Chapter on hearing words of spies of Ravana.
(Sukha and Charana  , two spies sent by Ravana reach   the army camp of Rama in the form of monkeys. They are recognized by Vibheeshana. Rama pardons them and releases them.  Meanwhile Ravana  is holding another war council meeting. His grandfather  Malyavan tries his best to dissuade  Ravana from going to war. The spies   come back and report to Ravana.)
6746.  Rama   who was the  personification of maleness .Hugged  with springs of  nectar  like love   flowing from his  heart,All   those who told him   the news  and with a desire ,To see  the  craft that went in making the bund  ,Told all of them, “Come let us go with speed to see it.”

6747. Rama who is the   first among all the   worlds  went  amidst ,The sea of the army of monkeys like a cloud   towards  ,His own old home   and after   nearing the bund ,Became filled with love as if he has seen  his  matchless darling wife.

6748. Rama  then thought deeply   and told  that, “This job,Of filling up the ocean with mountains   and constructing a bund ,Even  if the construction had been started   by  the first Brahmin of the world ,Would not be   this easily    completed.”

6749. That  Rama who is the first after deluge was  filled   with joy and surprise,And Said with joy  ‘Is it possible to measure the depth of this sea? Apart  from  its depth  ,The city of Lanka surrounded by it   is very big   and even if it had been beyond seven seas,These monkeys   would have crossed   all those   seven seas and made  this bund.”

6750. With  Vibheeshana the  Lord of Asuras walking in front  , with Hanuman  ,Who had learned and mastered all   great books known walking   at its back,With  his younger brother  whose  only ornament is victory  just following him,The valorous  Rama who had   broad arms and was like a male black elephant went.

6751.That huge   army of monkeys   walked knocking precious   gems,And sandalwood  , with the tides on both their sides  looking like gardens  ,Walked by that bund  which was looking like Cauvery river,Which was going and joining    the black sea , together and in dense formation.

6752. Since they were  carrying all the food articles    of the  Kurinji ,And other land classification   without   leaving any thing there,And were   also going towards   the sea , that army could be called river Cauvery.

6753. Due to   the crowding monkey army  not finding place   to keep one foot ahead,Some of them not having space  , for the sake   of going speedily  went   on the   tides of the sea,And those   monkeys    as and when the  tide rises   went   jumping ,Like   the horses  in war    jumping   towards   the sky.

6754. With the bodies of monkeys completely crowding the bund  ,And since there   was no way to proceed   and with no  place  to fall,On both sides some of them fell in to the ocean and some   cultured  monkeys ,Extended their hands  and asked them to proceed on them ,And to the number of such monkeys who reached the  other shore   there  is no  end.

6755. Protecting   the  Hot rays of the Sun which were like sawing of the nine gems ,From hurting   the cloud like black body of Rama  , the monkeys  held,Shade giving cut sandal wood trees   and tall  Bamboo plants   and surrounded  him.

6756. To prevent the  pretty body of the sons  of the king  who are   the personification   of truth  , Mentioned   in The Vedas     taught by  Brahmins who live in disciplined  penance  , The commander of armies   themselves   broke flowering branches  ,Made   a cowrie   out  of  those flowers   and fanned   them.

6757. Rama thinking about  parting with   Sita   who had removed her   rare bangles,And who had   well grown breasts  which makes her  thin  waist scared  of being broken,And which made him tired along with the  monkey army which was  marching,As if they win over all the world  , crossed the   sea by that bund   and reached  the other shore .

6758.  Along with his younger brother  who was born due to the great boons given by Devas ,After doing great penances   who gave    him  comforts   like nectar  , with  his powerful friends,Rama reached  the town Where   Sita    who was as chaste   as Arundathi   and who was,Like Vanchi creeper talking   sweet words is imprisoned  and stayed  near  a  hill.

6759. Rama who was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu    holding the divine wheel,Looked sweetly at Neela who was the commander  in chief  and ordered ,“You please  arrange for erecting tents   quickly   for the army  ,Which has come along with us “ and he   saluted the divine  feet of the Lord  ,And told Nala   who   had constructed bund in the sea using mountains  ,AS per  rules laid down in books  , and told that job would be done  within a second.

6760. Nala   divided the space so that   good effect would result  , created four squares,And constructed the tents in such a way   , that  such and such people cannot stay in this tent ,And also constructed   tents to Sugreeva and other   commanders,   special tents  ,Built with gold and gems  as per rules laid by Lord Brahma   in a very short time  easily.And seeing that his father Visvakarma felt ashamed that  he lacked that great capacity.

