dart. Lo! there was light all round and no trace of darkness left anywhere, even as doubts
disappear with the dawn of spiritual enlightenment. The bear and monkeys were relieved
of their fatigue and rid of all fear when they saw light again, and pressed on exultingly.
Hanumån and A∆gada thundered on the field of battle and the demons fled at their
menacing roar. But the bears and monkeys seized the demon warriors in their flight and
dashed them to the ground, performing marvellous feats of strength even as they did so,
or catching them by the leg, hurled them into the ocean, where alligators, serpents and
fish snapped them up and devoured them. (1ó4)

Some were killed, some more were wounded, while others scampered away and
clambered the fort. Having thus scattered the hostile forces, the bears and monkeys
gave a loud roar. (47)

Perceiving that it was now night, all the four divisions of the monkey host returned to
the camp of Kosalaís lord. The monkeys were all relieved of their fatigue the moment ›r∂
Råma cast His benign look on them. There (in La∆kå) the ten-headed monster sent for all
his ministers and told them about the warriors that had been killed in action. ìThe monkeys
have disposed of half our forces; tell me at once what counsel should be adopted.î ìThere
upon Målyavån, a very aged demon, who was Råvaƒaís maternal grandfather and an
eminent counsellor, spoke words of highly devout wisdom: ìListen, my son, to a few words
of advice from me. Ever since you carried off S∂tå and brought Her here, there have been illomens
more than one can tell. By opposing ›r∂ Råma, whose glory has been the theme of
the Vedas and Puråƒas, none has ever enjoyed happiness.î (1ó4)
