Coming of Soorpanakha.

After  telling like this to Lakshmana,

In  the  very pretty Panchavati,  situated

In great forest  in the banks of  river Gowthami,

One pretty  Rakshasi traveler , living  in Janasthana,

Who can take  any form she likes .

Saw the footprint of a feet  in which,

There were marks of lotus, flag, Vajraudha ,

Goad and seeing the prettiness  of that feet,

Entered  the hermitage of Rama  out of curiosity.

Bhanu mandala sahasrojjwalam Ramanadham,

Seeing   Lord Rama who was shining  like one thousand suns

Who belonged to the clan of Sun , who destroys karma  as well as sin,

Who is divine , valorous man, bewitcher  of mind, Who is full of illusion,

Who is equal to the moon , Who is Madhava and who is  the killer of Madhu,

Living happily   with  Janaki, she was afflicted by  the arrow of god of love,

And took   the  form of a pretty lady  and  raining a pretty  smile,

Slowly  told   the   consort  of Goddess Lakshmi ,

“Sir, who are you? Please  tell me  whose  son you are?

What  is the reason for   you   for coming  here?

What  is the reason for the matted hair and dressing with  bark?

 Why have you   dressed  yourself   as   a sage?

I would tell the   truth  about me   to you earlier,

Since   you would definitely ask  about it to me latter,

I am the  sister   of the  Rakshasa king Ravana ,

My name  being Soorpanakha  and I can assume any form that I  want,

I am living in Janasthana near  my brothers Khara , dhooshana  and Trisara,

And since  I am not able to understand who you are ,

Oh,  treasure  of mercy  please  tell me all the truth.

“Sundari kettu kolga , jnan Ayodhyadhipathi,

Yennude bharya ival   Janakathmaja Sita,

Yennathu  ketta neram   cholinaal nisachari,

“yennodu  koode ponnu  ramichu kollanam nee,

Ninneyum  pirinju povaan  mama  sakthi poraa,

Yenna  nee  parigarahicheedanam madiyathe “

Janaki than kadakshichu punchiri poondu,

Manava veeran   avalodu arul cheytheedinaan,

“Jnan iha   thapodhana veshavum  darichoro,

“Pretty lady please hear , I am   the   son of,

Dasaratha  the king of Ayodhya, my name is Rama,

She is my wife   and she is Sita  the daughter of Janaka,

Blessed one , This  is Lakshmana   my brother ,

Oh Pretty lady, what can I  do for you?

Without hesitation tell me  the thoughts of your mind.,”

Once she heard this   that  Rakshasi told,

“You have to come with me and make love to me,

I do not have sufficient strength to go away from you,

Without hesitation   you should get married to me.”

Looking at Sita   with a broad smile,

That  human hero   told   that lady,

“I  am dressed   as a sage  and move about,

In different forests  all the   time.

She who is  Janaki   is my wedded wife,

And when I think about it  I should not forsake her for any reason,

The sorrow  caused  by  a co wife is very troublesome,

And You would not be able to bear  that pain.”

Lakshmanan  mama bratha , sundaran  manoharan,

Lakshmi  devikku  thanneyokkum  nee yellam kondum,

Yennathu ketta neram  Soumithri sameepe poi,

Chennaval   apekshichal  bharthavakennu thanne.

Lakshmana is my brother, he is pretty and steals the mind,

And you by all means is comparable to goddess Lakshmi,

And oh mind stealer  , it is definite  that you both match well,

And  the desire  will increase  for you more , if it is him,

He is good natured , and has is suitable match to you ,

And so without any delay  go and tell him.”

As soon as she heard this, she went near Lakshmana,

 And requested  him to become  her husband.

Chonnavalodu  chirichu avanum  ura  cheythaan,

“Yennude  paramartham  ninnodu paranjeedaam,

Mannavanaya Raman  thannude dasa jnano,

Raghava vakhyam kettu   Ravana sahodhari,

“Onnaditharam paranjeedallo veruthe nee,

Nininnil yellethumoru  kamksha yennariga nee ,

Mannavanaya   Raman thannodu paranjaalum.”

To her who proposed  to him  , he laughingly replied,

“I will tell you the truth about myself,

Rama  is a king and I am but his slave,

Blessed one , you are not suitable to become a slave,

You  go and tell Rama   who is the lord of the universe,

About your family and their  clannish habits ,

As soon as hears them  he would  accept you,”

Hearing this that  sister  of Ravana,

Again approached  Sri Rama and told,

“You please  marry me, due to that,

You will never have  any problems whatsoever,

King, We will wander  over hills , forests and villages,

And wandering like  that  enjoy all pleasures together.”

