The march of Ravana and his army.
“Aareyum porinnu ayakkunnathallini ,
Nere poruthu jayikkunnathundallo .
Nammodu koodeyullorkal ponneduga,
Nammude therum varuga” yennan avan,
Venmathi pole kudayum pidipichu ,
Ponm mayamayoru theril karerinaan.
I will not send any one else to the war,
I can go and win over them myself,
Those who are with me , please come,
And let my chariot come “ told he ,
And like a full moon and others holding umbrella,
He climbed on to a
golden chariot,
AAlavattangalum , venchamaranglum,
Neelathazhakalum , muthu kudakalum,
Aayiram vajikale kondu
pootiya ,
Vayu vegam poonda theril karayeri,

Harangal aadhiyaam abharanangalum,
Pathu mukhavum irupathu kaikalum,
Hasthangalil chapa banayudhangalum
,
Neeladri pole nisachara nayakan,
Kolahalathode koode purapettan.
With round fans and white
chowries ,
With blue decorations , pearl umbrellas ,
He climbed on a chariot with wind like speed,
Drawn by one thousand
horses.,
Along with crowns which were like peaks in
Meru mountain,
With garlands and other many ornaments ,
With ten faces , twenty hands ,
And holding bow and arrow in his hands ,
Looking like a blue mountain, that Lord
of Rakshasas,
Departed with much din and
fanfare .
Lankayilulla Maha radharellam ,
SAnkha rahitham purpettar anneram,
Makkalum manthrikal thambimarum ,
Marumakkalum , bandhukkalum , sainya palarum,
THikki thirakki vadakku bhagathulla,
Mukhyamaam gopurathode theru
there ,
Vikramameriya nakthanjaranmaare ,
Okke puro bhuvi kandu Raghuvaran,
Mandasmitham cheythu nethrantha samjayaa ,
Mandam Vibheshanan thannodarul cheythu.
At that time all the great warriors of Lanka,
Without doubt departed with him and at that time,
His sons ,ministers , brothers ,
Nephews, relations , chief of armies ,
Crowding and crowding the northern tower
Which was the most important gate ,
And seeing so many valorous Rakshasas,
Outside the town Rama
smiled and making signs with the eye,
He slowly told Vibheeshana.
“Nalla veeranmaar varunnathu Kanedo ,
Chollenam mennodu ivare yadha
gunam,”
Yennathu kettu Vibheeshanan , Raghavan,
THannodu mandasmitham cheythu
cholinnan,
“Bana chapathode balarkka kanthi
poondu,
AAna kazhuthil varuvathu Akambanan,
Simha dwajam poonda theril karayeri,
Simha parakrama , bana chapathodum,
Vannavan Indrajithakiya Ravana,
Nandanan, namme munnam jayichaan avan,
Aayodhanthinnu Bana chapangal poondu,
Aayathamoyuru theril karayeri,
Kayam valarnnu Vibhooshanam poondu ,
Athikayan varunnithu Ravananthanmakan,”
“See here very many heroes are coming,
Please tell about them to me in order.”
Hearing that Vibheeshana
told Rama with a smile,
“He who comes with luster of
young son,
Carrying bow and arrow and riding on an elephant is
Akambana,
Riding on a chariot with a lion in
the flag,
And carrying bow and arrows Is
one as valorous as a lion ,
And is Indrajit who is the son of Ravana
,
And one who defeated us earlier.
Riding on a long chariot, with a big body,
And wearing many ornaments,
Is the son of Ravanantha”
Ponnaninju aana kazhuthil varunnavan,
Unnathan yetham Mahodharan mannava,
Vaji meleri parigam thrippavan,
Aajisurendran visalan, Naranthakan,
Velleruthin muikalil yeri trisoolavum,
THulichirikunnavan , trisirassallo,
Ravanan thanmmakan mathethinangethu ,
DEvanthakan theril varunnu
mannava ,
Kumbhakarnathmajan kumbhan angethavan ,
THambi Nikumban parigayudan allo,
Deva kulanthakanakiya Ravanan,
Yevarodum namme velvaan purapettu.”
The one wearing gold and riding on elephant’s neck,
Is a great one and is called Mahodara ,
oh king,
The one riding on a horse and rotating an
iron pestle ,
Is one of the chief soldiers called
Naranthakan,
Riding on a white buffalo , holding a trident,
And keeps on jumping and laughing is Trisiras,
Another son of Ravana who is on
other side ,
Is Devanthaka who comes riding on a
chariot,
Next one is Kumbha , the son of Kumbha karna,
And next is Nikumba armed with mace and is
his brother ,
And Ravana the killer of the clan of devas ,
Is riding with all to kill all of us.
“vambanayullor ivanodu porinnu,
Mumbil adiyannu anugraham nalkanam,
Yennu Soumithriyum chennu irannedinaan,
Mannavan thanum arul cheythithu anneram.
“Please give me permission to
fight ,
With this great one and bless me”
Begged the son of Sumithra ,
And the king replied at that time .
“vruthrariyum poril vithrasthanai varum
,
Nakthancharendranodu yethal ariga nee ,
