Mandodary was in dismay thus spoke to Ravana

 Jai Sri Ram,

Mandodary was in dismay since her rings fell to the ground in mysticism with her eyes filled with tears she spoke thus to Ravana, O Lord of My Life, listen to my prayer, 

My beloved cease hostility with Sri Rama and have more obstinacy in your heart taking him to be a mere mortal, Believe my words That Sri Rama himself is manifested in the form of this universe, and the Vedas conceive of every limb of his a a distinct sphere, 

Subterraining regions are his feet and the abode of Brahma is his head while other spheres are located in his other limbs, terrible death is a mere contraction of his eyebrows, the sun is his eyes and the mass of cloud is his locks, twin born god Ashwani Kumar are his nostrils, alternating days and nights constitute the repeated twinkling of his eyelids, while the quarter of the heavens are his ears, so declared by the Vedas, the wind are his breath and the Vedas, his own speech is the lower lip and Yama the death god is his dreadful teeth, Maya that cosmic illusion is his laughter and regents of the ten quarters, his arms, fire is his mouth and Varun the water is his tongue, while creation, preservation, and destruction of the universe is his gesture, the eighteen principle species of the vegetable kingdom constitute the line of hair on his belly, the mountains are his bones and the rivers represents the network of his veins, the ocean is his belly and the inferno, his organs of urination and excreation, in short, the universe is manifestation of the lord and it is no use going into further details, 

Lord Shiva is his ego, Brahman his reason, the moon his mind, and great Vishnu is his faculty of understanding, is the same Lord Sri Rama, manifested in the form of animate and inanimate creation, who has assumed a human semblance, pondering this, hear me, O my lord of life, cease hostility with Lord Rama, and cultivate devotion to his feet so that my good luck may not desert me,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

anxiety lodged in the heart

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Rama smiled to hear the words of Hanuman, then looked towards the south, spoke thus, Vibhishan, see how clouds are gathering fast and lighting flashes in that corner,

Vibhishan replied in soft ascent, my lord, it is neither lightning nor clouds, it is on the top square of Lanka the place where Ravana enjoys music and dance, the Royal umbrella creating illusion in varying forms,,

Sri Rama smiled to listen so, strung his bow and fitted an arrow to the sting, with one shaft alone striking Ravana's umbrella as well as earrings of Mandodary making them fall to the ground before the very eye of all, having performed this starling fear Rama's shaft came back and dropped in his quiver again, 

Everybody was alarmed to see this interruption in his revelry, no earthquake nor strong gust of wind nor did any weapon play any role, was an almost alarming ill omen, fright took place in hearing of all was a distinct strange for Ravana, and anxiety lodged in the heart of Mandodary, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Moon is your own beloved servant

 Jai Sri Ram,

Ravana finds that it is evening and now turns toward the special location of his Palace with a wonder hall to host the most beautiful dancers to charm him, 

Though a most powerful threatening foe at his doorstep he had no anxiety or fear, there Rama encamped on the mount Suvela. a holy peak lofty and supremely lovely, Laxman made all respective arrangements for the Lotd to rest upon, gracious lord rested himself and placed his head on the laps of Sugreeva with his bow and quiver by his side,

Angad and Hanuman kneaded his lotus feet in diverse ways, in the easter quarter, the lion of a moon, an embodiment of supreme grandeur, glory, and strength strutted through the forest of the sky having rent asunder the crown of a mad elephant in the form of the darkness, stars appears like pearls, strew all over the sky, 

Rama thereby asked his fellows what they thought about the spot on the moon, few said demon Rahau struck the moon, and few said the spot is nothing but a scar left on the bosom while created by Brahma, Lord himself said that I thought poison is the most beloved brother of the moon and has given a place in his heart is the shadow from, Said Hanuman, My lord, Moon is your own beloved servant and it is your Image enshrined in his heart that appears as the dark patch,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

Sri Basant Panchami

 

Prahasta

 Jai Sri Ram,

Ravana revisited the assembly with counselors and again raised the issue, of his son Prahasta raising his voice with joined palms, transgress not the bounds of propriety, my lord, your counselors possess very little will, 

All your stupid ministers tell you that which is pleasing to their master, but that way you cannot succeed, a stray monkey sprang across the ocean and came to this site, and all people still extolled is doing, What, did none of you having any appetite then, now claiming to feast with coming monkeys and bears, their advice will land you in trouble all the way, these people are simply bragging, 

Dear father listen to me, please do not account me, coward, if he withdraws on receiving back his consort you should have no more quarrel with him, otherwise, face to face meet him on the battlefield and give a tough fight,

If you accept my advice your fair renown will spread throughout the world in either case, that makes Ravana attain fury, Said Ravana who taught such wisdom to you, if have any doubt in your mind get lost, on hearing harsh words Prahasta return to home,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

haunted by idle fear

 Jai Sri Ram,

The bear and monkeys regale themselves on the delightful fruits and bulbs there and ran off in all directions to make it known of their presence around and kill many demons and the news reached Ravana,

The moment Ravana heard that the sea had been bridged exclaimed in contemplation at once, What he easily bridged the waves, the billows, the sea, the main, the deep, the brine, the hyaline,

Then realizing his own nervousness left for her palace, Manddary relates the same things differently, Lord has arrived to shower his grace on you, if, my beloved you accept my advice, your fair renown shall spread the three spheres, the disparity between you and Rama is huge, he disposed of Madhu and Keaitabha, finished Haranyakashyap, bounded Bali and killed Sahastrabhau, descended on earth for a cause to relieve it, you must not oppose him who is master of time, fate and the soul, Rama is compassionate and humble by nature, adore him all the way, 

So saying clasped him by feet with eyes full of tears, trembling in every limb she added, worship Sri Rama, so that my union with you may last till eternity, thereupon Ravana lifted Maya's Danava's Daughter and tried to pacify her, said listen, darling, you are haunted by idle fear, what warrior in this world is my equal, 

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please 

crossed the ocean and reached

 Jai Sri Ram,

Having completed the bridge they made it completely secure.

The all-merciful was glad at heart to see it, as the army marched it was a sight beyond all telling, all creatures in the ocean felt strange come on the surface to see the army of Rama, covered by creatures water could not be seen, 

The bridge is overcrowded, and many fall into the ocean and use ocean creatures as their boat to reach that shore, many use the back of the sea monsters to cross the sea, 

Rama and his brother laughed at the sight of the scenario how the army heading to that shore, and they crossed the ocean and reached another shore,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
