Kamba Ramayanam-Sundara Kandam 4 (Padalam 11)

11. Pasa  Padalam Chapter on the rope. (Indrajit , the elder brother of Aksha comes   and after a great battle ties Hanuman with Brahmastra  drags him  through the city.In Kamba Ramayana   it says that Hanuman  submitted to Brahmastra   due to respect and since he wanted to see Ravana went along with Indrajit.  In Valmiki Ramayana it is said that  the Asuras tie  Hanuman with a rope and because of that  Hanuman is immediately freed   from the tie.)

5717. When that   very masculine Megha natha  who got great fame by getting  ,Great victory  over  Indra   and destroyed  his strength , heard about this,  his   cruel eyes ,Started shedding   sparks   of fire    and   he  got enraged ,Sufficiently   to make all worlds sorry   and later  destroy them.

5718. That matchless  Indrajit  due to the news   that  his younger brother,Who had the lustrous sharpened spear   has been killed ,Felt as if his mind   was burning  , and breathing as if his soul was afire,Started for the war  similar  to Lord Shiva  who burnt the   three cities,By bending  The Meru mountain as a bow   and had   divine  luster.

5719. He , who by his  valour  touched   the boundary  of the  sky,Got  in to a big wheeled chariot drawn by  one thousand two hundred  ghosts.And the words of valour that  he uttered   , coming continuously   from him,Made cracks  in    all the great directions   and broke  the universe.

5720. The heroic anklets   and garlands    that he wore   as well  as,The sound of drums accompanying him   made   even the   thunder scared,And hearing that sound the king of Devas shivered for his life  ,And his body was   covered with sweat  and he suffered   due to great fear andThe trinity   who were   the God of gods   deciding that war has neared  its peak,And stopped   the works   that were  being done by them.

5721. That Indrajit whose   eyes  got filled up   as and when he thought  ,Of the death of his younger brother, with tears running  like a stream,Looked at his very strong  bow , folded his lips and laughed   with great anger.He thought “Did a monkey which roams   on tree branches  ,And does not have  a stable life  , kill my brother   who has  valour ,That will not bent? Due to that  the fame of my father  has gone down,”

5722. We do not have  capacity   to count   the number of spear soldiers,Who can split the  mountain in to two nor those archers   who came  in dense formation,Nor those soldiers   who were    armed   with swords  . The number  of  small eyed elephants,With rut water flowing on both sides   which made   the earth slushy   was twelve thousand.The number  of chariots   in that  army formation was also the same  number.

5723. , Similarly the cavalry   of the same size assembled   there and ,When they joined, the Asura kings   who held the swords  of valour  ,Also came and joined them and Indrajit  who  had enmity  ,Flowing like a stream  , immediately came   and got in to his chariot  ,And went inside the palace  of Ravana   having a pretty entrance .

5724. He fell on the feet of Ravana   and wailed    for the death  ,Of  his younger brother  , and   the very fearless  Ravana  ,Held both  shoulders of Indrajit    and hugged   him  ,And cried and became weak   and the ladies  of Asura clan,Who had  long eyes like two swords  , beat  themselves on their belly,Wailed   and swooned and Indrajit who  was as strong as a lion  ,Separated   them  and looked    at  his father  and talked.

5725. “You are not deeply  thinking about anything that does  good to us,You experience whatever happens   and then    become   sad because of it.Though you knew about the   great strength   of that   cruel monkey,You went on sending rows and rows of   Rakshasas    asking them,To fight with that  monkey  and I think  you have  killed them all.”

5726. ”Oh my father  , KImkaras, Jambumali , the faultless five commanders ,Who  were all   asuras wearing  heroic anklets  along   with a part of our army  ,Were all killed   and not even one was   able to   return , Is it really a monkey?For I feel    that  is the same as the trinity  of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva  .”