6761. With a desire   to build a home to Rama    who holds   the Kodanda  bow,He picked rough stones from mountains  , polished them smooth  ,Made  legs by bamboos called Kazhai  , tied it with Durba grass  ,And  made the roof with well scented flowers  and completed it.

6762. All the persons there  praised  Rama   who greatly  loved all the beings,Like a mother by using their mind and mouth  , bowed and  saluted his   feet,And went towards their  dwellings  spread  in all the eight   directions,And Rama   sweetly entered   the dwelling  made   for him.

6763. When the  monkey warriors who had the nature  of spreading   threw  ,Mountains in to the sea  , due to his   coral like pure rays   turned black,Due   to the salt water   that were splashed at him  , for getting back,His usual bright light  , as if to take bath in the sea  , the Sun reached the setting mountain.

6764. In the western sky   during the tipsy evening period  , the  white crescent moon,Which is like milk   came   to give light  to the period of night   and showered,His  arrow like rays on  Rama who had lotus like eyes   and appeared like,The bow of God of love  which is bent  by  pressing by the feet.

6765. Using   the application of scented pollen from   a lotus   flower with hundred petals  on the  body,Using the  breeze   which is lightly scented by rose water  , Using   the   fire called   evening  ,Using  the  arrow of god of love which was like   God of  death ,The  moon  left   its usual cold nature   and started  having burning heat.

6766. The scene of the rays of the pure    white moon  passing over  shoulders of RamaAfter parting   with the lady with divine face   who is pretty even when angry,Who had completely lost all pleasures   due to sorrow  ,On the top of  the emerald  mountain  , due to parting with a peacock and was likeThe  white faced   little snake   which was   breathing like fire.

6767. Rama   who   had  hands   which are like   strong diamonds   and red in colour,As and when he neared    the city of Lanka  , due to  parting of his  wife sweated  all over the body,And became greatly sorrowful  proving that  approaching Sita  who had coral like red mouth   Which  can burn a person from a distance, will definitely not quench  the pain.

6768. When things were like that   due to the  order  of  the king  of Lanka,Some spies  came there   and after seeing the size of the monkey army  ,And when they  put on the   form of  monkeys and started wandering among  them singing,Due   to the penance done by  him for several days  with great patience  , Vibheeshana,Who had come and surrendered   to   Rama’s feet  ,  found them and caught them.

6769. With a very searching mind  , inside     the ocean   of that great army   of monkeys,Vibheeshana could recognize    those spies   and  he became   a swan  ,Which can remove the water drops which had     got mixed   in the milk of ocean of milk.

6770.The  nature   of being  big and small together  is difficult    to understand  ,And because  of that  they have   ability   to make  them   and their form  not visible  ,As per   the   teachings contained   in the    Vedas   and Agamas ,Similar   to the   peculiar nature of the soul  living   inside the body ,But Vibheeshana   as a great yogi   had    the ability   to see them separately.

6771. After being hit repeatedly by the clenched    fists    of   the monkeys ,Making   those who witness  it merciful  and  afterwards  tying their hands   ,With a creeper of Manai  tightly  and also made their mouths  bleed  ,Vibheeshana showed them as  “They are   thieves “ and “they are cheats “And this was    seen by  the pretty     Rama    who was the  ocean of mercy.

6772.  That Lord Rama    who is merciful and has a bed of  a serpent ,Did not recognize them as enemies   and thought  that they might  have  committed,Some mistake   hurting the mind of others  , and becoming merciful   thinking that,“They are after all monkeys and even if they   have committed mistake  ,It is only  proper to show mercy on those   who surrender   to us  ,And it is not proper to punish them for their   mistakes  “ said , “free them.”

6773.Vibheeshana who had crying face seeing   the very charitable   Rama,Who was merciful in and out ,  said, “they are not monkeys   who  live,In the forests with mountains but the spies sent by Ravana ,Who does not have   good culture. This one is Shukha   and the other Sarana”And explained   in a way   that  made  Rama understand the situation.

6774. When Vibheeshana who was great  in education told like this  those spies,With a dark mind, addressing Rama told, “Oh valorous one     who  holds a    very strong bow  ,This Vibheeshana   has come here  understanding the strength   of this monkey army  ,Knowing that  Ravana  cannot win over them   and has come   here ,To kill all the monkeys by trick  . Please understand that  we  are    really    only monkeys.”