Mayayum undu nisacharar kethavum,
Nyayavum milla avarkku aarkkum orikkalum ,
Chandra chooda priyan aagayum undavan,
Chandra hasakhyamaam, valum undayudham,
Yellam niroopichu , chitham urappichu,
Chellenam allo kalahathinnu” yennellam,
Sikshichu arul cheyththu ayachranantharam,
Lakshmananum thozhthasu pin
vanginan.
Even Indra would get
defeated if he,
Fights with Ravana , please understand
this,
And all Rakshasas have magical powers,
And they never observe justice in war ,
And he is the one liked by
Lord Shiva,
And he has got the sword called Chandrahasa ,
Thinking about of these , with a firm,
Mind only we have to go for a war with him,”
And when he told all this as if he was a
student ,
Lakshmana saluted him and went back.
Janaki chorane kandoru nerathu ,
Vanara nayakanakiya Maruthi ,
Therthadam thannil kuthichu veeneedinaan,
AArthanai vannu nisachara
nadhanum,
Dakshina hasthavum ongi paranjithu ,
Raksho varanodu Marutha puthranum.
Seeing the thief of the Janaki ,
The monkey chief Hanuman,
Jumped and fell on his
chariot ,
And chief of Rakshasas was worried,
And extending his right hand ,
That son of wind god told the
Rakshasa lord.
“Nirjaranmaareyum thapasanmareyum,
SAjjanamaya mathulla janatheyum ,
Nithyam upadravikkunna ninkku ,
Vannethum aapathu , kapi kulathal yedo,
Ninne yadichu kolvaan vannu nilkkunorenne,
Ozhichu kol veeran ennagil nee ,
Vikramam yeriya ninnude puthranaam,
Aksha kumarane konnathu
JNanedo”
Yennu paranju onnadichaan kapeendranum,
Nannai virachu veenan Dasa Kandanum.
“To you who daily troubles devas,
sages,
Good people and other people .
The danger has come from the clan of monkey.
If you are really valorous , try to remove me,
Who has come here to beat and
kill you ,
I am the one who killed
your very,
Valorous son Aksha Kumara “
Saying this that king of monkeys beat him ,
And that ten necked one shivered and
fell.
Pineyum unarnnu chonnan ,” Ividekinnu,
Vanna kapikalil nallanallo bhavan,”
“Nanma yenthayathu yenikkithu kondu,
Nammude thallu kondaal mathoruvarum ,
Mruthyu varaathe jeevippavar illallo,
Mruthyu vannela ninakkathu kondu jnan,
Yethrayum durbalan yennu vannunammil,
Ithiri neraminnum poruththidinam “,
Yenna nerathonnadichan dasananan,
Pinne mohichu veenaan kapi sreshtanum.
He got up and told, “among all
the,
Monkeys that have come
today are you not the best”,
“What good did I get because of
that ,
No one is there who does not die once
they get my beating,
And death has not come to you , so,
I have become weaker than you,
Let us fight little
more “,
When he told like this , the ten faced one
hit him once ,
And the great monkey swooned and fell.
Neelan anneram kuthi kondu
Ravanan,
Mele kareri kireedangal pathilum,
Villu than melum kodi marathon melum
Ullasamodu makutangal pathilum,
Chadi kramena Nrutham thudangeedinaan,
Paadi thudanginaan Naradanum thadhaa .
Neela at that time jumped
,climbed ,
On Ravana and started dancing on,
His ten crowns, on his bow, on his flag post,
And with happiness on his ten heads,
One after another and at that
time,
Narada started singing.
Pavakasthram kondu pavaka puthrane ,
Ravana yeithudan thalli viteedinaan,
Thalkshane kopichu Lakshman vegena ,
Raksho varane cheruthaan athu neram,
Bana ganathe varshichar iruvarum,
Kanaruthathe chamanjithu porkalam,
Kanaruthathe chamanjithu porkalam,
Villu murichu kalanjithu Lakshmanan,
Allal muzhuthu ninnu dasa kandanum.
Using the arrow of fire Ravana pushed ,
Away the son of fire
God ,
Immediately Lakshmana became
angry ,
And speedily fought with
Ravana at that time,
Both of them rained arrows at each other,
And the battle field became invisible ,
Lakshmana cut off the bow of Ravana,
And that ten necked one stood worried.
Pinne Mayan koduthoru vel Soumithri ,
Thannude maril ammaru chattedinan,
Asthrangal kondu thadakku aruthanju ,
Soumithriyum sakthiyethasu veeneinaan,
AAdalai veena kumarane chennu ,
Edutheeduvan aau bhavichu Dasananan,
Kailasa sailam yedutha Dasasyanu
,
Bala sareeram illakaruthanjithu.
He then threw a Vel given by Maya ,
On to the chest of
Lakshmana ,
Since he was not able to stop it by arrows ,
Lakshmana fell down hit by the spear,
That Ravana tried to
lift ,
That young man who fell tired ,
But to him who could lift the Kailasa
mountain,
That boy’s body appeared immovable.
Raghavan thannude gouravam orthu athi,
Laghavam poondithu Ravana