5727. “You have  won over the prowess   of the   eight elephants  of direction,You have won over the Kailasa mountain of Lord Shiva  who  burnt the three  cities,You have  won over  the three  worlds and you are  now  simply seeing that monkey,Which had killed  Aksha kumara. Even after all this   destruction  ,If we say that   we will go to the battle field and win over   it  ,That would be idle prattling. Would it be a  wise   decision?”

5728. ”Inspite of that   sir, I would easily   catch   that  monkey  who does acts of valour  ,In a very short time   and so from now on you  need  not suffer   any sorrow for that ,You would  live long,” saying like this   that Indrajit   who imprisoned  ,Lord Indra  , the king of devas  along  with his   fame , went to the battle  field.

5729. He went along with    chariots    which went in a row  , surrounded,By Umbrellas made  of corals  , with palanquins made   of pearls  ,Surrounded   by cloud  like black chariots   made of black wood,With  cruel  elephants in rut  looking like  black rainy clouds  ,And   with white cowries   which went like jumping  horses.

5730. With conches booming , with big drums giving sound like  thunder,With trees shaking   due to cruel sound generated  by Thilai   and Kaduvai,The crowd of garlands   and   the dust   making sky invisible  .The umbrellas    shiningly visible    here   and there  like moon,And making the elephants  of directions  shiver with fear  , he   came.

5731. When the valorous heroes ,  who  fixing several types  of  pipes like fire  ,And were   blowing them   , did not find way to proceed   further  ,Seeing this  Hanuman   who was the emissary   of Rama  ,The lord of Dharma ,went  to  do penance  leading life of sagesSaw this  by his mind as well as eye and smiled  thinkingAbout the  war which was coming towards   him.

5732. Indrajit  came with  the crowd  of  red umbrellas   and garlands  ,By the side   of  his chariot made  of Gold , with  ladies  ,Who had  fist like waist , similar   to the  branch of  Karpaga trees of heaven and,Who had reddish mouth   and who had  hair decorated  by scented  flowersFanning with  shaking cowries  , and with  instruments  like horn  ,Making  great   sound  stealing  the intestines  of those hear them,

5733. They say  that   the number   of the collection of garlands  was hundred thousand,The sun shades  made of   peacock feathers   and the faultless  conches   was  ten thousand,And he came   surrounded   by Umbrellas of the colour  of red  , white  , blue and greenSeveral lustrous  multi coloured flags   and crores  of Indras and  Sun Gods.

5734. With those   Rakshasas   who liked  wars blowing very many    horns made of    gold  ,Purified in the  fire   all together   at the  same   time   , keeping them on their mouth  .And hearing that huge sound the people    earth and heaven  were startled  and became  tired  ,And talking among themselves that the Rakshasas have become enthusiastic  andThe time of  final destruction has come near   , came with   desire  to see the war.

5735. The division  armed  with well sharpened  arrows  , the division   with,Fire spitting   spears  and the number  of archers   who can shoot the arrows well,And the  ocean of Asuras  armed with similar   weapons  ,and having  musical instruments ,Like horn  , conch   and others joining   together  , the earth  unable   to bear the burden,Bent her  back a little  and Indrajit who was responsible   ,For giving    this pain to the world  came   to the war   said  the golden symbols.

5736.  The  long shields  made  of  tiger’s hide  like the ocean of horses which  were fighting  ,Went up  to the Devas    making even the god of death  scared  .And   they got ready    their big bows   and the rain of arrows,Which emanated   from  there. Similar to the ocean on full moon days,Neared   the arch built  in world of Devas   as if they  touched   them,

5737. Due to the playing of drums like  Thadavai  maram,  Chagadai parat,And thimilai parai   all the   stars fell down similar to flowers  falling from the tree,And  the great sound made  by those heroes who were like   the killer  tigers,Along with  the sound  of long bells tied on the neck of the elephant  filled up the world.

5738. They  readied  the arrows    which   has  known wounds    earlier,In their eighty thousand crores   of bows  and started     sending   them,And not only that  that arch which was  touching the   sky vanished,And Hanuman who was praised by the worlds became one   who lived  in that great war.