6775. Vibheeshana hearing this  said, “Thieves” and chanted a  manthra in his mind  ,Which can show clearly the true    form   of those spies   who were Asuras  ,And change their  form as   monkeys and they  both  started   having their   real asura forms,Like  the  copper pot  painted like silver  becoming copper  when drop of mercury touches  them.

6776. That Rama who removes sorrow of those who are   sorrowing   and  ,Who was   an expert in protecting others  looked at those   evil people  ,With shining teeth   who were standing like a mountain greatly scared  ,Smiled  showing his pretty teeth   said, “do not get scared ,Why have   you come here, Please tell me  now.”

6777. Those two spies who  were experts in locating the entrances   and  understanding ,Things   without others   knowing it  saluted Rama and told,  “Oh valorous  one ,We came here obeying the words of Ravana   who  has imprisoned  ,The goddess   who is the mother   of all beings and one   who protects  all,Without understanding  after great thought  that   she is his nemesis ,And we had come here   to cheat  and spy on you   and tell him about everything.”

6778. Rama said, “Oh experts in the job that you do ,  go and tell   Ravana   the news,That  I have given the limitless   wealth of   this city  of Lanka to  the brother  Vibheeshana,And also tell him the great act of the monkeys  in filling   up the ocean  with mountains  ,And building a bridge   and tell him those two great archers Who were waiting all this while have arrived.”

 6779. ”This city of Lanka in which Ravana with many heads lives and which is  protected,By the mountains   happens to be located in a corner   of the very wide sea  ,And since our mind did not  know that  , Ravana  and his relatives  Were kept alive  till now, please tell him this.”

6780. “Please  also tell him   that I would cut in to pieces   that Ravana  ,Who does not follow Dharma  , even if  Lord  Shiva wearing a crescent   travelling ,On A bull  and Lord Vishnu   who  wears  Thulasi  on his   crown  ,And travels on the speedy Garuda   and all the beings    that live  ,In this  very old universe  came   as help   to protect    him.”

6781. ”Similar   to Parasurama    who used   the sharpened axe as his weapon  ,Who exterminated   the entire clan   of the king    who killed   his father  ,I would exterminate   all the Asura clan  and all those   who are on his side  ,Take away his life  , for avenging    the death of  my father  Jatayu  ,And I would   offer his   slain body as sacrificial offering to the devas  .“Please tell him this    and make   him understand   it.”

6782. ”Tell him that  I would  keep him  , who   has  kept   Sita  who has been doing,Faultless  penance  , in the lonely prison   and made   her wilt and fade  ,And thus has    done unimaginable cruelty  along with   his relations,In the hell  with burning fire  , from where   there is no escape  ,And also give all his   wealth   to  the  Brother  Vibheeshana.”

6783. ”You have   entered in all places   where the army is there   and seen every one,And if there is no more job  to be done by you here, since  I have said, “do not fear”,You can go safely from here” said Rama   and told Sugreeva    and others  ,To see to it that they are not pained in the body and mind and ,Send them to Lanka   and those  people happy that they are  alive went back.

6784. When things were happening like this  , the king   of the people of Lanka,Saw in his mind   the scare  experienced by Varuna  , the God of the ocean,The strength by which a bund was built   over the sea,And the coming of the army by that bund, when he was alone  for thinking.

6785. That Ravana went along    with people of wisdom   in  to the  long council hall,Where even light breeze would not enter   unless  summoned ,After sending away ladies  with shining chest tied by a cloth  and other men .

6786. That hall was surrounded by servants   who cannot feel by their mind,Who cannot talk  , Who cannot hear   what one says  , who do not have other limbs,And  the hunchbacks   and Dwarfs   who were holding good lamps with multi flames.

6787. That Ravana  who had pretty feet lit by   the  gems  inlaid,On the crowns    who were  saluting his feet   said “The  men who are ,Our enemies have arrived and what   are   the actions  ,That we should boldly   perform “ looking at  his council members.

6788. Malyavan said  “WE have heard   that the king of the ocean ,Got scared   by the fire  which  appears  in the sea   at deluge  ,And burnt by the arrows of Rama   , went and saluted him,Presented a nine gem lustrous garland  and  ,This news    has   wounded  my mind just like a   spear.”

6789. ”The news  that Varuna   who got a  matchless bad name that  ,The ocean was split in to two  and is the   end of his prowess, with great fear,AS per the request of Rama   gave him path to build a  bund , is hurting my mind.”

