6.20 Oushadha Harana Yathra

The journey to  bring medicine.

Kaikasi nandanan aaya   Vibheeshanan,

BHagwathothaman   , BHktha parayanan,

Pokkuvan  melil aapathu  jnan yennorthu ,

Porkalam kai vittu    vangi ninnedinan,

Kolliyum minni kidakkunnathil  pranan,

Ullavar   aararu  ariyenam yennu orthu ,

Nokki nokki sancharichu  thudanginaan,

AAkka merum   Vayu putthranum anneram,

AArini yullathu  oru sahayahinennu,

AAraika    venam yennu  orthavanum  thadhaa,

Sakha mrugangal  kidakkunnavarkalil ,

Chakathaavar     athil aarennu nokkuvaan ,

Ekakiyai   nadakkunna neram thathra  ,

Raghava Bhakthan Vibheeshanane  kandu.

Vibheeshana   the son of Kaikasi ,

The very wise man and a great devotee,

Thinking that he would avoid danger  in future  ,

Stayed   away from the   battle field.

With a light of a burning stick ,

He was searching   for those  who were alive,

Among those    who were  lying there ,

And travelled  to various parts.

At that time the very powerful  Hanuman,

Thinking that  he has to search and find out,

Who is available to help him,

Was searching   for the live persons  ,

Among the   monkeys who were  lying there ,

Was walking alone    a nd   then ,

He Saw  Vibheeshana   the devotee  of Rama.

Thammil anyonyam arinju   dukham poondu,

Nirmalanmar   nadanedinaar   pinneyum,

Padhoja sambhava  nandanan  Jambhavan,

 Thathan anugraham kondu  moham theernu,

Kannu mizhippan aruthanju irikkumbol,

Chennu Vibheeshanan    chodichadaraal,

“Ninnude   jeevan undo  kapi  pungava  ,

Nannyithengil   nee yenne    arinjitho?

Recognizing each other  and becoming sad  ,

Those pure people    walked   further.

Jambhavan the son of he who was born out of a lotus ,

Due to the blessing of his father   , waked up  from the swoon.

And   when he was not able    to open his eyes,

Vibheeshana approached   him and asked ,

“Oh monkey ,  are you alive  , if so,

Are you able to recognize   me?”

“Kannu mizhichu koodaa , rudiram kondu,

Ninnde vakku kettu ullil Vibrahthi may ,

Rakshasa rajan   Vibheeshanan yennathu  ,

SAkshaal paramartham     yennodu chooluga,”

“Sathyam  Vibheeshanan aayathu jnanedo  ,

Sathyamathe”, punar yennathu kettavan,

Chodhichithasaradheeswaran  Thannodu,

“Bodham undallo  bhavanetham aagayaal,

Megha Nadhasthrangal   yethu marichoru,

SAkha mrugangalil  nammude   Maruthi  ,

Jeevanode   punar yenganum   undengil,

AAvathellam  thirayenam miniyadaa.”

“I am not able to open my eyes  due to blood ,

Hearing your voice    I  have  a feeling,

That you are   Vibheeshana,   the king of Rakshasas,

Please   tell me    the real truth.”

“True  , I am Vibheeshana  , myself ,

That  is the truth”,  Hearing that   he again told,

“You are having consciousness,

It is necessary to   do a great search,

To find out if our   Hanuman is alive  ,

Among  all the monkeys  , who have died,

Hit by the   arrows   of Meghanadha,”

Chodhichasu  Vibheeshanan “Yenthedo,

Vathathmajanil Vathsalyam undayathum,

Rama , Soumithri   Sugreeva   Angadhadhikal,

Avar   yevarilum viseshichu   nee,

Chodhichathenthu   SAmeerana puthrane ,

Modhichathenthu avane   kurichethavum?”

Then  Vibheeshana   asked  , Why ,

This special affection to the son of wind God,

Especially  when  Rama, Lakshmana, Sugreeva   and Angadha,

Are   there ? Why did you ask    about Hanuman?

Why are   you worried  about him more?”

“Yengilo kelkka nee   , Maruthiyundengil,

SAngadamilla   matharkkum yennarinjalum,

Marutha puthran  marichathu yennakil  ,

Matharum   illokke  marichathinnu okkume  ,”

Sara sambhava  puthra vakhyam kettu  ,

Maruthiyum    bahumanichu sadaram  ,

“Jnan ithallo  marichela” yennavan   Kalkkal  ,

AAmodhamul kkondu   veenu  vananginaan.

“Then please hear, If Hanuman is there ,

There is no sorrow  for   anyone else , please know,

If the son of wind God has    died,

Then no one is there and all are equal to dead.”

Hearing these    words   of  son of Brahma,

Hanuman respected   him  well,

“I am here . I am not dead” saying this,

With joy   he fell   at the feet of Jambhavan.

Gadamai aslesham   cheythu Jambhavan,

Koode thalayil  mugarnnu  cholledinaan,

“Meghanadasthrangal yethu   marichoru  ,

SAkha mrugangaleyum  pinne nammude  ,

Poka venam nee  HImavaneyum kadannu ,

Akalum mathu  Kailasa sailatholam,

Kailasa  sannidhiyingal vrushabhadri  ,

Melundu   Divya oushadangal yennu ariga,”

Jambhavan hugged  Hanuman tighly  ,

Smelled    his head  and then told,

“There is nobody except you   who  can

Bring back to life    all the monkeys,

As well as   both the Raghavas,.

You have to go even beyond Himalayas,

More distance   till the Kailasa  mountain,

Before Kailasa    on the Vrushabhadri mountain,

Please  know that   the divine  medicines   exist.,”

Nalundu  Divya oushadangal    avathinu,

There   are four divine medicines , Please hear ,

The name of all the four of those,

First    is the Visalyakarani  , second ,

Is the Santhanakarani , third one  ,

Is the Suvarna Karani  and   the fourth  .

I will tell my friend, is the Mrutha Sanjeevani ,

You will find two peaks  standing out,

And these  medicines   are standing in between them.”

Adhithyanolam prabhayundu nalinnum ,

AAral vaiga  marunnukalum kondu,

Itham Vidhi suthan vakkukal  kettavan,

Bhakthya thozhuthu   mahendram yerinan.

All these   medicines have the shine of the sun,

Understand   that they are  a form of Vedas,

Crossing the sea  ,  forests  , mountains,

Pretty rivers  , countries,

Come near   here   along with the medicine,

Oh son of wind God  , without any delay.”

Hearing these words  of the son of Brahma,

Saluting with devotion, Hanuman climbed  the Mahendra  mountain.