5739. The  army   that was   coming to fight   with  very  valorous  Hanuman Consisted   of twenty Vellam of    sword bearing army  ,  the   army  ,That fought   with   the Vel  numbered to twelve  crores,And those   who fought   with spear   were  one vellam  .

5740. Horses  jumping   and flying  like a ball , Chariots in dense formation,Going faster  than the mind  , and elephants with black colour  like  night  ,Were    coming in such a way   that dust raided by them  hid the world of the moon.

5741. ,   The  sound of instruments like conch  , flat drums  , chachari and chinnam,Were  heard  everywhere  , The big drums  raised a noise like thunder  ,The  cruel sound of Stones   filled   up the sky   and,The Asuras   came   with   great speed , seething with anger.

5742.  All places   of horses which were  visible were   crowding,In all directions   collections of chariots were crowding ,In all places there were  only black     cloud  like elephants,And in all places those who were  shouting were   the asuras.

5743. The horses    which were   attached to the chariot were two hundred crores,The asuras   without guard   who were  included were as if another  eon has arrived,And besides  those asuras  who were  helping other soldiers were  ten Vellams.

5744. Those asuras who were surrounding that Cheating  Indrajit   were ,One hundred vellums of bow holding archers, the number of soldiers,Who hold the bow and capable of jumping and  rushing  was beyond counting,And similar was the case of elephants   with a hole in their trunk.

5745. That monkey chief   whose   valour   could make  enemies faint ,Seeing  such a large  army   of   that Indrajit,Turned to the north and saluted   Lord   Rama and stood there,With very good    happiness visible in his face.

5746. Seeing that   ocean of Asuras  who seem to say,There   is no place   in all the seven worlds   for them to occupy,And who  stood in a dense  formation   and were coming towards him,Hanuman   called   them   as if a cock is calling them.

5747. When Hanuman with great  joy was  calling them  ,Understanding what  that intelligent monkey meant    Te Asuras    who had a body of black colour  ,Sent   arrows at him, many of which fell in the ocean.

5748. Since the form of  the lion like  Indrajit   was completely covered   by the dust Not able to see him , Hanuman  , examined everywhere   found him out  ,And addressing him    started   telling the  following    words.

5749. That Hanuman  who was an expert in the  endless knowledge  ,Which he had heard  , looking at the huge   crowd of  elephants   surrounding Indrajit,To protect him  , also saw the white royal umbrella   that usually  preceded  Indra,Became happy  knowing that Indrajit was there   only   and stood smiling.

5750. Hanuman becoming joyous   at seeing  Indrajit  departing  ,With great anger called , “Oh Indrajit  who is cruel and strong  ,Please do come to the war with great   speed.”,And one of them told him that, “This is Indrajit.”

5751. Hearing  that  , Hanuman with shoulders like   the mountain,Said, “Good, that  is Good” and wanted  to fight    the war  ,And  at this time   the army of Indrajit  reached   that arch.

5752. The entire   army of Asuras   who were capable  of sinking the earth,Making one feel that  there is no more space   in  all the seven worlds,Started like the   raising  ocean at the time of deluge  and Hanuman called  them for war.

5753.  When the army approached   from all directions  making ,The sun, moon and stars , fall down like flowers  and seeing them,Hanuman thought ,”If the biggest   strength  of them  is this Asura army,Which is marching towards me  , they can not only win  Indra but  all the seven worlds.”

5754.  That army of black coloured   Asuras  , similar   to ,  the great darkness ,Which was defeated   by Sun God  doing great penance   and assuming  ,Many black forms   who   won   the  rays of Sun God   from him And wore them as ornaments,  as a sign of their victory , Along with   shining ornaments    that they were wearing  ,And  holding  swords which had   gone deep in to the bodies of enemies,And thereby getting a stain of flesh , which were   also shining  ,And were   capable of giving   victory in war , possibly   feelingThat the earth   is not sufficient for them   joined   the army of Indrajit.