Kandu nilkunnoru Marutha puthranum,
Mandi ananju onnu adichaan Dasayane ,
Chorayum chardhichi theril veenan avan,
Maruthi thanum Kumarane thalkshane ,
Pushpa samanam yeduthu kondu adharaal,
Chil purishan mumboil vechu vananginaan.
He then thought about possible weight of Rama ,
And became nonplussed and ,
Hanuman who was seeing all this,
Jumped and with full force hit
Ravana,
And Ravana fell down vomiting blood on the
chariot,
And Hanuman immediately carried ,
Lakshmana like a flower and
with respect ,
Placed him before Lord Rama.
Marum pirinju Dasamukhan kayyil ,
Ammaru pukku Maya dathamaam sakthiyum,
TRilokya nayakanakiya Ramanum ,
Poulasthyanodu Yudham thudanginaan.
That spear given by Maya , went away,
From the chest of Lakshmana and went to
Ravana’s hands ,
And Rama the lord of all the
three worlds,
Started war with Ravana belonging
to the clan of Pulasthya.
Gandha vahathmajan vandhichu chollinaan,
“Pankthi mukhanodu yudhathinnu yennude
,
Kandameri kondu ninnaruli kolga,
Kundatha yenniye kolga Dasasyane “,
Maruthi chonnathu kettu Raghuthaman,
AAruhya thal kanda dese
vilanginaan,
Chonnan dasayan thannodu Raghavan,
“Ninne yaduthu kanmaan kothichen thulom,
Innathinnasu yogam vannithakayaal,
Ninneyum ninnodu koode vannoreyum ,
Konnu jagat thrayam palichu kolluvan,
Yennde mumbil ara kshanam nillu nee.”
At that time the son of the scent
carrier saluted and told,
“For the war with the ten faced one ,
Climb on my neck and be comfortable ,
And without any effort kill the ten headed one”
Rama hearing what was told by Hanuman,
Climbed on the neck of Hanuman ,
And told that Ravana as follows,
“I have had great desire to see you
from near,
And since that luck
has come to me,
I would look after the three worlds ,
By killing you and all those who have come
with you ,
Please stand in front of me for half a
second,”
Yennarul cheythu sasthrasthangal thooginaan,
Onninnu onnu oppamai than Dasavakthranum,

Lakshyamakki prayogichaan athi drutham,
AAlasyamayithu banam yethu anneram,
Poulasthya chapavum veenithu
bhoothale.
After seeing this he rained arrows and weapons,
And Ravana also counted each one of them by another
,
And war at that time
became very terrible ,
And the sea got shaken and churned ,
When Ravana sent an arrow and wounded Hanuman,
God Rama became extremely angry ,
And becoming very bold sent an arrow,
Aimed at the heart of Ravana speedily ,
And when the arrow hit him with speed ,
The bow of Ravana fell on
the floor.
Nakthancharadhipanaya Dasasyannu,
Shakthi kshayam kandu sathwaram Raghavan,
Therum kodiyum kudayum kuthirayum,
Charu kireedangalum kalanjeedinaan ,
SAradhi thanneyum konnu
kalanja alavu,
AArooda thapena ninnu Dasayanum.
Seeing the weak state of the ten faced one,
Immediately Rama destroyed his,
Chariot , flag , umbrella , horses and
pretty crowns,
And also killed his charioteer,
And Ravana stood there with
increasing sorrow,
Ramanum Ravanan thannodu arul
cheythaan,
“Aamayam param ninakkundu manase ,
Poyalum innu , bhayapadayka yethume ,
Neeyini lankayil chennu angirunaalum,
AAyudha vahanathodu orumpettu kondu,
Ayodhanathinnu nale varanam nee “

,
Orakulam poondu thirinju nokki
thulom ,
Vepadhu gathranai mandiram prapichu ,
THapamundayathu chinthichu mevinaan.
Rama then told Ravana
at that time,
“In your mind there is great tension,
You go today without any fear ,
You can go to Lanka and be there today,
Along with weapons ,and vehicles ,
You have to come tomorrow well prepared.”
Hearing these words of Sri Rama,
The ten faced one started walking fast ,
Under the fear that Rama’s arrows ,
Were following him , with great worry,
He was looking back several times,
And reached his palace with body full of
sweat,
And became worried because
of the problems that he faced.
The just words of Kumbhakarna,
Manavendran pinne Lakshmanan thanneyum,
Vanara rajanaam arkathmajaneyum,
Ravana Bana vidhaithanmaaraaya,
Pavaka puthradhi vanaranmareyum ,
Sidhoushadham kondu rakshichu thannude

