With many such words did Trija¢å comfort S∂tå and then returned to her residence.
As She recalled ›r∂ Råmaís kind disposition Videhaís Daughter was overwhelmed with
the anguish of separation from Him. She reproached the night and the moon in many
ways. ìThe night has already assumed the length of an age and does not endî She
added. Disconsolate at Her separation from ›r∂ Råma, Janakaís Daughter grievously
lamented within Herself. When Her agony of separation grew acute, Her left eye and arm
throbbed. Considering it to be a good omen, She took heart and said to Herself, ìThe
gracious Hero of Raghuís line will surely meet me.î In his palace Råvaƒa recovered from
his swoon at midnight and cut up rough with his charioteer, ìFool, to have severed me
from the battlefield; shame, shame on you, O vile dullard!î The charioteer clasped his
feet and deprecated his anger in many ways. As soon as it was dawn Råvaƒa mounted
his car and sallied forth again. There was a great stir in the monkey host at the news
of Råvaƒaís return. Tearing up mountains and trees from wherever they could, mighty
warriors rushed forward gnashing their teeth. (1ó6)

The fierce monkeys and terrible bears darted with mountains in their hands, which
they hurled forth with the utmost fury. The demons, who were unable to resist the
onslaught, turned and fled. Having thus scattered the enemy ranks, the powerful
monkeys next closed around Råvaƒa and discomfited him by buffeting him on every side
and tearing his body with their claws.

Finding the monkeys most powerful, Råvaƒa took thought. Consequently he
became invisible and in a moment revealed his illusive power. (100)