5755. The  pretty  chariots   with wheels  , horses, foot soldiers ,Angry elephants   with red eyes and wearing ornamental masks,And the entire Asura army that have assembled there , like  ,The rising sea  at the time of deluge  accompanied Indrajit ,And he whose  valour   cannot be divided   among others,Shined separately   standing in the  middle of the huge army  ,And    was similar  to the matchless  , very big Meru mountain.

5756. Indrajit   who went to   the war like this  , though he had fameOf winning over the eight directions and the three   worlds ,Because  he was a great hero firmly established in his valour,Seeing  that Hanuman who was  looking like an ocean ,And who had done great valorous act , appreciated  him,Saying, “His valour is indeed great” and became happy.All those who saw it felt scared   , thinking about what would happen.

5757. That Indrajit wearing ornaments    of the shape of leaf  , saw that  great battle field,And thought  that it was  like a different world ,  with very many  cruel weapons,Floating  in the rivers of blood   from the   big corpses  of those  Asura who died there,And along with immeasurable number   of mountains , oceans,Rivers  and forests   was looking like  another  world   which is wide  .
5758. He felt slight    sorrow in his   mind which had never   suffered from sorrow ,And thought  that  “All the Asura warriors  , who were  like a   completely full ocean,Who had measureless   greatness   and who were  matchless   in their valour ,Had died  here.. There   is only one  monkey   that   is seen to be here,And if Rama   comes and wages a war at us     along with similar monkeys,With which army   can we fight with him    and win over him?”

5759. Those who were as dear as his  eyes , those   who were  like  his soul,Who with the weapons selected   by   them  were capable  of protecting their people,Who  had greatness   which is beyond imagination  , have   all died due to Hanuman,And seeing several Asura warriors   who were lying there on the battle  field  ,Indrajit  got angry, folded his lips   and  felt    that   his mind was boiling  ,Like introducing a stick in to  the never   healing    wound.

5760. Indra jit said  , “If the insult that   was meted   to my aunt  in the forest ,Killing of Khara   and the  sorrow due to killing  of my younger  brother  Aksha kumara ,And other insults   have  been caused   by just two men and a monkey ,The valour within me   is not pretty  , What a great surprise?”

5761. With a greatly suffering soul, with   the   colour of fire , when Indrajit was going  ,Through  the path  full of mountains   of corpses   which were  impeding his progress,And which cannot  be pulled   out  saw   the dead body  of   his younger brother,Who was rubbed out   by Hanuman , with his angry   red  eyes,Which was shining  like copper  greatly heated in fire, with a very  angry mind.

5762. Seeing  the body of his brother   whose   form  has been altered  ,Lying   in the blood flow     similar   to Dharukasura  and similar  , to the body  Of Hiranya,Which was made in to a paste by  the matchless  Lord  Narasimha   by his sharp nails  ,His chariot shook and became unstable  , he let fall the valorous bow    that he was holding ,And  blood and tears   from    his red eyes showing enmity  which was also spitting  fire ,And  That Indrajit stood there  letting out hot tortured  breath,

5763. ,”Oh my dear , Even the god  of death getting scared   of  the great anger , Of your father   who holds   a cruel and sharp  spear  , cannot take away your soul,Also   all those    who live   in different worlds  would be scared   to hide you,How is it that  you easily left us and which world   have you gone to?” Wailed  Indrajit.

5764. That Indrajit unable bear   the sorrow  due to the death of his sibling,Became jaded , weak   and sad due to the love  he had towards   his younger   brother,But what    was most prominent was   his anger   which had   the property of   ebbing out,And like  hitting a nail over another nail already pushed in , pushes   that nail further,His anger   pushed inside    the great sorrow  that he had  in his mind, what a surprise?”

5765. When these   things were   happening there , the very masculine  Hanuman ,Wearing a heroic anklet who was like Lord Shiva   who burnt    the   three cities ,With great anger saw Indrajit the    son  Of Ravana  , who was coming towards him,Who was riding    on chariot similar to Lord Sun riding   on a chariot.