Sidhantham yellam arul cheythu mevinaan.
That king of men later saved Lakshmana,
The son of Sun God who was the
king of monkeys and
Neela and other monkeys who were stuck
by Ravana’s arrows,
By use of divine medicine and ,
Also told them about his principles .
Rathrincharendranum bruthya janathodu ,
Perthum nijarthikalorthu cholledinaan,
“Nammude Veerya balangalum keerthiyum,
Nanmayum arthapurushakaaradhiyum,
Nashtamai vannithodungi sukruthavum,
Kashta kalam namukku aagatham nischayam.
The king of Rakshasa told his
servants ,
Remembering the events that have happened,
“My valour ,
strength and fame ,
The good things and my
virility ,
Have all been lost and luck has reduced ,
I am sure that bad time is coming to
me.
“Vedhavu thanum anaranya bhoopanum,
Vedavathiyum , Maha Nandikesanum ,
Rambhayum pinne Nalakhoobaradhiyum,
Jambari mumbaam nilimbavaranmaarum,
Kumbhodhbhavadhikalaya munikalum,
Shambhu pranayiniyaya deviyum,
Pushta thapo balam poondu pathi vruthya ,
Nidshtayode maruvunna sathikalum,
SAthyamai cholliya sapa vachassukal,
Midhyayai vannu kooda yennu nirnayam.”
Lord Brahma himself , king Anaranya ,
Vedavathi , the great Nandikeswara ,
Rambha and later Nalakhoobara ,
Indra and the devas with
him,
Many sages such as Agasthya ,
Parvathi who is the consort of Shiva,
Many virtuous women with deep penance ,
Who were observing
strict virtue ,
Have cursed me and I
feel that ,
They can all never become lies.
(Note: Barhma gave him a boon that he cannot be
killed by any one except a man or a monkey.Anaranya was an ancestor of
Rama who was killed by Ravana . He cursed and told that Rama will be born
in his clan and kill him. Vedavathi was a lady who was doing
penance to marry Vishnu. When Ravana caught her hand , she jumped in the
fire and died. She cursed him that if he touches any lady
without her permission his head will break in to pieces. She was reborn
as Sita,. Rambha was the lover of Nalakhoobara , the son of Kubhera. When
he insulted Rambha they cursed him.He once called
Nandikeswara as a monkey and he cursed him that
his town will be destroyed by monkeys. He lifted Kailasa and
made Parvathi afraid and she cursed him.)
Chinthichu kanmin namukku iniyum puna-

Think about what we can do now,
To again reach victory , Hey,
Go and wake up Kumbhakarna ,
Who is equal to god of death , without any delay.
We cannot wait for six months to wake him up,
As he has started sleeping
only nine days ago,
Please somehow wake him up with love .
Rakshasa raja

KKambham varuthinaar , yenthoru

As send by the king of Rakshasas,
Each Rakshasa tried to wake him up,
By playing Aanaka , Dundhubhi and other
musical instruments ,
And making horse army, Elephant
army and soldiers,
Rub , jump on and shout at
the top of their voice ,
And also created great din , what a
surprise.

SAmbramichodinaara aasara

They poured thousand pots of water,
In Kumbhakarna’s ears and they made,
Big elephants pull his nasal hairs,
And made elephants shout ,
But that Indra’s enemy did not have ,
Any botheration but suddenly,
He woke up with a yawn,
And those Rakshasas ran scrared.
Kumbha sahasram nirachulla madhyavum,

Bruthya janangalum vannu vananginaar.
They offered thousand pots of Alcoholic
drinks,
Thousand pots of blood , hill
like cooked rice ,
And seeing them becoming happy he got up,
Then he ate meat and other food items,
And became happy , washed his mouth by
gargling,
And the servants came before him and
saluted him.
Karyangal yellam ariyuchu , unarththiya,

“Yengilo, vairigale kola cheythu jnan,

Cholli purapetta neram Mahodaran,
Melle thozhuthu paranjaan athu neram,
“Jyeshtane kandu thozhthu vida vangi,
Vattam varathe poi kolluga
nallathum.”
When he was informed of all news,
The brother of Ravana heard the reason
and told,
“And so I would kill all the enemies.
And come back after solving the
sorrows,”
And when he started Mahodara ,
Slowly saluted him and told
at that time,
“Please see your elder brother , salute him,
And without getting tired, take leave
from him.”
Yevam Mahodharan chonnathu kettavan,