6790. “ Completely   uprooting  the mountains created   by the God,Those monkey soldiers   who   have  made no mountains exist  in this world,Are  slapping their   shoulders with great joy  and they brought those mountains,And blocked    the ocean in such a way    tha it would not move  ,And  these   acts   of theirs   has  completely blocked my mind .”

6791. ”Oh king  ,Numerous  monkeys who were  more angry than fire,Went on giving mountains as per    their capacity   continuously  ,And one person received   all those   by the matchless  fingers  of his hand   And put them in the sea and this saddens me as if  it is is put on my chest.”

6792. ”After seeing Hanuman    burning   our   very  old city  by our eyes,After seeing a bund being made   in side the sea   and closing it  ,After seeking  Khara and others of indestructible   valour  being killed,And after seeing that   those people who have done this have  come here ,Is it necessary    for us to hold discussion in this council hall?”

6793. When the maternal  grand father   of Ravana   told him like this,Ravana bit his lips with his teeth due to great anger  and with  fire sparks ,Coming out of his eye   said, “good, good, our   council proceedings,Are going  on properly  “and told Malyavan   “go along with,My younger    brother Vibheeshana   and live happily with him.”

6794. When Ravana told   this with anger  , Malyavan  who was greatly   experienced,Felt “Would telling what is Good  is also sin?”  and kept silent  ,And then  the commander in chief    of Ravana told the   following.

6795. ”Oh Lord Malyavan   , Except   their show of strength   In crossing   the ocean before our eyes ,Perhaps    you did not know     the truth That even   the  protectors of eight directions  ,Are  doing menial jobs to our king .

6796. ”You have become scared   of the monkeys ,And   you are telling that they threw  mountains in to the sea,Don’t   you remember    that our lord had uprooted the Kailasa mountain,Along   with Lord Shiva sitting on its top with his consort?”

6797. ”What is the need for us to fear    when we hear  that,Our enemies have completely   blocked the sea   by throwing mountains?They are ignorant people   and have entered  in our city  ,To fight the war   and it  is definitely   an act,That  is pushing   them to great destruction..”

6798. At that  time   one person who had covered his body with a shirt  ,Who   had    fire sparks coming out of his eyes   due to great anger,Who was holding a stick   and who was the security guard   came in,And told Ravana  “The spies    have    come back  ”

6799. When the security guards     saluted and told like    this , the chief of Asuras,Ravana  who had eyes which was like flaming fire    and great    strength  ,Told them, “Make them enter here “and as permitted  the spies  entered.

6800. Those   spies  who had shivering mind   when they think about  ,The army of monkeys    who were like pieces  of palm tree  ,And who were vomiting blood  whenever they wanted to speak,Entered   the palace and saluted   the feet    of their king Ravana.

6801. That Ravana   who was biting his mouth    wanting  to take away souls,“Please tell me   the condition of that   lazy Vibheeshana who is scared of war ,The army of monkeys    which is   like   the wide sea   ,And the efficiency of those   two who are wandering  in garb of sages.”

6802.  When Ravana told like   this  those  spies told how  they crossed the sea,Within one Nazhiga  and how   they wandered around the war tents of the monkey army  ,By taking the form of monkeys   and how   they   reached   inside  the army.

6803. ”We your slaves   due to interest    started   examining  ,The very long   monkey army   and like the Garuda with speed,Which had vision in all directions  andWhich failed  to find the boundaries    of the old sea  , we also  failed to find its end.”

6804. ”Is there  not  a need    for us to find out     the strength   and capabilities ,Of the enemy army   and to  report to you about it ?  Those monkey warriors,Not able to find the other shore   of sea of anxiety   became very sad  ,And reached   the sea   and  the drops  of sea water   which fell  in this city,Due to their  throwing mountains  in to the sea , would have told you  about their valour.”

6805. ”When Rama came   to the edge of the sea    and was doing penance  ,The God of the sea    did not come and help   and thinking  about it  Rama  the man,Looked at his  own mountain like shoulders , saw the arrows and saw his bow  ,And immediately   the   ocean started  burning.”

6806. ”Oh king on whose chest   the garlands   shakes  , till the   date  up to which,The  Sun God travels on his chariot   and as long   his great name “Rama”,Exists in the world , all the  great wealth of Lanka   which is surrounded ,By the ocean   would    be given to your  brother Vibheeshana by Rama.”

6807. ”When we know   about the    several   reasons to praise  ,The power of the shoulders  of Hanuman who came here  as an emissary,The fact   that  Rama has  got built a   bund over   the ocean,By the help of several monkeys  , is the new proof  of their  strength.”