5766. ”is it not true that I have won over some Asuras  earlier? This person,Has been summoned here speedily   by   either   by my defeat   or victory,And one of them will definitely happen here. This one is surely Indrajit.” Hanuman thought.

5767. ”If this Indrajit   wearing a well scented flower garland  who  is like a bull,Mad with valour   is killed by me  , that   would cause   the death of Ravana also,”Thinking like this   further,  Ravana     thinking that  he would   surely die  ,Would take   the faultless   and chaste   Sita   and give her to Rama ,And not only that   all these Asuras would lose their pride and lose  their cruelty.”

5768. ”If I can possibly kill this lustrous  Indrajit  , there   would   be more than,One benefit out of that  “Indra would not be sad  any more  ,There   would not be any  security to this Lanka    of Asuras ,And I would also win over  Ravana   and uproot him.”

5769. When Hanuman was thinking like  that and standing there,The army of Asuras  , elephants, chariots   and horses  ,Came before Indrajit   who had won the three   worlds , three times  ,And entered  Lanka as a   victorious Hero  ,  and created a huge sound,That  very big Hanuman   becoming angry ,Uprooted a  huge tree  and assumed a  huge form.

5770.  Some of those  elephants   in that Asura army   were kicked by Hanuman,Some  elephants rolled , some  of them were stamped by the feet of Hanuman,Some   elephants  fell down  , Some elephants fell  on each other   and got buried,Some  elephants  became upside  down  , some were  killed in the war  ,And some  elephants  fell down with their feet  upwards.

5771. Some   chariot collections    were   completely destroyed ,In case of some  , many parts    were broken , some lost  their strength ,And got   destroyed  , some chariots fell  down  with their joints broken,Some of them got their axles broken and fell down  , some became dust  ,Some   were crushed   and fell down  and some  fell down on earth.

5772. The heads   of the horses   got crushed  , some lost their eye balls  ,Some got their strong  legs broken , some fell down with a broken back,Some  wearing garland of bells   got their chest crushed  ,Some vomited blood  , some had their hoofs wearing  shiny,Golden anklets   broken    and in some   their bent necks got broken.

5773. The  Asura soldiers  became those    who were  caught  by Hanuman,Who had their bodies broken,   who had   their big shoulders scattered,Who had their heads broken  , who had  been bitten all over their body,Who lost their  necks  , who were slapped   and who were  greatly scared.

5774.  The arrows from the well bent   cruel bows   and  many  ,Of the very cruel weapons were   sent by the Asuras ,And had   fallen on that  very  Valorous Hanuman    ,Like   the steel rod well heated  in fire not burning the stone of black smith ,All   those which hit Hanuman did not cause   any harm and went away with sparks.

5775. The  burning arrows that    were sent by Indrajit   on Hanuman ,Who had   rising great anger , and   those arrows produced   flame and smoke  ,But  did not cause   any harm to the body of Hanuman   and   went away,Seeing which Indrajit laughed with anger   and devas    who saw it  ,Were  worried as to what will happen      and  their eyes   became sad.

5776. When   the chariots , horses  and Asuras got   scattered  ,And fell   on the ground  ,  the valorous Indrajit with fat shoulders,Who was standing  all alone among the dead Asuras  ,With increasing smile and anger   went to war ,With Hanuman   who was calling everybody, “Please  come, Please come.”

5777. The Asura Indrajit   twanged   the string of his bow   with his fingers ,Which increased  the shivering of the head of Indra, with   the collection of ,Huge thunders   in the widely dispersed    clouds of the sky  shivering  ,Due to fear  and making the thousand headed   Adhi sesha,Who is a long serpent who always carries    the world  , shiver.

5778. Hanuman who was   the emissary  of the God    who rules over all beings,Reacting to that sound   slapped    his big shoulders    and shouted a   war cry,Which  could be told as    splitting   the universe , which powdered   the mountains,.Which split the long earth  , which split     the directions  and,Which broke the string tied    to the bow of Indrajit.