Chedichathinnu jnan Janaki dEviye,
Sri Rama Lakshman mar ariyathe ,
Kandarasmini kondu vecheedinen.
Hearing what Mahodara told him,
He went and saluted Ravana ,
Who embraced him tightly and ,
Made his brother sit near him and told,
“Please remember these matters ,
And hear the things that happened,
When the cut the nose and
breasts,
Of our sister , I went and stole ,
Janaki when Rama and Lakshmana ,
Were not there and kept her in the hermitage
Varidhiyil chira ketti kadannavan,

He built a bridge on the ocean ,
And came for war along with a monkey army ,
And killed several people
including Prahastha ,
And without any effort he also cut me,
And sent me killed without killing and
because of that,
I became greatly worried and made
others to wake you up,
And you please
save me by ,
Killing all those men and monkeys.”
Yennathu kettu chonnan Kumbhakarnanum,
“Nannu , nannethrayum nallathe nallu kel,
Nallathum theeyathum than ariyathavan,

Hearing that Kumbhakarna told,
“Good , very good , only good is good , hear,
He who does not know good and bad,
If he obeys the
advice of those,
Who know what is good , then it
is good,
For others would good ever happen?
Please give back Sita to
Rama
Said our brother to
you and that made
You very angry , It is good that you drove
him out ,
Think of good , you will know,
He got from all places that which
is good,
And all his future would be
good ,
And that is not a crime.”
“Nallathu orutharaalum varuthavathalla,

No body can bring good to you,
Worries would come when danger is coming,
Due to time , place and due
to principles,
The time of enemies and their
valour differs.
If there is a
minister who studies,
Enemies and friends and the
mediators ,
And the changes in wealth and
virility ,
The four tricks and the six methods ,
And then guess as to what is likely to come,
And advices his boss
for his good,
Then the boss would get a pleasant life
,
And his fame would greatly
increase.
Ingane yulloramathya dharmam vedinju,
Yengine Rajavinnu ishtam yennal athu,

Moola vinasam varumaru nithyavum,
Moodarayullor amathya janangalil,
Nallathu kakolam yennathu cholluvor,
Allal visham undu avarkkenni yillallo.
Forsaking this type of dharma of a
minister ,
Telling the king what he likes to hear ,
So that what is told gives him happiness in
ear,
And acting day by day as if he has great self
respect,
And daily see to it that destruction
comes to the king,
Are the foolish ministers and to those
Who say that poison is better
than them,
Would get the poison of worry and nothing
else.
Moodaraam manthrikal chollu keeteedugil

Nadum, ayussum kulavum nasichu pom ,
Nadha bhedham kettu mohichu chennu chernuu.
AAdhi muzhuthu marikkum mruga kulam,

Mathsyangalum rasathingal mohichu,,
Chennu athal pedunnu baleesam grasikkayaal,
Aagraham onningal yeriyaal aapathu ,
Pokkuvaan avathallatha vannam varum.
If you obey the advice of foolish ministers,
The country , our life and our clan would be
destroyed,
Animals hearing a different sounds , get attracted
,
And go there and die because of
their problems,
Similarly the butterflies get attracted
by fire,
Silently go and fall in the fire and die ,
And fishes get attracted by the food offered,
Go get suffering because
they catch the hook,
And so if we have too much desire
, it leads to danger ,
And sometimes it would not be possible
to avoid these.
Nammude vamasathinnum nalla nattinnum,
Unmoola nasam varuthuvan aayallo ,

Oh king of Rakshasas, I came to know ,
About your growing desire to
Sita ,
Which is leading to complete
destruction,
Of our clan as well as our

He who is a slave to his senses ,
Will never have a day without any
danger ,
And to one who can rule over his
senses,
No danger will come at any time.

Though we know that a
particular thing is not good,
Our desire or interest some times travels to that ,
By the interest that we inherited from
previous births,
Whatever we try out , we would be in
its grip only,
But is there any one who makes his mind
detached ,
From it by the scientific
advice and wisdom, please try to find out?
In our previous discussion did I not ,
Tell you the future result of
what we are thinking now?
And that has now come in to reality ,
And God’s will can be stopped by no one.

Rama is not a man but Lord Vishnu,
Who is all worlds and is divine ,
Sita is the goddess Yogamaya ,
Please understand this in your mind,
Had I not told this to you earlier ,
Oh king , Why did I tell you like
that ?
One day , in a very big pleasant forest ,
In the hermitage of sages Nara and
Narayana,
With happiness I saw sage Narada
and saluted him
Yethoru dikkil niinu agathanaiyithennu,
Adaravodu arul cheyka Maha mune ,
Yenthoru vruthanthamullu

Antharam koodathu arul cheyka “yennellam,

“From which direction have you come .
Please tell me with love , great sage ,
And what are the news in the
universe ,
Please tell me in a plain manner” I asked,
And he told me
all the news in detail.
“Ravana peedithamaarai chamanjoru ,
DEvakalum munimarum onnichu ,
Deva devesanaam Vishnu Bhagawane ,
Sevichu unarthichu sangadamokkave ,
Trilokya kandakanakiya Ravanan,
Poulasthya puthran atheeva dushtan,

Yengum irikkaruthathe chamanjithu.”
The devas and several sages ,
Greatly troubled by Ravana ,
Served and told their sorrow ,
To Lord Vishnu who is the god of gods ,
“Ravana who is the bad one of the three
worlds,
Is the son of Poulasthya and is a bad
one and also cruel,
And he keeps on troubling all of us ,
So that we are not in a position to
live anywhere.”