Meruvinolam   valarnnu chamanjavan ,

Nere   dara nadiyum alakapuram ,

Meru giriyum  Rishabadriyum  kandu,

Maruthi vismayapettu  nokkedinaan.

Hanuman grew as tall as  Meru mountain,

Crossed the sea , many great mountains,

And  without any doubt    shouted  in such a way,

That Lanka as well as the Rakshasas there ,

Started   shivering , and with  a speed of wind,

He jumped    and went up the sky  ,

And he who went  crossed Himalayas,

Crossed place of Brahma ,mountain of Shiva,

Crossed the Dara river , Alakapuri the place  of Kubhera,

And saw  The Meru mountain as well as Rishabhadri ,

And he saw   them with great   wonder.

The great Spies   of Ravana   when  they,

Came to know that Hanuman has  gone ,

For the medicines   , without any one knowing,

Went   and told about it to   the king of Rakshasas.

Hearing the    words   of the spies , Ravana ,

For some time thought   about it ,

And after   some  time being thoughtful,

Started    from his   inner house   at night,

Without any one accompanying him,

Reached    the house   of Kalanemi(His uncle),

And seeing him Kalanemi was greatly surprised,

With great joy  and fear  saluted him,

Hospitably treated  him and asked,

“What is the reason   for coming here ,

Before sun rise   and that  too,

Without any  one accompanying you ?

Dukha nipeedinakiya   Ravanan,

Kalanemi thannodu cholledinaan,

“Yikkala   vaibhavam yenthu chollavathum,

Mannavan mareyum  Vanaranmareyum,

Konnu rananganam  thannil veezhthidinaan ,

Venni parayum  adipichathu athmajan.”

Ravana  who was  affected   by sorrow  addressing Kalanemi told,

“What shall I tell about present times?

I came to tell   everything to you.

Due to being hit by my Shakthi ,

The powerful Lakshmana   fell on the floor,

And later my son using   the Brahmasthra ,

Killed all the  monkeys as well as the kings,

And left them to die in the battelefield,

He also arranged to play the victory Drum.”

Innu jeevipichu  kolluvaan  Marutha,

Valla kanakkinum nee   varuthidenam.

To bring them  back to life  the son ,

Of Wind God   has  gone for a  medicine  .

You have   to go and create  any obstacle for that,

And I will also tell you a trick,

You go  in the  middle of his way as a sage  ,

And tell him    about how  we can destroy sins  ,

And by attracting him like that   ,

Somehow   create a delay for him.”

THamasa  vakkukal ketta nearm Kala nemiyum,

Ravanan thannodu chollinaan,

“Sama vedajna , SArvakjna , Lankeswara,

NInne kurichu marippathnnu  kalam,

Yennullil yethum  madiyilla nischayam,

Marichane kanakke   marippn mana,

Hearing these   base   words , Kalanemi,

Told Ravana as follows,

“Expert in Sama Veda, Know all , king of Lanka,

Please hear   my words   which are peaceful,

Definitely I do not have any hesitation,

To die    for you   at this   time.

I do not have   any doubts ,

About dying   like Maricha,,”

After  the death of your children  , brothers, nephews,

Good son of sons  , servants  by your living,

Except sorrow  , what is the use?

Having  this country    what is the further use?

What is the use  by   your   Sita?

Alas, what   is the use   with  this  your ,

Useless  body, Please   think about   it ?

You go and    return   Sita to Rama,

And give your kingdom to your brother ,

And become a sage   and live in the forest,

And daily   with extreme purity of mind  ,

Get up   very early   in the dawn,

And see   the sun rise    with great devotion,

Then complete    the worship of dawn,

Sit  comfortably  in a lonely place   , become contented,

Leave out attachments   to everything ,

Bring to control  all the five sense organs,

See  in your mind the   soul of souls,

The cause for creation, upkeep   and destruction,

Of    the    tree   of the universes,

Is the illusion which    also gives  rise,

To bodies   of copper  , white and black colour.

Passion  and anger    are   her sons,

Attachment   and cruelty   are   her daughters,

She would  attract   the soul  , through  her properties,

And make   it in to  hers.

Anwaham maya   guna   vimohathinaal .

Dedicating  the role of doer   and consumer  ,

Daily   to  the soul which is itself God,

And making him, her own  she ,

Constantly   plays    with him,

The pure , divine  , single  soul,

Is seen externally   united   with  her,

And due to her characteristic,

We  tend   to forget  our  own soul.

If    he were    taught   by    a  Guru(teacher)

Who himself   is   the pure form of wisdom,

He would get   rid of the attachments by sense organs,

And  would be able   to see  clearly    always see the soul,

And he would get  all that he wants,

And seeing the natural  characteristics,

He would get salvation by being detached  with the body,

You also think  always of your  soul,

Get freedom from the clutches  of illusion,

And   understand that  soul  is different from nature  ,

And live   without desires , winning over passion,

And always  live   in deep meditation  ,

And then remember  you will always be joyful.

Suppose you are not able to meditate  ,

Drench the mind    with devotion,

Daily depend   on the God with a form,

With  a  greatly pure mind   always ,

Keep in the  lotus  of your mind, on a golden  platform,

Which is decorated by gems  and which is pure,

Which is polished   , soft   along with Sita ,

Served by Lakshmana  , Rama  holding a  bow and arrow ,

Sitting like a valorous hero , with broad eyes ,

Wearing an yellow silk resembling lightning,

Wearing garland  , crown , armlets, rings,

Gem studded  ear studs, anklets ,

Pretty bangles  , golden belts , Kousthubha gem,

Wearing Lotus garland  and  forest   garland   ,

With  Sri vathsa on his chest , The blessing to Lakshmi,

Vasudeva  , Mukunda  , Janardhana  ,

Who is the divine  god living in the heart of all,

Who is the divine god of all , who is saluted by truth,

Who likes   those  who surrender  to him,

With great  devotion  to the divine soul and   if you meditate  ,

You would get salvation    definitely.

If you spend    all your time   ,

By  reading  or hearing his story  ,

And always chanting   “Rama, Rama”,

How can new  re  births take place,

And definitely the stain   in you,

Which has  been accumulated,

 Would   be completely   destroyed.

Ending your enmity , along with devotion,

You  please  sing about that  God Rama  ,

He is god who is complete  ,   single  ,

And   who is alwaysthere  and  keep that divine form

Of that  Purusha  In your  heart

The one who does not have  a form or name ,

And  who is ancient   and peaceful and is the  God   Rama.

“ninne   vetti kalinjittu   ini karyangal,

Kalanemi   kshanadhaacharan ,

Moolamellam vicharichu  cholledinaan.