5779.  Indrajit  berating him and exhibiting   his own valour    told Hanuman,“You are  very able   , there is none  in the world equal to you,In the great strength    you are different from others  and stronger than them,But today will soon  become  the    last   and final day   of your life.”

5780. Hanuman in return said, “Oh cruel Asura, I have come here with a trick,To put an end to your lives  , to put an   end to your policy,Of troubling people  , to put an end   to the sinful act of yours,To put an end     to your weapons like sword   and because  of that,The power of my shoulders    would never get reduced.”

5781. Hearing that  Indrajit  thinking that  ‘I will put an end   to your wish”Sent very  big and sharp arrows   which were  more  powerful than Vajrayudha and they ,Hit Hanuman on his chest and head   ,made new    blood flow    from them, making Devas scared.

5782. That  Hanuman became greatly enraged  ,  further  increased his body ,Not thinking that  the height of sky was not sufficient and assumed a super form,Which was  like the fame of Rama   who  obeying   the words  of his   step mother ,And  gave away all the   world  which was surrounded by  the ocean,With folding high waves   to his   younger brother   and stood firmly in Dharma.
5783That Indrajit   with very powerful shoulders   who   imprisoned   , tied and Dragged   Indra  ,The lord  of limitless worlds   including   the ten directions   looked at Hanuman ,But  was   able to see  a small part of his    form   and unable   to  see his full form,Became   perplexed  , confused  , startled   and surprised.

5784. That Hanuman who had assumed that   huge super form  ., extended ,His huge hands in his front side , prevented the arrows sent  by Indrajit  ,From striking him   caught them and threw it back   on Indrajit  ,And slapped the ghosts pulling  his chariot as well as his charioteer and killed   them,

5785. At this stage  , with the charioteer   brought   another chariot  ,Which travels  with the speed of great   wind at deluge  , that Indrajit,Jumped and got in to that chariot   , using   arrows    which were  equal,To several divine wheels   covered with arrows the entire body   of Hanuman  ,Who had a long    life span   and had  great strength   in warfare.

 5786. That victorious  Hanuman   shook  his body and made   fall on the ground  ,All the arrows sent by Indrajit    which had   hit his chest  , jumped on his chariot,Caught the huge  bow  he had used  in winning  all the world several times,Snatched   it from him  , brought it out    and broke  it  .

5787. Even before    the sound of the breaking    of the bow ceased  ,Indrajit  ,For continuing the war   used   a sword called Vajrayudha   which was  ,Used by the    angry Devendra to cut the wings of big mountains,And which was given to him as tribute  and took it in his    hand.

5788. That   Indrajit , the son of Ravana   who had  matchless  great  anger,Send at a single strike,   hundred hundreds   of   arrows   which were the best in the war Speedily   by bending   his great bow  , and that  great hero Hanuman,Who was  emissary of Rama , getting  several wounds  in his body   got little tired.

5789. Those   devas who were   shouting with joy    earlier  , seeing Hanuman getting tired,Became sad   and lost their wisdom and Hanuman who saw   this speedily becoming all right  ,Took a huge  tree   in his pretty hands  and broke   in to pieces  , all the arrows  being ,Rained at him by  Indrajit  , rotated   that  tree   and beat   strongly   Indrajit  ,Who was wearing   a great    crown that  was made   by gold  and gems.

5790. That Indrajit who had    earlier achieved   victory   over  Devas ,AS soon as  that huge  tree   hit has head       wearing    the crown,Bled copiously  from  his head which washed   his crown  ,And made    the shining rays    from it  properly visible  ,And he became greatly tired   and his body    shivered.

5791. That Indrajit who was standing there with tiresomeness  ,As soon as he started  properly thinking  , bit his teeth  ,Which were like the crescent  of the moon,Send  one thousand    arrows   which were   similar  on Hanuman,Making the Devas  and Sages   worried and making Hanuman  shivering.