Hearing   these   words ,   Rama replied to her ,

“If there is one man, there should be,

Some  lady   to look after  him well,

And I have someone  to do that now,

And he also needs a woman and is in the job ,

Of searching for her and he has found you,

And  just as  he desires god has   sent one,

And so without wasting time ,

Go and hold   his hand immediately.”

Hearing the words of Raghava, that  sister of Ravana,

Went again   to the other lad   and requested and he replied

“Do not tell something for nothing to me,

Understand  that I  do not have  any desire  to you,

Please  go and tell this to king Rama.”

Pinneyum athu kettu  Raghava samipe poi,

Chennu  ninnu apekshichal aasaya  pala tharam.

Again hearing that   she went near  Rama,

And with desire requested him several times,

And  due to non fulfillment of her passion,

And getting angry  due to her great love,

That  Rakshasi got very tired and gave up her ,

Form of illusion   and  she made  her  body,

Like  a mountain of black stone with horrible teeth,

 And   with madness when she went to catch Sita ,

And When Rama was trying to stop her  with worry ,

That boy jumped  speedily  went near her,

Took out his sword and cut of her ears , nose and breasts,

And when he cut off those   she  shouted and wailed,

And that  sound echoed  all over the world,

Like a river flowing in  four or five streams ,

Jumping out of   a very deep blue mountain,

Blood started  flowing from her and that Rakshasi,

Who was like a dark night started  walking fast.

 And that Lord of lords told  that ,

Ravana   would come here  now.

3 .12  Khara vadam

Killing of Khara

Sodari thanne nokki cholinnan asu kharan ,

“mruthyu than  vakthrathingal   sathwaram pravesicha ,

Thatha chollu aarennu  yennodu  ithrayum  viraye nee.”

In front of the   Khara  who was a Rakshasa noble,

When she fell like a  mountain loosing his wings,

And seeing his true sister*  crying ,

That  Khara   told ,” please  tell me ,

About who  has entered  the mouth of death,

So fast, Please  tell me , as fast  as possible.”

       *Soorpanakha is daughter of mother’s sister of Khara.

Veerthu veerthetham  virachu alari  sagadgadam,

Puffed and puffed up and shaking with anger.

With a broken voice, with great desire  and with fear  ,  she told,

“ Both of them are men  and sons of Dasaratha,

They are having good character   and great fame,

And they   are  called   Rama  and Lakshmana ,

And they have a lover and she is called Sita,

Due to the orders of the elder one  ,

The younger one cut off my breasts and other organs  using a sword,

You being valorous , go and kill them,

And give me their blood so that , I can quench my thirst,

I have got a desire  now to eat  their uncooked flesh and drink their blood,

Please  know that.” AS soon as he heard this  Khara  told with anger,

We have kill those bad mannered  worst  men ,

And give them   as food to my sister ,

For that  speedily fourteen of you go,

And you please  go along with them ,

And show them  to these men, So that  these people ,

Will kill all of them without any hesitation.

Along   with her   he sent  fourteen,

Rakshasas   who were   extremely powerful,

Armed with   weapons like, trident, thorn mace,

Steel pestle ,Sword, bow, arrows and  sling  ,

And they were furious  and shouted loudly ,

And when they reached  prepared for the battle,

And with great enmity  all the fourteen of them,

 Sent    all the weapons    by surrounding  Rama.

“yengu poi kalanjithu  ninnodu kode paranjingu,

That Rama who was  greater than the greatest ,

Born in the clan of Sun God , when the  arrows,

Sent by the enemies  came  towards  him,

Sent arrows against each of them and cut them,

And also killed   all the enemies one by one,

Seeing that  Soorpanakha was scared  and ran,

And with flowing tears , she went and fell,

Before   Khara   and started   shouting at him, He asked,

“Please  tell me where  the fourteen people ,

Whom I sent  along with you have  gone?”

“Angu  chennu yeththa neram  Rama sayakangal kondu,

“ At the time when we reached there , Rama using his arrows,

Send all of them to the southern side, so that  they will never come back.”

Told Soorpanakha  and hearing that ,  due to the   great  anger, Khara told,

“Let all the fourteen thousand Rakshasas  come out,

Let  Dhooshana   and my brother   Trishirass  also come.”

And as soon as that horrible khara told like that ,

The very valorous Trishiras   and the army started to the battle,

The  valorous  Dhooshana  as well  as Khara  started walking ,

For  doing   the battle   with great courage.