6808. ”Like the fact that   the Sun God   showed the very strong  lord Vishnu  ,The Asuras    who were   hiding   within them  ,In the evening     when the   Devas   were   eating   the nectar  ,Your brother Vibheeshana   became  very angry  ,And showed   us  who were in form of monkeys   to the other  monkeys.”

6809. ”With the help   of   the monkey soldiers   we were  caught  ,By their  palm like hands , rotated   till our long shoulders broke  ,Pulled and spun   and shown to   the victorious   Rama,Who was   shining like Sun God  , Vibheeshana told him who we were?”

6810.  “Then that king  said, “With    the arrows    that  I have  ,I would destroy all boons  got by Ravana earlier “ and also,After knowing that    we are not monkeys ,Rama in great mercy   allowed us   to escape  ,And this is the only   news    that we   have brought.”

6811.  Then they also   told all other news   as well as   the message  ,Sent by Rama who was the God of truth   without forgettingAnd greeted him, ”Let all   evil deeds   which are   wrong  ,Go away from today  .Let you attain growth in life.”

6812”. Like the curse   of elders   which can kill without  any doubt  ,The men who hold the bow   easily reached  the sea with Makara  fishes,Along with a  valorous army  and   have reached    the city of Lanka  ,And so  at this time we cannot think anything    else   , except,Starting for the war  or are    there   any other alternative ?”Asked Ravana  and the guard  of the army started replying.

6813. ”Even if you release Sita , the  enemy   devas    would berate   you saying that,The king of Lanka got scared   and did it  and   we can also   end the war  ,By signing a treaty of peace  and even if the enemies agree    for this  ,Your younger brother  Vibheeshana    would not agree   to it ,And so when the war is so near  , you only have to order us as what is to be done.”

6814. Earlier    we had decided   that  we would go to the place   of the enemies,And after   killing the two men and monkey army    return back to our place  ,But   today the enemies themselves have reached here. Is there   any stable news in that ?If we get   what we wanted   , is it not better than the victory that   we are going to achieve?”

6815. ”Oh Lord ,  even if our thousand vellam army    of asuras   is going to be destroyed,It can  take   one hundred   full  periods between the deluge  and so  ,What is the need    for us to feel inferior? If you   get angry and go to the war  ,The monkeys would disperse   like a group  of dogs  ,Seeing a group of lions   as they    are  not capable of opposing us?”

6816. ”Please see  me and our army doing    great war   and drive away  ,Those men and their army   so that they all fall  in great ocean and   die,Please give me leave”  said  the commander   in chief  Prahastha ,Which was suitable to Ravana    who had driven out Indra  in a great war.

6817. Malyavan   whose   wisdom is acknowledged   by everyone  thinking that ,“some good truths   have been told   for general betterment   and adopting them  ,To suit our circumstance   is the path of Dharma  “ started    telling Ravana  ,That  Prahastha and others   who want to oppose    the enemies ,Were doing as per   their fate   and were travelling in the path of destruction..

6818. He   then told   that, “The  God of Gods    who is the acme   of   the faultlessness   ,And  pure   flow of light  was  born as the   son of Dasaratha   who was ,Looking   after the earth with ocean as boundary   without any rest,And   has now come to fight    the war with us  , This is what people are talking.”

6819. Lakshmana     who is the brother  of Rama   , the son of Dasaratha  , who  stands ,Separately   from    the great   state  of Para(divine)     which is defined    by the  Vedas,Takes     various forms   and is in side    all the faultless    beings  ,Leaving out his divine state   but   has   never   altered  from his purity,And all people say he  is Adhi Sesha the bed of Vishnu  . I do not know why?”

6820. They also say   that “The arrows    of that  Rama and Lakshmana   were made ,By Lord Brahma himself after    separating the strength   of   great mountains  ,And the string    that is tied to the bow is  Adhi Sesha himself and  ,The sharp tip of those well chosen   arrows  which  attacks  ,Has    the property   of calculating  life span in the wheel of time.”

6821. “They say   that  the son of Vali who has   come to battle  is Lord Indra himself ,Who is the lord of  all Devas  , Neela   is the son of  Fire  which eats way the   world  ,At time  of deluge  , The emissary Hanuman     who is like the God of death  ,Is the son   of wind God and they also in the  next birth he would become Lord Brahma.,”

6822.  “ All people say ,that  the Lord Rama who has given him the  position of Lord Brahma  ,Has   reached   this city of Lanka    to exterminate     the Rakshasa  tribe, Are they simply,Telling it for fun or are    they telling    the truth  ? And they also say  ,That each of the monkeys     who have    come here   are  sons  of different devas,What is the point    in telling   all these   to you at   this time?”