After   hearing the nectar   like words,

That were spoken by  Kalanemi,

The king of Rakshasas became red eyed  with anger,

And took his sword to cut   Kalanemi’s neck and told,

“Now all other   things are   only   after ,

Cutting you, the   rest can be thought of later”,

And then the Rakshasa  Kalanemi,

Thought  of all the fundamentals  and told.

“Raksasa  Raja  , Dushtathman  , Mathi , mathi,

Rookshathaa   bhavam ithu kondu   kim phalam?

Ninnude sasanam   jnan   anustippan,

Athu yennde   sadgathikku yennu darikka nee

Sathya swaroopathe   vanchippathinnu   jnan,

Adhya  samudhjyukthana aayen   madiyathe.”

“Ok Rakshasa  king, Oh  bad soul  , this is sufficient,

What   is the benefit  of this angry form of yours?

I would obey your   orders,

Please  understand it is for my good,

Without any hesitation , I am prepared ,

To deceive the    person of the form of truth.”

After saying this  , very near  the Himalaya  mountains,

He went and sat in the   garb   of a sage,

A hermitage was seen there due to illusion,

Where he was being served by many sages ,

As well as disciples , people and servants,

Seeing the hermitage of saint there , the son of wind god,

Stood there  thoughtfully , “What   is the basis ,

Of this hermitage  here? I have not seen this earlier,

Has a  some blockade come in my way,

I think this is only   an imagination   of my mind?

I will some how see   the saint quench my thirst,

By some drinks . and I will see the great medicine ,

Which is on the very high  mountain called,

Dronachalam by the blessing of   the great Rama.”

Itham niroopichoru yojanayatham,

After deciding like this he entered  without any difficulty  ,

One yojana long very big  hermitage of  illusion,

Which had a forest of Plantain, jack fruit. Dates,

Coconut and mango which was complete ,

With a lake   of plenty of fresh water ,

And there  the Rakshasa  Kalanemi .

Was performing the Indra  yaga, as the chief performer,

For getting   the blessings   of Lord Shiva,

And seeing  him living there doing   the worship  of Shiva with devotion,

Hanuman  saluted  that   sage who was   a chief Rakshasa,

And    that  son of wind   God   told him like this.

“Rama dhoothoham  Hanuman ithi  mama,

Namam , pavanjan anjana nandanan,

Ramakaryarthamai  ksheeramburasikku ,

SAmodham innu  pokunnu thaponidhe  ,

Yengume parkarathu yennu yen manogatham.

“I am the   emissary of Rama  , my name  ,

Is Hanuman , I am son of wind   God and Anjana ,

I am going to the ocean of milk  , for the  work,

Of Rama  with joy, oh great sage ,

I came here to protect my body,

I am terribly thirsty   and I want  ,

Some water  to drink , please  tell me  ,

Where  is it available as  I do not,

Want to wait at    any place.”

Maruthi chonnsathu  kettu Nisacharan,

Karunya bhavam nadichu  chollrdinaan,

“Mamakamaya   kamandalu sthalam , jala,

Mamayam , theeruvolam kudicheeduga  ,

Manava veera  nireekshithar   aakayaal,

Mohavum   thernnu yezhunethithellavarum,

AAhavaithinnu  orumichu ninneedinaar.”

That   Rakshasa  hearing what Hanuman told ,

In a tone which was  mixed with great mercy,

“Please drink as  much water  you want from my water  pot  ,

And after  eating    sweet ripe  fruits,

Throw away your sorrow and sleep for some time,

And do not have   any worries from now on,

I would be able to see  by my divine sight ,

Your  past present  and also the future,,

And since it is very clear  I will tell you  ,

Since the monkeys and Lakshmana  are  ,

Under the  supervision of  the great human hero,

They have all awoken from the trance  ,

And are standing together    for sacrifice .

Tham aakarnya   chonnan kapi pungavan,

“Yethrayum  karunya saliyallo bhavan,

Param peruthu  may daham    athu kondu,

Poraa  kamandalu samsthithamam  jalam.”

 Hearing that   , the great monkey told,

‘You  appear to be most merciful one,

My thirst   is  of very great intensity,

And so the water in your water pot is  ,

Not   sufficient for my need.”

Innu nalloru mathraopadesam  cheyvan.,”

When the son of wind God told this  ,

He sent a Brahmin boy made created by  illusion,

And told him to show  the lake of water ,

And then   Kalanemi told Hanuman,

“Close your eyes   and drink the water  ,

And then reach me back quickly ,

And then   I would teach you a chant,

Which would make it easy for  finding out the divine medicine.”

Hearing that   with belief  ,  Hanuman,

Went along with the Brahmin boy who was sent,

Closing his eyes, and when he reached the bank of   the lake,

And when he was    about to drink the water,

One very big  she crocodile came  ,

And when it was    trying to swallow  the big monkey,

The great monkey opened  his eyes and saw.

Seeing that she crocodile with an  open mouth,

That monkey with his  hands  spilt her   holding to her  mouth,

And she went up  leaving her body,

And that body also appeared  like lightning, wonder of wonders,

 And he saw her in a sacred   aero plane  ,

As a lady with divine form,

And as an Apsara maiden who was   extremely pretty,,

And she told the son of wind God at that time.

“Ninnude karunyam  undagayal  yenikku,

Innu vannu   sapa moksham kapi vara  ,

Munnum   oru apasra  sthree jnan , oru muni,

Due to your having mercy  , Today ,

I got freedom from my curse , Oh monkey chief,

I was an Apasara  maiden earlier and due to,

The curse  of a sage  I became a Rakshasi,

My name   is Dhanyamala , Oh great one,

Gentle person , you have to understand one thing more,

The sage   that    that you saw  in the holy hermitage  ,

Is a Rakshasa   called  Kalanemi who is a bad one.

Ravana prerithanai, vannirunnavan,

Krvyadha vamsam asesham  odukkuga,

Jnan ini brahma lokathinnu   pokunnu,

Vanara veera , kusalam bhavikka   they.

He has come  here as per the wishes of Ravana,

To create   roadblocks on your way,

That  one who troubles sages  , devas and Brahmins,

Has put on the   garb  of a sage .

Speedily kill that one  throw him away,

 Reach the drona mountain  with great  joy,

And take away the divine  medicines,

And completely destroy the Rakshasa   clan,

I  am now going to the land of Brahma,

Oh monkey warrior   good luck and health to you.

After she went away  , Hanuman,

Went   to Kalanemi the magician,

And that Rakshasa   told him,

“Why this delay in coming back?