5792. Those   cruel arrows   sent by Indrajit thus   went and pressed  ,The chest   and   hands of Hanuman , who with anger    as well as hatred ,Went with greater speed  than the  arrows sent by Rama , who is an expert,Using his great bow   and picked up   Indrajit  along with his chariot ,And    threw it    and made    greatly  tumultuous sound.

5793. That Indrajit   who  is a very strong enemy   beyond thought  ,Due to being thrown out by Hanuman   fell at the edge  of    chariot path of the  sky,And came out   with blood flowing on him with    the scent   of the flesh,Coming and collecting     below the  lower eyelid  and   fell on the floor .
5794. Even before that Indrajit      who had  teeth which resemble  lightning  ,Fell on the floor  , he rose  up   from there   and reached   the sky  ,And in the meanwhile    Hanuman with a long form  ,Within a time  it takes for a black gram to roll   kicked ,And destroyed   all the   gem studded   crowd of   chariots ,Of the army   of Indrajit    and destroyed   all of them.

5795. Thart Indrajit who did  not have another   chariot    to ride  ,And  also did not have   the  power to stand   before Hanuman,Changing himself due    to his  fire like great    anger  ,Travelled on the sky   and since  he did not have any other  option,Took the courage    to the evil deed   of sending  the matchless ,Weapon of Lord Brahma   called  Brahmastra.

5796. After  using faultless   forms of worships    using    flowers  ,And offering flower coloured   offerings  , lamps  and incense  ,He performed  flower offering to Brahmastra  , took  that Brahmastra  ,Of Lord Brahma   who  created   all gods and  all the worlds  ,And was   living  in the  place    of Lord   Vishnu   and took it in his hand.

5797. After taking    like that   Brahmastra    in his hand  , he kept it,On the string   of   big and cruel  bow  , aimed   at the shoulder  of Hanuman,And sent it   making the earth  tremble  , with directions shiver  with fear  ,With   moon in the sky getting scared  and also  making Meru mountain shiver.

5798.   That  great arrow   which cannot   be controlled by any one ,Taking the form of king of   cruel serpents     who spit   out fire ,And making even Garuda   who wanted     to cut him scared  ,Securely tied   the very huge    shoulders   of Hanuman.

5799. When the   weapon of Lord Brahma    tied    the   very    strong body  of Hanuman  ,That great  Hanuman  , similar  to the cool moon along with  the serpent   falling  at time of deluge,From the sky  along with    the tears of God  of  Dharma who was   following him and the arch  fell down.

5800. That Hanuman who had fallen down   understanding   that Brahmastra had hit him,,Feeling it is not proper  to insult   it and move away  , closed his eyes  ,And acted     as if   he was under its control  and Indrajit   thinking ,That  his strength   is finished    and came   near   Hanuman.

5801. When Indrajit came  near Hanuman like this  , those Asuras,     Page 704.Who were earlier scared to fight with him   and saved their life by running   away,To all the four directions  , who were waiting  to see   him  getting exhausted ,And who had shining teeth   surrounded Hanuman  from all the four sides ,Pulled that Brahmastra which had attached to his body  like a serpent in a hole ,Shouted   with a very  loud voice   and   chided  Lord Hanuman.

5802. That big city of Lanka   thinking  that the strength  of the monkey has been destroyed.Which was shouting  in a loud voice   was similar   to the ocean   with  beating tides,From all sides that Brahmastra    was looking like   the serpent Vasuki  ,The Asuras were  looking like Devas  and Hanuman looked like Mandara mountain.

5803. That very angry  serpent like arrow  , tied the  golden body of Hanuman tightly ,And that Hanuman who was the only protector of God  of Dharma in that city,Was looking  like  the Meru mountain , which was   tied   by  Adhi Sesha,At a time   when the huge wind was   blowing , when he was shining.

5804.  Males and females   of the city   came   and shouted   with loud voice,And   went on shouting   in the surroundings, sky  and  in all the four directions,And there   was limit to the  their joy at that time  , which was  like the time,When the city   celebrated Indrajit tying  Indra and bringing him there.