Clearly Lord Brahma has earlier
told,
That his death will not come by any one
other than man,
And so Sir, please take birth as man,
And protect truth and Dharma .
When they told him like this , That
Lord Vishnu,
With a mind mixed with mercy told them.
“Pruthviyil jnan Ayodhyayayam Dasaradha ,
Puthranai vannu pirannu ini sathwaram,

In this earth I would be born
as a son,
To Dasaratha of Ayodhya quickly,
And kill the chief of the Rakshasa
clan,
And solve all problems of the three worlds,”
And along with his Sakthi ,
that ,
Truth loving God , has come as Rama,
And he would now kill all of you,
And auspiciousness will come to the world,”
Saying that the sage disappeared,
Remember this well in your mind ,
Rama is the divine Brahmam, the primeval one
,
The pretty one who is black like blue lotus
flower.

Pray Rama , who has only taken up that
form of illusion,
By your body and mind, for Rama would be
pleased with devotion,
Devotion is the mother of
ultimate wisdom,
Devotion is always the one granting
salvation,
To those who do not have devotion , all
acts are useless,
Though there are
innumerable incarnations ,
To the lotus eyed Vishnu ,
I will tell you,
The opinion of the wise which will,
Help you to throw all
doubts far , far away.

No other incarnation is equal to Rama,
For just by chanting his name you would get
salvation,
The divine Shiva who is the
form of wisdom ,
Is the one who has taken the human form of
Rama ,
And he is the one who tells that he is the
divine Brahma,.
You please sing the names of
Rama,
And cross the ocean of domestic full of
misery,
And attain the
lotus feet of Rama ,
And permanently get rid of sorrow.

The philosophers permanently keep
,
Rama in their mind and
daily meditate on him,
Tell his story , Chant his names ,
See and see the souls of
all beings,
Become one with Lord
Vishnu ,
And easily merge in to the stable
joy .
Please throw away these longings of illusion,
And start singing about
that idol of joy.
The killing of Kumbha Karna

Hearing what his brother
told,
The ten headed one with very great
anger told,
“I did not wake you up to preach
wisdom to me,
You immediately go and pleasantly serve
your sleep,
I came to know today that you are
intelligent,
And from now on I will hear Vedas and Sastras from
you,
When my sorrows go away , I would lead a
pleasant life ,
If yes, immediately go for the
war ,
And come back after killing Rama and
others.

Hearing the words of his elder brother this
way,
That Fierce Kumbhakarna
started walking,
Leaving out his worries, thinking that,
If Rama kills him in war , he would get
salvation,
After crossing the gate
like a very tall ,
Mountain king, shouting and with great speed,
Carrying his steel trident weighing
thousand stones ,
When he entered the monkey army ,
All the monkey warriors started
running away.
Kumbhakarnan varavu kandu aakulaal,

Worried at seeing the coming of Kubhakarna ,
With great fear , Rama asked
Vibheeshana,
“Who is this very powerful Rakshasa,
Surprisingly he is as tall as the
sky,”
And as an answer to that Vibeeshana told as
answer,
“ He is the brother of Ravana and
my elder brother ,
He is very strong and very wise ,
Killer of devas, liable to sleep ,
And no one can win over
him.”
Thacharithrangal yellam ariyichu ,
Chennu ichayaa poorvajan kalkkal veenidinaan,

Then he told all his stories ,
And of his own accord he fell at the feet of
Kumbhakarna,
“Brother , I am Vibheeshana and I
am your devotee ,
Please bless me with
love ,
I told with respect to Ravana to give back Sita ,
AS much as I can and seeing that
with a knife in hand,
He was coming near to kill
me ,
I became scared and with four ministers,
I came here and sought the protection of the
consort of Sita.

Hearing these words of Vibheeshana ,
With a very happy frame , he hugged
him,
And then he patted him on his back and said,
“You are auspicious and nothing else ,
Let you live in this world for many years ,
Go on serving the lotus feet of
Rama,
You who is pure, greatest devotee,
Darling of Lord Vishnu are sure,
To be able to protect our clan,
That is what sage Narada
told me ,
This world is filled with illusion,.
Go near the lotus feet of Rama.