Do not waste more time and come to me,

I would now teach you the   root chant,

And then you salute me and give my fees,

And then you would become an expert.”

Immediately   that  monkey chief  moved his ,

Strong fist speedily towards  the head of Rakshasa   chief,

And beat   him once with that, and he  ,

Went   and reached  the place of God of death.

After  saluting the ocean of milk  and the Drona mountain,

Hanuman also saluted  Vrushabadri , the home of medicines,

But he could not see  any medicine   there,

Becoming angry because he was not able  to see,

He uprooted the mountain, holding it like the  moon,

With love he placed   it before   Rama,

And put an end   to the problem of the army.

Sri  Rama became    very happy  ,

And  Lord Shiva   was also happy Because of that,

And when the wind of the medecine touched them,

Every one   got up because  the ill was lifted off,

“ Without any doubt  This mountain  has to be ,

Placed  wherever it was otherwise ,

How can we  kill the Rakshasas.”

As soon as it was told by him,

Hanuman took the mountain and rose up,

And  within half a minute he came back.

Because  as per the orders  of the Rakshasa king ,

The corpses  of the dear Rakshasa  soldiers,

Were  daily put in the  sea, none of them came alive.

The Raghavas   and the great monkey warriors ,

Left off their sorrow   and started becoming normal,

Sugreeva and Angadha    told    the monkey chiefs,

“No monkey now should be outside the city,

All cross in , break its walls, keep fire in all houses ,

Go on cutting  all trees one by one ,

Fill up the   wells and lakes, level up  ,

The moats   and towers  and gates ,

Almost all the Rakshasas have been subdued,

And if there   are courageous one left among them,

Being baked in fire   they will come out  ,

Send them immediately   to the land of God of death.”

Hearing that  , along with burning   wooden sticks ,

They entered and started setting fire  to one by one ,

The homes towers  , mansions , simple dwellings,

And Black lead  , gold  , silver   and   copper,

Armories  , ornaments  , places where  fire sacrifice  is conducted ,

Bath rooms , groups  of elephants  and horses,

The Rakshasa  ladies being burnt and  started running,

And   with increasing pain died one after  other,

And Sri Rama belonging to the clan  of the sun god,

Rained  sharp and pointed arrows at them,

And told  that   the victory  of the enemy of Indra ,

Was really surprising  and unexpected ,

And   the sound of the shouting of   the Rakshasas,

The sound of the cry   of the   Rakshasa  ladies,

The sound of the twanging of the bow   of the king among men,

The sound and shouting of elephants   that were being burnt,

The sound of the monkeys   standing and shouting  ,

And the sound of the very pitiable   horses ,

Went on   filling and echoing   the   surroundings,

  And being greatly worried   the valorous ten headed one ,

Immediately   told Kumbha  , the elder  of the sons,

Of KUmbakarna    to go to the war.

His  younger   brother  Nikumba   at that time,

Saying I would be first   started immediately,

Kumbha  , Prajanga , the great  Yoopaksha ,

And SAnithaksha  with a great army  ,

Also started for the war     and with great mirth ,

The   monkey warriors also neared  them.

Shouting at night   and then coming near  and fighting  ,

The Rakshasas were   dying   in large numbers  ,

And the monkeys were    getting their bodies split ,

By    the very sharp  arrows   and weapons and

Were  falling  on the ground   and also ,

BY catching  beating   hitting biting and powdering  ,

And becoming angry  were uprooting trees ,

And shouting that by trees   we would not be defeated ,

The Rakshasa  monkey  fighting  was going on,

And  acting that  they were all proud ,

They were   sacrificing    their body,

After   about   two hours   were past,

Several  Rakshasas went to the place of God of death.

At that   time a Rakshasa called Kambana  ,

Came to  attack with force  and  many monkeys,

Died because   of the hit of arrows from him.

At that time   Angadha(the son of the son  of enemy of Jamba)   got angry

Seeing that they were   destroying without any sense ,

And  after   he killed   Kambana ,

Following him   neared  three asuras called,

Prajangana  , Yoopaksha   and sonitha nethra.,

And Angadha getting angry neared them,

And fighting with those   three  Rakshasas,

The son of Bali became   very tired.

Mainda    and Vividha   at that  time,

 Came near    and joined the fight  ,

The son of Thara  killed  Prajangana,

And similarly the very strong Vividha ,

Killed  the Rakshasa  called   Sonithanethra,

And Mainda   killed   Yoopaksha,

After   those four Rakshasas

Entered   the    world    of death,

Kumbha came near    and started  showering arrows,

 And those powerful monkeys ran away.

Sugreeva then jumped   on his chariot  ,

Fell there   and with fierceness broke his bow,

And when they were   doing fist fight  ,

Suddenly Sugreeva threw  Kumbha in to the ocean,

And after   churning the ocean   the very fierce Kumbha,

Came   out of the ocean climbing,

And seeing that , the son of Sun God  became angry,

And sent him to the place of   the son of Sun god(Yama-the god of death.)

When Sugreeva  killed his elder   brother,

The very powerful Nikhumbha  along with a iron pestle,

Like   Lord Shiva at the time of destruction,

Neared  making a sound   of a lion,

Hanuman  replaced    Sugreeva  ,

And immediately opposed  NIkhumbha from near by,

NIkumbha   with the iron pestle beat on the chest of Hanuman,

And that  iron pestle broke in to pieces   and fell on the floor,

And the son of  the  life breath of    the world,

Becoming very angry took away Nikhumbha’s   head and threw  it.

The remaining Rakshasas  fled out of fear,

And   the monkey warriors   followed and neared   them,

And entering Lanka they started   breaking it,

And this news was   informed to the  king of Lanka,

And hearing about the death  of Kumbha   and others,

That enemy   of Indra   became very scared.

Then  addressing  Makaraksha    the son of Khara  ,

With very great anger   the ten faced one told,

“You please    go and win over   Rama and others,

And come back “  and hearing that  Makaraksha  ,

Along with his army   started and ,

With preparation     neared the   battle field.

He showered   snake   like arrows,

In the form of   flames   of fire,

And the scared  monkeys   not able to stand,

Went and requested protection from Lord  Rama,

And that Ramachandra  as soon as he heard it,

Positioned   the  bow and twanged it  ,

And  shouting stop , to the   best among archers,

And     showered   arrows   at him.