As soon as   the great  and deafening  sound of the Rakshasa army was heard,

Rama   told   his brother Lakshmana,

“ What  is that sound which makes  the universe shiver?

Possibly  it is   created   by the Rakshasa army that  is coming to fight with us,

There would be  a very terrible war  now,

With courage   you have to do one thing,

You should  take   Sita  in to a cave ,

And guard  her   without   any fear.

I would be sufficient to kill all these in a war,

Do not have any doubt about it in your mind,

And  so he ordered and said that he has nothing to add.

But “Please  protect  Sita with extremely pretty hair.”

Saying  so be it, Lakshmana  took  Goddess Lakshmi,

Saluted Rama   and entered in to a cave with her.

Taking  his bow and arrow Rama dressed  himself ,

For the battle     and was ready with great  joy ,

And at that  time   all the Rakshasas,

All together    sent their weapons at  him.

They threw trees  and big stones  speedily,

On the body  of the lotus eyed  one,

Immediately Rama   sent arrows and cut them all,

And also  sent rain of arrows   at the  Rakshasas,

And killed   the  Rakshasa   army which had

Come near him with the highly stimulated   arrows,

And then their powerful  commander- in- chief Dhooshana,

Came to fight with Rama  , who is equal to Lord Shiva.

And sent very many arrows and Rama easily,

Made   all of them  in to dust by his arrows ,

And he sent four arrows and killed ,

All his  four horses  along   with their driver.

When he cut his bow and cut  off his ensign,

Dhooshana with great anger jumped on the floor,

And later  holding the  very powerful  discuss ,

Made of  hundred measures  of steel, he came,

And Rama cut off his   hand and dashed him,

With the same discuss broke  his head,

And Dhooshana entered   the city of God of death.

When Dhooshana fell , the hroic TRisirass,

With great anger  sent three arrows at Rama,

Rama cut those three  and sent another three,

Trisrass sent three  arrows and cut those three  arrows,

Then Rama  sent hundred  arrows at Trisirass,

He cut them and sent thousand arrows at Rama,

Rama cut those thousand and  the king

sent ten thousand arrows at him,

And that  hero  cut them all .

Using an arrow with a crescent shaped   tip,

Rama cut off his three heads  and plated ball with them,

And at that time Khara riding on a chariot  shining like sun,

Came over there  and twanged his  bow,

And showered   several arrows  at  Rama.,

And he cut them off one by one by his arrows,

And by  the arrows of Rama  as well as those of Khara,

The entire sky and earth was covered  from proper vision,

Khara   then cut off  the  horrible bow  of  Rama,

And sending arrows at his wrist  Khara ,

Wounded   the body   of Rama and cut it in various places,

The Good people  , sages   and devas ,

With great sorrow said alas , alas  and ,

Wished and prayed for victory to Rama.

With great fear the sages and devas  repeated the same.

Then immediately that bow which was deposited,

Earlier by Indra with  sage Agasthya ,

Wonder of wonders  was seen in the hand  of Rama.

When he was holding   that  chief  bow of Lord Vishnu,

Ramachandra  filled   all the directions  with the power of Vishnu.

He then cut the   bow  and armour  of Khara ,

And his ear studs , necklaces  as well as  his crown in half a second,

He killed his  driver of the chariot, horses   and powdered his chariot,

And when the primeval lord   was approaching him,

Khara  got in to another  chariot immediately,

And Rama destroyed that   also with his arrows.

And again Khara  took a mace  and neared Rama,

Rama made  that  in to pieces  by  his arrows,

Then Khara  with great anger got in to another chariot,

And started   sending   arrows at  Rama.

Rama sent the the terrible arrow  of fire,

And his effort was stopped  by arrow of Varuna by Khara,

Then he send arrow of Khubera  which was ,

Stopped  by arrow  of Indra   by Rama,

And seeing that  his arrow was stopped by the king,

That  Rakshasa hero  send the arrow of Niryathi,

And  when that  was stopped by  arrow of Yama by the valorous Rama,

He sent the arrow of wind   which was stopped by arrow of Indra by Rama,

Then that  Rakshasa hero  sent arrow of Gandharwa which was  ,

Made  peaceful  by  the arrow of Gowhyaka  by Rama,

And with great anger  he  sent the arrow of AAsuras,

And this was stopped by the auspicious arrow of Gods by Rama,

And then Khara  sent  the very sharp  arrow of Isheeka ,

Which was destroyed   by the arrow of Vishnu   by Rama,

And that  arrow killed the driver of the chariot of Khara  as well  as the horses,

And seeing that  his  chariot also was made  in to powder,

The Commander of the Rakshasa approached  Rama,

Very angrily  holding a trident  and when he came near,

Rama sent the arrow of Indra deiva ,

And that lord of the earth cut off the head of Khara.