Hearing that saluting him , with great
sorrow,
Shedding lot of tears
he retired back,
And reached near Rama and when he
was standing thoughtful ,
Kumbhakarna with great anger
started killing ,
The monkeys with his hand and leg ,
Getting scared and not able to come near,
The monkeys started running to all
sides ,
And like an elephant king in rut within half a second,
And like an elephant king in rut within half a second,
He killed hundred thousand
monkeys.

The king of monkeys seeing that took a
mountain,
And threw it with his hand and this was stooped
near the chest,
And Kumbakarna hit Sugreeva with
his trident,
And he fell fear stuck and swooned ,
Then that Rakshasa carried him,
With great joy and started
walking .

When the Rakshasa chief returned ,
Winning in the war and taking Sugreeva with
him,
The ladies becoming extremely
happy ,
And with increasing joy , threw at him,
Garlands dipped in rose
water and sandal paste ,
So that his tiredness will
greatly decrease ,
And when this fell on the king of
monkeys ,
He got up from his faint and with great anger
,
Using his nose , ears
and nails cut off his ties,
And rose up and travelled
in the sky very fast.

Getting angry and having lost his face ,
And with inner fear and being anointed with blood,
When he was seen coming again
,Lakshmana,
Neared him with great
preparation,
And went on raining arrows like ,
Throwing them on a huge mountain ,
He in turn was swallowing hundred
thousand monkeys ,
At a time many of them were
,
Coming out of his nose and ears but,
Then he continued swallowing them.

That Rakshasa after deep
thought ,
Disregarding Lakshmana , speedily,
Neared Lord Rama and seeing that,
Rama with great speed sent
several arrows,
And cut off his right hand and
trident ,
Immediately those
parts fell on the battle field,
And several monkeys and Rakshasas ,
Died due to those falling on
them.

Taking a huge tree in his left hand ,
That Rakshasa came very near Rama,
He sent Indrasthra and cut it and by ,
Falling of which many enemies of Indra died,
And then with great anger that lord of Rakshasas,
Came very near at
that time,
Then using two crescent shaped arrows,
He cut off his very tall legs.

For swallowing opening his mouth very wide ,
That Lord of Rakshasas again approached him,
Rama filled his mouth with arrows
,
And by sending an arrow cut off his head,
And Indra at that
time became happy,
And the head went and fell
at the gate of the town,
And the body fell on
the earth.

Ravana heard the news of Khumbakarna’s death,
As if he would go mad and fell swooned on
earth ,
Within a short time he was all
right again,
And he started crying telling various things,
That very sad ten faced one
was saluted by ,
Trisirass, the very big valorous Athikaya ,
DEvanthaka , Naranthaka, Mahodhara ,
Mahaparswa , Matha and Unmatha together
,
And they were very strong valorous
Rakshasas,
And they all wanted to go to war,
And told the very bad
Ravana as follows.
“Dukhipathinnenthu kaanam , jnangal ,
Chennokke ripukkale konnu

Yudhathinai ayachedugil jnangale ,
Sathrukkalal oru peedayundai varaa.”
What is the reason for
this sorrow ,
We can go and kill all the enemies ,
If you sent us for war now ,
And then there would not be any fear from
enemies.

“If it is so , you go and
fight the war,
And remove my sorrow, “ said the ten faced
one ,
“ There is an army which extends
beyond sight ,
You can take that and kill
every one,”
The ten headed one gave them weapons
Vehicles and ornaments to a large
extent”
In the middle of the army
spreading like water ,
Those eight great warriors
started for war,
And as soon as they saw them the monkey army
started the attack.”

The army which is beyond
numbers ,
Spread like a sea was sent to,
The house of god of death ,
As soon as it was seen , what a surprise?
The Rakshasas seeing the valorous
ones,
Armed with stones , mountains
trees,
Started killing those monkey heroes,
By spraying them with arrows within a minute.

The elephants, horses , chariots and
army in bare foot,
And very fearful Rakshasa warriors,
Died in large numbers and the rivers of blood,
Were seen in many places ,
Endless bodies without heads,
Started dancing in that
place .
Seeing that many Rakshasas have died,
With very great anger Naranthaka
came near.
KUnthavum yenthi kuthirappuram yeri ,

Riding on a horse and armed with
a spear ,
When he speedily came near like
the God of death ,
Angadha hit him with his fist , wounded
and killed him.
Devanthaka armed with an iron pestle ,
Neared the grandson of Devendra and so did,
The valorous Mahodhara riding on
an elephant ,
And Trisiras riding on a chariot ,
And Angadha fought with all the
three ,
And the devas praised Angadha at that
time.

Hanuman and Neela who were seeing
this ,
Ran and came and helped him at that
time .
Hanuman killed Devanthaka ,
The valorous Neela killed Mahodhara,
And Hanuman beheaded all the,
Heads of Trisiras and killed him.
Maha parswa came at that time to fight
,
And the powerful Vrushabha killed him,
Matha and Unmatha also died,
Fighting with these monkey chiefs.