For each arrow  Makaraksha sent another arrow  ,

And the body of the lotus eyed one was wounded,

And when they were   fighting with each other,

The son of Khara    became   little    tired,

And then  Rama   cut off   his  flag,  umbrella and horse,

And   the bow   that  he was having  in his hand,

And also powdered    his chariot   and also ,

Killed   his charioteer  at that time,

Using the pavakasthra   he cut off  the head,

 Of Makraksha    who jumped on earth,

And was approaching him with   a   trident.

And this way he reduced   the danger to the devas.

Indrajit who came to know of this became angry,

Drove away all those who came to inform this,

And informed    Ravana   about it,

And hearing that    Ravana was the  the death of all devas ,

Started   along   with his assistants  ,

Making the fourteen words   shiver.

Seeing   that   his son Indrajit,

Bowed   to both  of his  feet  and said,

“” Now   I will kill all the enemies ,

And remove the   sorrow from your mind,

You retire to the private quarters and be there ,

And you should not have any sorrow because of this. “

Saying this    he saluted   his father  ,

And that Indrajit   started    for the war.

Seeing the preparations for war  , Lakshmana ,

Went to Sri Rama      and told him,

“Daily hiding himself  this son of Ravana,

Kills us and the monkeys sending arrows.

How long should we tolerate   it?

Let us send   Brahmasthra   and completely ,

Destroy   the clan of the    Rakshasas.”

Hearing    the words   of Lakshmana  ,

That   God Rama Bhadra      told as follows,

“ In a war  We should  not   use  Brahmasthra  against,

Those who are   running  away from the battle,

Those who have lost their weapons  ,

Those who do not come in front of us ,

And those who out of fear   come and fall at our feet,

If we do it , it is a sin for every person,

I will do war against him   and all  of you,

Without  any fear   see  what  I do.”

Saying this   when he twanged his bow  ,

And was   standing ready     for the battle  ,

Indrajit  thought and ordered  , went,

Inside the    city of Lanka  , kept a  illusory  Sita,

In the chariot and came out of the western  gate .

All the monkeys stood without moving at that time,

And seeing the illusory Sita in the chariot they   felt sad,

And because   of it    Hanuman also got worried.

While all the monkey warriors were  looking,

He cut the head of Sita without   any mercy,

And she   with an open mouth entreated , ,

“alas  , Lord Rama  , Rama  “, The blood spread  ,

And seeing that Hanuman thought,

Further war   will not have any  shine,

And Oh God what   thing can be more dangerous than this,

Let us retreat now    and we have   to inform,

Our lord about the death of Sita urgently.,

Seeing the sad   Hanuman     going   behind,

All the   monkey chiefs  Rama   told,

Jambhavan    with   worry,

“ Why is Hanuman coming here  ?

He is not one who shows his back in the battle.

You please   go there   urgently  ,

Oh  son of Brahma , we should not see   anything.”

Hearing this jambhavan  went  along ,

With the other monkey chiefs and asked lightly,

“Why did you  retreat from the battle,

What  is the reason, you go back there  itself.”

And at  that  time  Hanuman told him,

“I am not retreating because of fear,

There  some thing   happened  and,

I have  to tel it to the Lord of the universe.

You also please  come along   with me.”

And immediately Hanuman  went along with Jambhavan,

And after   saluting   Rama , told him,

About  the news of destroying of Sita.”

Rama fell  on the ground and swooned,

And Lakshmana   at that time  , took ,

His head and kept it on his lap,

And his feet was  kept in his lap by Hanuman,
 And seeing that  the entire monkeys  ,

Stood complexly numb  and Lakshmana,

Started  telling them   words of consolation,

And Vibheeshana   wondering in his mind ,

The reason for this unusual   sound   came there,

And  when he asked   Lakshmana  told him,

About   the news that   was told  by Hanuman.

Kayyina kotti chirichu Vibheeshanan,

“Ayyo , kuranganmar yentharinju Vibho,

Lokeswariyaya  deviye kolluvaan,

Vibheeshgana clapped his hand and laughed,

“Alas, Oh lord   what do these  monkeys know,

There  is no one in the   three  worlds,

Who can kill  the goddess  of the world.

Indrajit  is an expert  in magic and please hear,

Why he   did this now ?

He wanted to go to Nikumbila   and do,

Fire sacrifice there  without  being troubled by monkeys,

This trick  of his to go to Nikumbila is indeed wonderful,
We have to go there  and stop this fire sacrifice,

Otherwise  nobody  can kill him.”

“Oh Rama  , Oh God, victory, victory,

Oh treasure of mercy , get up after  leaving out all  sorrow,

Me  , Lakshmana    and the monkey clan chiefs  ,

Would   go together  ,  without wasting any time  ,

Please   give us permission to go”  said  Vibheeshana,

And hearing that   and   getting out of the  sorrow,

That king   gave  all of them permission to go  ,

And  That Rama understanding the real   facts  ,

Became very     happy   and blessed,

His brother  ,  the brother of the king of Rakshasas,

 As well   as    all the monkeys   and  asked them,

To go and kill   the son of the ten headed one  and return.

The grandson of Indra  , kesari and Thara ,

In the front   Vibheeshana walked  ,

And they   went to Nikumbila    and filled it,

And when they completely surrounded   the Rakshasas,

Indrajith stooped for a moment and started the Homa  again,

And the monkeys carrying    stones, trees and mountains  ,

And neared    that place   and the Rakshasa  soldiers,

Started falling one by one  and ,

Understanding that   he cannot complete   the Homa,

And thinking  that   it can be started  again afterwards,

Indrajit  took   the bow   and arrows   and started  the war.

Mumbil  vegam poondu adutha   Marutha-,

Then the     son of the ten faced   one

After  coming  on the platform at Nikumbila ,

Stopped   the son of wind God  ,

Who speedily came   near   to him,

And Vibheeshana saw Lakshmana ,

And told him  after   removing his worry,

“Hey valorous one  , if he has not completed the Homa,

He    cannot certainly be able   to be seen in light,

Did you not see  him come  in person,

After   getting angry   on the son of wind god?

It indicates   that the time  of his death is near  ,

And so start the war , without delay.”

At the time    that   was specified  by  Vibheeshana,

Lakshmana also sent arrows    and other weapons,

And Indrajit stopped    them by proper arrows and weapons,

And   he also   sent  very powerful   arrows,

At that time Lakshmana    was lifted ,

On to his shoulder    by Hanuman with love  ,

And seeing Vibheeshana who was near  Lakshmana  ,

The son of   the ten faced one  told immediately.

