, played  the trumpets

The purification ceremony was over, Wearing   divine cloths,

Wearing divine ornaments, wearing garland  of Thulasi

With their  bodies shining   more than the divine,

With  religious marka and musk thilaka shining.

Dharma and virtue got up the throne

The  chanting oceans chanted  “Om, Om”,   at the proper time

The great  golden crown  worn by the best heads

From clan to clan was crowned on the lord,

Who   gave away the throne   and has  now come  to occupy  by the throne,

By Vasishta   who was  the essence  of all Vedas,

And he  did his job as  the  guru  of their clan

After pattabhisheka was over, the lord and his lady

Sat  on the golden throne and smiled

The  trinity  of Gods, sages  , the thirty three crore  devas

Showered  honeyed   flowers  on them.
