ìMake haste, brethren, to get ready the necessary equipment; on hearing my
command, let no one shrink in fear.î ìAll right, my lord,î they all joyfully responded, and
roused the spirit of one another. Greeting their chief one after another, the Niådas left;
they were all brave and loved to fight on the battlefield. Invoking the shoes of ›r∂ Råmaís

their weapons etc., and forming themselves into batches they all went up to their chief,
Guha, and greeted him. Seeing his gallant warriors and finding them all fit for active
service he addressed them, each by his name, and duly honoured them. (1ó4)

ìThrough the majesty of ›r∂ Råma and by your might, my lord, we shall leave no
fighting man or horse in the enemyís ranks. We shall never retrace our steps so long as
there is life in us; nay, we shall strew the earth with the trunks and heads of fallen
warriors!î The Niåda chief saw that he had a good band of warriors and exclaimed,