“Rakshasa jathiyil  vannu piranna nee ,

“You were born in the   caste of Rakshasas,

And unfortunately you  are   the brother  of my father,

When we think about   your working like a servant  ,

To our enemies  for the sake  of destroying,

Our friends   and   sons and their   families,

Wecan only tell “good”, Good”  and nothing else ,

To those   who  lead to the destruction of their own clan,

There is definitely no salvation   as far as  we know and see,

For the travel to the higher   worlds   is made possible 

Due to our children say the learned   ones ,

You who  are a great thinker   are  working,

For destruction   of your own clan,  great surprise.”

Yennathu kettu  Vibheeshanan chollinaan,

“ Nannu  neeyum  nin pithavum ariga nee,

SAmsayamilla  vicharikka manase  ,

Vamsathe   rakshichu  koluvan innu  ,

Jnan   amsumali  kula nayakanugrahaal.”

Hearing that   Vibheeshana    told  ,

“Good, you and your father   should know   ,

That   the clan is being  destroyed by you both  .

There is no doubt about it  in  my mind,

I  would be able    to protect   our clan,

Due   to the blessing of   Lord   Rama.”

Kandu kolga    aallaigil innu    jnan nin udal,

KOndu   janthukkalkku bhakshanam aakuvaan.”

When they were   talking like this,

Lakshmana went on spraying  arrows non stop,

And he     cut of all those   by sending suitable arrows,

And he then told   Lakshmana    as follows,

“Lad   , have you not   seen the power

Of my hand on two days  , specially ?

Know about that   or otherwise  today ,

I will  make you food suitable for beasts.”

After saying this    with seven arrows  ,

He wounded   the body of Lakshmana,

And with  ten arrows   he wounded   Hanuman,

And with one hundred arrows he wounded  Vibheeshana,

And the monkey warrior   was greatly wounded and retreated ,

And Lakshmana immediately   started   sending   ,

Arrows    on    the   enemy   of  Indra,

And that    Indrajit  with one thousand   arrows,

Broke   in to pieces   the armour  of Lakshmana.

The body of Rakshasa   and son of Sumithra,

 Was completely   drenched    in blood,

And then he sent   another   five  arrows,

Powdered his chariot  , killed   his horses ,

Cut of the head of his charioteer ,

And also cut off his    very great   bow.

Mathoru   chapam yeduthu   kulachavan,

He  made   another    bow ready  ,

And sprayed   endless  number of arrows,

But he sent   three  arrows   and cut of his bow,

And  that  king, the  son of the ten necked one  ,

Took another   very big bow    and made it ready,

 Went on sending several   arrows ,

That son of Ravana  immediately went

Inside  Lanka and came   very speedily  out,

And nobody knew about his going or returning  ,

And sage Narada     appreciated   that.

Itham palarum   prasamsichu   nilpathin ,

madhye  divasa  thrayam    kazhinju   brusam.

Watching the very ferocious    war  in between them,

Brahma and other devas    said,

“Till now     a  war like this has never happened,

And a war will like this   will not happen again,

See, are there   valorous   men ,

Like   these   in this world like these two,”

Like this many people   were praising ,

And in between  three  days passed speedily.

Vasaram moonu  kazhinjoranantharam   ,

After   the   expiry     of three  days,

Lakshmana    took  the  Indrasthra,

And gently  tied it   with his hand  ,

And meditated on Rama   in his mind  ,

And   after some  thought    sent  that  arrow,

And that went  and cut off the neck of  Indrajit,

Went and    dipped itself in sea    and after  becoming clean,

And    that arrow  went   in to    his   quiver .

The body of Indrajit fell on the ground,

And the sorrow  came  to an end   for all the three  worlds,

And the devas  became    extremely   happy ,

And  started   praying   Lakshmana.

Pushpangalum   varshichaar  udan,

They showered    flowers   and then,

Apsara  ladies     started  dancing ,

And the thousand eyes of Indra   became bright  ,

And that  Indra became    greatly  happy,

The saints and devas  started  praising   ,

Him after   their problems   came to an end ,

And sound of Dhundhubi drums     rose   up,

And Lord Brahma   also  became very happy.

SAnkha viheenam   cheru jnan oli yittu  ,

Puthra   sokathalini   Dasagreevanum.”

Without any doubt  he gave a small twang using his bow,

Blew the conch and    roared   like a lion,

And Lakshmana along with   the monkeys speedily,

Went   and saluted   the king of man’s   lotus like feet,

Rama hugged   him tightly  ,

And with great joy   smelled his head ,

And laughingly    told   Lakshmana,

“The job done by you is extremely difficult  ,

Know that  Ravana   is also dead  ,

Because   Indrajit   has   died,

And that   ten faced one   would  come ,

For war with us now due  to great anger.”

When they were  talking to each other  like this,

Ravana heard  about the death   of his son,

He fell   on the ground    and swooned ,

And being greatly tired he started   wailing,

“ Ha, Ha, lad , son of Mandodhari,

Ha, Ha  , pretty one , hero  , handsome one,

What shall  I tell about the ills of my Karma,

When shall  I forget this sorrow from my mind,

The devas,   Brahmins    and sages ,

Would sleep extremely well today  ,

And no one   will  be afraid of us ,

And oh god, my life   has become extremely useless.”

Recounting the good qualities   of his great son,

And   when his sorrow became great  ,he started   crying,

“The reason  for the death of my son is   Sita.

And because   of that   my sorrow will never  end,

Unless   I kill her    and drink her    blood “

Saying this with open sword  , laughing , shouting  ,

And with very great anger   he  went   there.

Seeing the    very   bad    Ravana, Sita,

Became extremely scared  and  with a shaking body,

Went on chanting Rama,   Rama , Rama,

And   while she was  in the stage of waiting,

Suparswa* who was intelligent, diplomat ,

Very good  , a   good Rakshasa , one of good conduct,

Stopped  Ravana   and   said to him,

All the just things that   can be told.

You  are  one  born   in the Brahmin caste  ,

Who is agreed as pure by all the three  worlds,

And even Lord Subramanya and   Adisesha,

Would not be   able to describe   your good qualities,

You are  one   of the chief    devotees  of Shiva,

Who is the   god of gods   and enemy of Tripura,

Your brother  Khubera   who is from Paulasthya clan,

Is one  saluted  by the three worlds ,

And is the chief   of blessed  people

You are an expert in Sama veda  ,

And one    who is the temple of all knowledge  ,

You are  one who is  as great as  sage Vama deva  ,

You have   won the control over  your senses,

You are  one learning Vedas, observing bath and penance,

You are   wise , disciple of sage Shukra   and one with humility.