6823.  “Are they telling these after research  ? Or are   they  telling these due to fear?Or are   they telling  it after understanding  it by wisdom? Whatever  it may be  ,That pure Sita   is the Goddess  Lakshmi   who came out when ocean  was churned,And she is the mother of the entire world, who cannot  be seen by bare   eyes,She is the   the  great Goddess   who lives in the great heavens  ,And they say do not    call her   as a     weakling.”

6824. ,   “They also told  that   the way that   Rama came to the forest  ,Is because   of  the request of Devas, The    Greatest    God  ,Who is the  Lord of Dharma   has come in the    form of    Rama  ,Considering   the great boons    got by   Ravana , the king of Lanka  ,Built on Trikona mountains   and has   the  sea with its fishes as moat.”

6825. “They said that to this city of Lanka , thousands and thousands of ill omens have  occurred ,They said    the Goddess  of security  of Lanka who was hit by  Hanuman  ,Who was the emissary   of  the very suitable Rama   who was asked  ,To find out   the good Sita   who loves    all the beings   more than their motherAnd had left Lanka  , They said war   entered in to the city in the form of Hanuman.”

6826. “ Vibheeshana who by his body  belongs    to our  clan of Asuras,Who  does not tell a lie  , who is greater  by arms length than Bruhaspathi  , the Guru of Devas,And who  is wise brother  told you that  , all the asuras    with  you their king ,Would   be killed by the arrows of Rama   and went out. They properly  said.”

6827. ”I came to know all these   as told by others and due to the reason   that,My clan of Asuras   has always been destroyed by Lord Vishnu  and due to the fact,That I have great love towards  you , A great sorrow   ebbed   in my mind,Due to which  I told you these . If you now release  Sita, all your sorrows  would end.”Said Malyavan.

6828. Ravana replied ”let all these rest. You told now the nature  of men, monkeys   and Devas ,Who were defeated by me   and besides   that   told, “I would get defeated”,Your learned knowledge seems to be great,” and also told the following.

6829. ”Along with the ignorant men  , not only     the monkeys    , let  all other beings,Join together   with  them. Let the people   of serpent   world join with   those on earth  ,And let the heavens also join  with them  and come desiring for a great war with me  ,With  a bubbling mind . Even if all these enemies come for   the sake of Sita,Would I     retreat from waging   a war and fighting with them.”

6830”. Would not   the very many arrows with me  which are    in my hand ,Which have won all over   the world  , which are  more powerful   than one’s Karma,Which pierced the back of Devas   who  wanted to fight with  me,And went beyond them in the battle field  ,become ineffective against these  monkeys?”

6831. ”If  Lord Shiva   who is famous for holding the trident  in his broad hands,Appear before me as a monkey   and fight with me in war  , he would retreat  ,And what else can he do? The sharp arrows    that are  in my hand  ,Are  not the poison that  appeared  in the ocean , so that he can swallow them.”

6832. “Oh sir  , even if Lord Vishnu holding    the divine wheel  who   ran away,Scared   from war with me  comes  before me and attacks me ,The arrows in my hand  would  emit fire  burn sun, moon and fire themselves,And are they Kaisthubha gems   which reached his   chest  when the ocean was churned?Possibly    you may    not be aware    of that.”

6833. ”If that Indra who holds the  sword  of victory    has taken the form  of monkey,Are  my mountain  like shoulders  , the small hills   , whose   wings   he cut them off  ,Long time ago   using   his sharp Vajrayudha  , which fell down and could not rise up?”

6834. With mind going as emissary  , with the  mind of ladies which has gone astray ,Who were going to the place of their lovers becoming sad  ,With CHakravake birds   losing their anxiety  , the water   of darkness ,Which was engulfing   Meru  mountain  where   lot  of devas lived  ,Started   flowing out   and the darkness   that was  covering the world went away.

6835. The Sun god who used to normally    going outside   the Golden wall of Lanka,Greatly scared    tp peep in to the city   to get an idea   of the city  , thinking that,The king of kings    Rama had come agreeing for a war   and so I am stronger now,Appeared   on the eastern sky  as if to see   that great city of Lanka.