Veenithu Lanka nagaro Uthara dware  thala ,

THooni pukhithu  vanna banavum athu neram,

Kandu  Raksharellam   arude  thalayennu,

That head fell in the northern gate of  the city of Lanka,

And after  that    that  arrow went back to the quiver of Rama,

Seeing that   head  all the Rakshasa of Lanka,

With   stupid look  started  discussing with each other.

Khara dhooshana   trisirakkalaam nisachara ,

Varurum  pathinalayiravum  marichathu,

Jnanavum labhichathu Raghavan pakkal ninnu,

Manase pradakshinam cheythudan namaskarichu,

Aamodham poondu koopi sthuthichar  pala tharam.

Seeing the death of the chiefs Khara, Dhooshana and Trisirass,

As well as    the  fourteen thousand   other asuras,

Within one and half hours by the valour of Rama,

The sister of Ravana   fell on the earth.

The dead  fourteen thousand Rakshasa,

Assumed  an auspicious form  at that time,

And getting   wisdom from  Rama ,

Mentally went round Rama   and saluted him.

And with great joy  started praising Rama several times.

“Namasthe  padambujam  Rama, Lokabhirama ,

Salutations to your lotus like feet , Oh Rama,

Oh God who is attractive  to all the  world,

One who destroys all sins, one who fulfills desires of those who worship him,

OH God of all, Oh ocean of mercy, Oh Lord of Raghu clan,

Let our mind get entertained  in you, Oh consort of Lakshmi,

The saints meditate  daily on your lotus like feet,

And  remove their sorrow of birth  and death,

Once we   did penance  to the great god,

Made him happy  and when he came  before us ,

WE requested , “Remove the restlessness of differentiation,

And you please  become an axe which cuts the root of  domestic life”

To the great God and due to that That great God told us.

“Yamini charnmaarai  janikka  ningalini,

Ramanai  avatharicheduvan jnanum bhoomou,

“Now you go and be born  as Rakshasas,

I  would be born as   Rama   in  the earth,

And I will kill you  , who are  in the body of Rakshasas,

And on that day  give you salvation, there is no doubt about it”

So said Lord Parameswara    on that  day and because  of that,

It is definite that you who are  the lord of Raghu clan in Parameswara,

And so please teach us divine knowledge and give us salvation,

Oh Lord   who is   the form of   real divine joy.”

And at that time when they requested him like this, Lord Rama,

Sporting a slow smile  , with great joy told ,

“To the body, the senses, mind, soul   and pride ,

 The witness   is the   divine God,

Above the differing states  of wakefulness and dream,

Is the witness  who is  the  only true divine joy  called the  divine Brahmam,

It stands as a witness  to the ever changing states like childhood , youth etc,

And above   time  difference like morning  noon and evening .

The great God   is   the soul of the divine Brahmam,

And once you meditate  on that  you will get salvation.”

After  teaching them like this , and granting them salvation,

The god of gods, the cause of the universe, the son of Dasaratha,

Raghava  after killing fourteen thousand Rakshasas,

In one and half hours And Lakshmana along with Sita,

Came there   and saluted him and seeing the wounded body of her husband,

With eyes raining tears the daughter of Videha slowly and slowly,

Caressed  the wounds so  that  the pains would get reduced,

 And also  slowly  made   even the scars  disappear.

Seeing  the  Rakshasa heroes  lying dead ,

Lakshmana in his heart ,  became really   surprised ,

And the Lord of lords   at that time  told,

“Ravana   will come now” and then he ,

Soon   sent Lakshmana  by telling him,

You go and tell all the sages,

About the war that we fought and the death,

Of Khara , Dhooshana   and Trisira  along with other fourteen thousand.

You please  tell this to them and come back.”

And after  the  destroyer of the sins  told  like this  and sent Lakshmana,,

Lakshmana   went and told the sages ,

About the news of the  death oh Khara.

The  sages  were convinced that  the time ,

Of the enemies  of men would come to an end eventually,

And after great thought together  they made ,

Things that would   be antidote  for the magic of  Rakshasas,

For all the  three a ring , a hair brooch and an armour

And gave it to Lakshmana   and bid him farewell,

Lalkshmana    brought all the three   and kept them,

At the feet of Rama  and saluted him with devotion,

That lotus eyed one took the ring for himself and wore it,

Gave the hair brooch to Sita and gave the   armour,

And   asked   him to wear  it,

The sister of Ravana  cried and then afterwards,

Went to go and complain to Ravana ,

And Soorpanakha who was like a mountain of black stone ,

Fell  before   the king of Rakshasa and complained .