When it is like this  , what you  told,

Today after   the war is good , very good,

But your attempting    to kill a lady  ,

Is something which will increase your bad fame,

Oh great   king of the Rakshasas,  Oh lord,

Please   come along    with me  for the war ,

After  killing all   the monkeys   and  men,

By doing a war with great respect ,

Please    do   take Sita to yourself,

And   remove all the pain in the mind.

Hearing the words   of the just Suparswa,

The king of Rakshasas  became contended  ,

And went and sat in the  main chamber of meeting,

And  after   discussing    with his ministers,

Started   for the war  with great  enthusiasm ,

Along with     the   remaining   Rakshasas.

The   powerful army   of Rakshasas went  ,

And fought with Rama    and he killed   all of them,

And then Ravana  fought    with that king,

He   fought without  interval  and without fear  ,

And then Rama shooting arrows after   arrows,

Made    the body of Ravana into pieces ,

And then being wounded   , tired and disoriented,

Leaving out his courage   the ten faced one retreated,

Thinking that   this war  is sufficient ,

He went back to the city of Lanka as   a coward.

Ravana  went    and saluted    sage Shukra   ,

And with very dried up   face   told,

“The monkeys lead by the son of Sun God,

And Rama   belonging to the clan of the Sun,

Have come together , crossed the ocean,

Reached    the city of Lanka  and killed ,

All Rakshasas  who are enemies of Indra  ,

And today   I have become all   alone,

Completely filled by sorrow in my mind,

Oh good teacher  , Oh lord, am I not your disciple.

To the very intelligent     Ravana  ,

The great sage Shukra    who was thus requested,

Advised  “if so you  have to please the devas ,

You construct   a cave   with great speed,

And sit   In a very secret place  and conduct a Homa,

For   getting your enemies    defeated ,

And if you do so, victory  would    come to  you.”

And once you get it even devas   cannot win over you.

Please  take the root chant    from me ,

And   without any doubt  please   conduct the  Homa,”

Then after  learning the root chant from the great sage Shukra,

That   Ravana  who  is the chief    of all Rakshasas,

Constructed    inside    his house   a cave  ,

Which was like the land of  snakes.

Divyamam   havya  gavyadhi   homaya ,

SAdravyangal sampadhichu  kondavan,

Lanka pura dwaramokke   bandhichathil,

Sanka viheenam akam pukku  shuddhanai  ,

Dhyanam urappichu  thalphalam prarthichu,

Mounavum deekshichu  Homam thudanginan.

For the sacred   Homa using ghee, incense   and other materials,

He arranged    all the needed materials    to be collected,

After shutting all doors leading to  the town,

Without any doubt went inside , became purified  ,

With great   concentration prayed    for all that is good,

And observing penance of Silence started  the Homa,

Vyoma margatholam  uthitham mayoru  ,

Homadhomam   kandu Ravana sodharan,

Ramachandrannu katti kodutheedinaan,

“Homam thudangi  Dasanana mannava,

Homam kazhinju koodigil yennume ,

Nam avanodu thothidum maha rane  ,

Homam mudakkuvan  ayacheeduga  ,

Samodhamasu kapi veerare.”

 Seeing the    smoke of Homa   rising from,

The sky,   the brother of Ravana    Showed,

It to Ramachandra    and told  ,

“Oh king Ravana has started   the Homa,

If the Homa    is completed     then   always,

We would get defeated   by him in great    war.

So sent with preparation   monkey warriors,

To put  a stop   to that  Homa.”

Sri rama Sugreeva sasanam kai kondu ,

Marutha  puthra angadhadhikal okkave  ,

Noori kodi padayodum  Maha mathil,

Yeri   kadannangu Ravana mandiram,

Varana vaji  rathangaleyum podichu,

AAranju  thathra dasasya homa sthalam,

Vyajaal  sarama nija kara   samjnayaa,

Soochichithu   Dasa  greeva homa   sthalam.

Under the orders   of Sugreeva     and Rama,

Hanuman , Angadha    and other leaders,

 Along with an army of one hundred crore  ,

Crossed  the great wall, and reached the house  of Ravana,

And then killed all the security staff  of the town,

And all the monkey warriors together  without confusion,

Powdered  the elephant horses     and  chariots,

And searched for the place of Homa    of the ten faced one,

And Sarama the wife of Vibheeshana  by  signs ,

Indicated   the place  of Homa of the    ten headed  one.

Homa guha dwara   bandhana pashana  ,

Mamayaheenam    podipeduthu Angadhan,

Thathra   guhayil akam   pukka nearthu,

Nakthancharendrane  kanayithanthike ,

AApunya janadhipane    kandu vanarar  ,

Thadichu thadichu   bruthya janangale  ,

Peedichu   kolgayum    sambhara   sanchayam,

Kundathil  okke orikkale   homichu ,

Khandichithu  laghu mekhala jalavum.

Without any effort   Angadha   broke ,

The   big stone used to close   the cave,

And when he went inside   the cave  ,

He saw there   the king   of Rakshasas,

And all others    as per   the orders  of Angadha,

 They descended   inside the cave   and the monkeys,

Saw   Ravana    who was  meditating with closed eyes,

They hit him , attacked   all his servants  ,

And threw the collection of Homa   materials  ,

Together   in the fire  and cut  off ,

The cave in the mountain  range.

Ravanan kaiyil irunna maha sravam,

Dhyanathinnu   yethum ilakkam undayeela,

Manase    ravananum   jayakamkshayaa ,

Mandodhariye   pidichu valichu  ,

Than mandanam yellam   nurukki yittedinnan.

Hanuman  snatched   the great spoon,

From the hands    of Ravana  ,

And speedily    hit him with that  .

As a  sport that  powerful   monkey lord,

Using his nails    and teeth  ,

Went  on creating wounds all over  Ravana’s body,

And there  was no  change   in his deep meditation,

As that Ravana had   victory as aim in his mind.

Then he caught hold of Mandodhari dragged  her there,

 And   broke all her   ornaments   and make up.

Vithrastha neeviyai kanchuka   heenayai,

Vithrastha yai   vilapam thudangeedinaal ,

“Vanaranmarude thallu kondeeduduvaan ,

Ninnude mumbil ittasu   kapivarar,

Yenna thalamudi  chuthi pidipettu ,

Paril izhakkunnathum  kandiruppathu  ,

Poreparibhavam orkkil  Jalapathe,”

With  her hair untied  , without dress  to cover her breasts,

She became very fear stuck and started   wailing,

“Oh God, what bad acts    did I do,

To be beaten by these   monkeys?

Oh king of Rakshasas  don’t you  have any shame?

No one else   has as much self respect as you.

In front of you   these  monkeys   ,

Are holding my hair   and   ,

Dragging me    all   over   the floor,

Oh idiot   , is this   not sufficient for you to see.”

