Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

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.
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.
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.”
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,