To his sister  who did not have  nose , ear and breasts,

And  was  full of blood , he told,

“Why dear, Tell me the truth ,

What is the reason for this disfigurement ?

Sakrano,  kruthanthano  , pasiyo  , Kubherano,

Is it Indra, Yama , Varuna   or Khubera,

Whoever has done this bad thing, I will subdue him,

Please tell the truth”   and at that time she told,

“ You are a great fool , drunkard who never get satisfied by drinks,

One who is under control of women , greatly adamant , and what do you know?

Why are  they calling you  king , unnecessarily?

Do you not get   any news  from your spies?

Are you not always lying down serving women?

Have you not  heard   that  Khara , Dhooshana   and Trisirass,

Along with fourteen thousand people have died?

Rama  sending his arrows beat and killed  them,

Within a period of one and half hours, Bad  if we think?

Hearing   that the ten faced  one asked,

“Please tell me   who is this Rama,

What is the reason for his killing  ,

I will give him to the God of death now.”

The sister   then told    Ravana,

“Lord of the Rakshasa  clan, please hear the truth,

One day  I was  happily wandering in Janasthana,

And    when I was travelling from there ,

Through the forest  , I reached the bank of Gowthami river ,

And when I was happily  staring at Panchavati,

I saw Rama  on whom the world depends in a hermitage ,

Along with  matted hair   and dressed in wooden bark,

And also shining     carrying his   bow and arrows,

He  was in the garb of a sage   along with  his wedded wife ,

And   with his younger   brother Lakshmana,

And   at that  time  I went near  them.’

Sri Ramoth sange vazhum  bhamini  thanne kandaal,

If  one sees  the lady who is  living with Rama,

There   are  no other  ladies in  the world like her ,

And even among ladies of  Deva , Gandarwa  , naga and men,

One cannot see one like her, one cannot hear  also.

Even the wife of Indra   and other  lady celestial dancers ,

Would hide themselves with shyness  , if they see her,

And for seeing even for god of love , she is a goddess,

And would say   that the man who marries her ,

Would be the lord of earth and now there  is no problem for that,

And deciding that  she is suitable  to become  your wife,

I tried   to bring   her   with me.

Lakshmana with great anger then cut  my nose ,

Ears   and breasts then as per the orders of Rama,

I went  and told about what happened  to Khara,

And he  along with big army  of Rakshasas,

With great fury  fought   with Rama ,

Who completely destroyed them within one and half hours,

That  Rama  if  he is displeased   would make  the universe in to ash in a second,

And  when we think of   his valour  , it is greatly wonderful.

“Kannal  ner mizhiyaalaam  Janaki devi ippol,

If that  Janaki who has fish like eyes becomes,

Your wife now , you will get  the great success in life,

If you make   efforts  to quickly  make her ,

Near   yourself  it would be really  great,

Oh enemy of devas , all your abilities,

Would   increase if you  start  living with her.

You  do not have sufficient ability to fight Rama,

For even Lord   Shiva would not be able to fight with him,

So  using some trick you  attract   those boys,

And then you can bring the pretty bodied one.

After hearing the words of his sister like this,

With kind words he consoled her and speedily,

He went   to his  private   room of sleep,

Due to thoughts in his mind , he did not get sleep,

“As far as  I think   this  is wonder of wonders,

How can a mere man   within one and half hours,

Kill   the powerful Rakshasa lord Khara,

And his two brothers  who were expert in war,

Along   with  fourteen thousand members of an army.

It is definite   that  Rama is not a human being,

The lotus eyed  god who loves his devotees,

Who is the god who grants salvation and Mukunda  who is loved by his devotees,

Due to the prayer of Brahma which was done earlier,

Has been born as human being in the earth, in the clan of Raghu,

And if he   comes  prepared   to kill me,

I can go to Vaikunta    and look after  that place,

Otherwise   I can live here ruling the Rakshasa kingdom,

When I think  there is no reason for a worry as of now,

And I need  not have any hesitation,

To fight  with Rama who blesses with auspiciousness.

After  thinking like this and taking a decision , that lord of Rakshasas,

Along with philosophical thought  , became  divinely happy,

Once I know that   Rama    is really Lord Narayana,

That  lord of Rakshasas remembered  the old story,

“With a mind that  hates him, you can easily reach Rama,

And just by devotion     he would not be happy with you.”