Yenthinai kondu   nin dhyanavu homavum,

Anthargatham  ini yenthonnu   durmathe  ,

Jeevithasaa  they baliyasi manase  ,

Ha , vidhi vaibhavam   yethrayum adbutham,

Mruthyu  bhhavikkunnathu    athyuthamam yevannum,

Nanavum  pathniyum vendila    ivannu ,

Than   prana bhayam kondu , moodan mahakhalan.”

What  is the need for   your meditation and Homa,

What  are    your thoughts   oh   blockhead,

The love for life is perhaps uppermost in your mind,

Ha , this play    of fate    is greatly surprising,

Is not the wife  , half of a person in this world,

To any one death is more preferable   than,

Seeing her   being caught   hold of by your enemies,

 And her    being troubled by them endlessly,

You do not need a wife    as well as shame,

Because of the fear   for life of this fool and greatly  wicked person.

Bharya   vialapangal  kettu Dasanananan,

Dhairyam akannu   valumai sathwaram,

Angdhan  thannodu adthan  athu kandu,

Thunga sareerikalaya    kapikalum,

Rathrinjeswara   pathniyeyum  ,

Ayacharthu   vilichu  purathu ponnedinaar,

Homam asesham   mudakki vayam yennu  ,

Ramanthike    chennu  kai thouzhutheedinaar.

Hearing   the wailing   of his wife  ,

Bereft of his   courage  , along with the sword.

Went near    Angadha   and those  monkeys,

Being    of a very tall body  ,

Leaving   out the wife of that   Rakshasa,

And shouting loudly   all of them came   out  ,

And   went near   Rama  and saluted him  ,

And told , “We have completely stopped the Homa,”

Mandodhariyodu  anusarichu anneram,

Pandithanaya   dasasyanum   chollinaan,

“Nadhe,  darikka  deivadheenam okkeyum,

Jathanayal  marikkunnathin munname  ,

Kalpichathellam  anubhavicheedanam,

Ippol   anubhavam itharam mamakam,

Jnanam asrithya   sokam kalanjidu nee  ,

Jnana vinasanam   sokam ariga nee ,

Ajnana sambhavam   sokamakunnathum,

Ajnanna   jatham   ahangaram aayathum.”

Softly    the very learned    ten faced one,

At   that   time told his wife Mandodhari,

“Darling  , Understand that  everything is the wish of God,

To anyone who is born  , before he dies,

All that has been fated   should be experienced.

For us the present time is like this,

Depending on wisdom  , leave out this sorrow,

Understand that  destruction of wisdom is sorrow,
And   the experience  of ignorance   also is sorrow,

And also that  pride   is the product  of ignorance.”

Naswaramaya   sareeradhikalile  ,

Viswasavum   punar   Ajnana sambhavam,

DEha moolam  puthra dharadhi bandhavum,

DEhikku   samsaravum   athu   karanam,

Raga   harshadhi  jara   mruthyu  janmangal,

Ajnanangal  akhila janthukkalkku,

Ajnaam  yellam akale   kalaga   nee,.”

The belief   in the purely temporary body  ,

Is again     a   happening  out  of ignorance, as also

The relation  with son and    wife  is  through the body,

As  the   domestic life to the being is   through that.

Sorrow, fear  , anger  , avarice  , attachment , longing,

Sensations   , happiness , old age   , death   and  birth,

Are  all ignorance   to all the beings,

And  so throw out this ignorance   far- far   away.

Jnana  swaroopan , atma, paran  , adhvayan,

Bhavanayodum yennal gathiyum varum.

The soul has the    form of pure wisdom,

Is divine , cannot be divided , is full of joy  ,

Is one that cannot be moulded and  ,

It does not  have separation from anything.

Seeing the soul like this   and after  understanding it,

Remove    the  sorrow from the soul , my wife.

I will  now come after   killing  of  Rama,

Lakshmana    and the monkeys ,

Otherwise without any   doubt , I will get,

Salvation    by the   piercing of the arrow  of Rama.

If Rama kills me ,  kill Sita   immediately  ,

And along with me   fall in the fire  ,

With great faith  , and if so  you will get salvation.

Vygrichathu   kettu Mandodhariyum  ,

SAkshaal   Pradhana  Purushothamanaya  ,

Mokshaal    Narayanan     Ramanayathum.

Hearing his worries  Mandodhari,

At that time told    the ten necked one,

“Nobody can win over   Sri Rama,

In all  the three worlds, understand this,

He is the very real   Purushothama ,

The  Narayana who gives salvation ,

Who has    taken the    form of Rama.”

DEvan makaravatharam anushtichu,

Pruthwipathiyaya   Raman ivan thanne.

The god    took the incarnation   of a fish,

And saved   the   Vaivaswatha   Manu,

And The lotus eyed one    once    took the form,

Of a tortoise  with  one lakh yojanas    broad,

And during the time of churning of milk ocean,

Lifted     the horrible  Mandara   mountain on his back,

And Becoming a boar , he    killed   Hiranyaksha  ,

And lifted    the earth    on his horns  ,

And   tore the chest of  horrible Hiranya kaipu by his nails  ,

And he  begged   for   three feet of ground from Mahabali  ,

And later   measured   the  three worlds by three   feet,

And    for killing in war   the  asuras  born as Kshatriyas,

Took birth as the son of    Jamadagni  and wore  the name of Rama ,

And He  Is this   same      Rama himself.

Vaidehiye kodutheeduga    Ramanu,

Namini kananam   vazhga  thapassinai.”

Rama was born in the clan of the sun ,

As   the   son of  Dasaratha,

And married    the daughter  of earth,

For killing you in the   form of a man,

He has been born in earth, please   understand,

For causing the destruction  of your sons,

And for     causing your own death  ,

You went and stole his    wife , unnecessarily  ,

And so you are a  shame  , you fool , idiotic lord,

Go and give back Sita    to Rama,

And give    your kingdom to your brother,

Rama    is very greatly  merciful and would  let us

Both   go to forest for  doing penance.

Bhavicha vannam  bhavikkayilla   onnume ,

Raghavan thannodu yethirthu  Yudham cheythu  ,

Vaikunta   rajyam anubhavicheeduvaan.

Hearing the words   of Mandodhari  ,

The very valorous    Ravana    that time   told,

“Having brought death    to sons  , friends ,

Ministers   and friends , if I go to forest alone  ,

It   is not proper   to live like that ,

Nothing will happen as    we think,

And I will fight  the  war   with Rama  ,

And would enjoy the    stay in Vaikunta.