The universal hero Athikaya at that time,
Riding on a chariot drawn by one thousand horses,
Which was full of weapons , and wearing
a bow,
With expertise in arrows and with great
pride ,
Made a small twang signaling
readiness for war ,
And when the son of king of Rakshasas came
near ,
Unable to stand because of fear
all the monkeys,
Lifted their tails and
started running.

Marutha devanum manushanai vannu ,
SAranaam Soumithriyodu cholledinaan.
Lakshmana went and fought
with,
Athikaya who was greatly clever .
When all the arrows of Lakshmana reached
there ,
They turned back and fell down ,
Becoming thoughtful and not knowing what to do,
When Lakshmana was standing like
a blind man,
The wind God took the form of a man,
And told the great Lakshmana as
follows.
“Pandu virinchan koduthoru kanchukam,
Undathu kondu ivannu yelkilla ayudham.
Dharmathe rakshichu kolluvaan innu
ini ,
Brahmasthram yeythu ivan thanne vadhikka nee.
Pinne ninnal vadhikka pedum Indra jithu ,
Unnathanaaya dasasanan thanneyum,
Konnu palikkum Jagathrayam Raghavan,
Konnu palikkum Jagathrayam Raghavan,
Yennu paranju maranju sameeranan.
Long ago Lord Brahma
has given him a chain mail shirt,
And because of that no weapon will strike him,
To protect Dharma today , you ,
Send a Brahmasthra and kill him .
Later you would kill Indrajith ,
And that great Ravana would
be ,
Killed by Rama and he would protect the world,
Saying this that wind god
disappeared.

AAmayam poondu seshicha raksho ganam,
Ravananodu ariyichar avasthakal,
Haa, Vidhi yennalari Dasakandanum.
Lakshmana then fixed the name his
brother in his mind,
And sent the Brahmastra and that
immediately ,
Cut off Athikaya’s neck and his head,
Fell on the ground at that
time ,
And with great joy all the monkeys took
it,
And placed it before Rama and
saluted him,
Fear stuck the remaining Rakshasas
,
Went and told the facts to Ravana,who cried,
Oh , this is fate , shouted he.
Victory of Indrajit

Sons , younger brothers , nephews,
Very bold army commanders,
Ministers , all of them who were
Dear to me have died, Oh Shiva, Oh God,
Why should now good things happen?
When he was wailing like this ,
Indrajit went and saluted
his father.
Khedam undakaruthu yethume manase ,

You should not have any sorrow in
your mind,
AS long as I am
alive ,
I would kill all the
enemies and come ,
And so please relax here without any
worries
And also bless me to win the war.”
Hearing that Ravana hugged his son,
Please go and return with victory.
The great son again saluted his father ,
And along with his army started
marching.

With an intention of pleasing Lord Shiva,
Indrajit entered the place called Nikumbila,
After collecting the materials for fire
sacrifice ,
He started the offering in
fire at that time,
Wearing a red flower colour cloth
garland and
Also applying sandal paste
in his body,
With devotion he raised the fire ,
With an intention of increasing his power.
That son of the king of Rakshasas,
Chanting clear chants with correct colour
and intonation,
And after completing the
proper Karmas ,
Speedily by the grace of fire god,
He got weapons arrows , bows and chariots,
And also getting the technique of disappearing,
Without any worry completed the
fire offering ,
And started for a war with
Rama and others.

When he entered the battle field , the
monkeys ,
Fighting with Rakshasas and were shouting and stoping
them,
Megha Nadha started sending the arrows,
Like a torrential rain at
all of them,
With stone , trees and mountains,
Those very terrible monkeys ,
Started very badly beating him.
The elephant , horses, marching as well the
chariot soldiers,
Were sent to the place of God of death,
And seeing that their ends were nearing that
son of Ravana,
With sorrow disappeared from there ,
And went on sending the collection of
Brahmastra at them.

The trees started burning and falling down,
And monkeys also started falling
,
And on the bodies of the great monkeys,
Fifty, hundred , two hundred and five hundred
Arrows fell splitting their bodies again and again,
With shivering and fear they fainted and
started falling.

Like this the sixty seven
crores of,
Monkey chiefs fell dead on
earth,
And so did twenty seven vellam* of monkeys.,
After Sugreeva the son of Sun God
fell,
When The devas told among themselves ,
Now nothing more can be done
And were standing greatly
worried,
With vengeance Megha Nada, the great warrior
Sent an arrow and made Rama fall
down,
And the world was drowned in sorrow and
became immobile ,
And for the victory of the Lord of Rakshasas,
The enemy of Indra blew his
conch,
And went inside city of Lanka and
stayed there,
And the deva society were
drowned in great sorrow.
A
huge number
