Meghnaad came awake from fainting. And in his anger, he mounted arrow of Bhrahmbaan.
Whereas Hanumaanji by the grace of the rishis was free from the effects of the
binding of Bhrahm, even so due to protocol of great personage, he deliberately gor his
hands bound.
Tied by the arrow impact, Meghnaad with number of demons brought Hanumaanji to
Raavan.
Hanumaanji thus destroyed Ashik garden. But to preserve the protocol of Bhraamstra
(weapon of Bhrahm), he came to be bound. But it can be sais this was his wish to see
Raavan‘s court before commencement of any battle.
[ 12 ]
Raavan had already received through his spies the news of Meghnaad‘s victory. So today,
Raavan had arrived early in the king‘s court. Shortly the proud Meghnaad brought the
bound Hanumaanji in the court. Immediately upon arriving into the court, all the bindings
on Hanumaanji came loose. Standing a short distance from Raavan, Meghnaad indicated
by the movement of his eyes to Hanumaanji to bow to Raavan.
But why should Hanumaanji bow to the evil Raavan? He stood fearless in front of
Raavan and observed the courtiers.
Like a great emperor of the cosmos, Raavan was sitting on the raised lion-throne. The
deities and tenders of the worlds stood with clasped hands to receive commands from
Raavan. The sun with dim luminosity lightened the court. The wind deity with a fan was
fanning cool air. The very strong, rude with pride demons were seated on their respective
thrones. Raavan had amassed all the assets of the worlds in his court. It was as if nature
had granted him her grace.
By this disrespect of Hanumaanji, what would have Raavan thought? But nevertheless,
seeing Hanumaanji, Raavan just laughed.
Just then he remembered the previous night‘s dream and the monkey which he had seen
in it. And the destroyer of his loved son Akshaykumaar was also this very monkey.
Remembering thus, he angrily said: ―What! Who are you? And on whose strength are
you creating all this commotion?‖
―Raavan!‖ said Hanumaanji with a very deep voice. ―In whose every pore and every
moment all the worlds commence and also dissolve, by whosevery energy Bhramaa,
Vishnu and Maheshvar carry out their allocated tasks, who by his own luminosity has
incarnated on this earth to destroy the many demons like you, don‘t you recognise that
Bhagwaan Raam?‖
Hearing the name of Sri Raam, Raavan trembled. Just then Hanumaanji‘s voice rang in
his ears, ―That Sri Raam who in Janakpursmashed your pride by breaking the bow, who
delivered for time to devour by each of his arrows Khar, Dushan, Tri-shiraa and Vaali,
that Raam whose effect you neglected and abducted his loved wife, like a thief, that Sri
Raaghav-indra‘s messenger I am.‖
With a superficial smile Raavan said: ―Whose messengers are monkeys like you, before
praising such humans you should remember to whom you are talking to.‖
―I am fully aware I am speaking to Raavan‖, Hanumaanji said. ―I am speaking to that
Raavan who went battle with Sahastra-Arjun, and also I am speaking to that Raavan who
in battle with Vaali was captivated in his armpit. Who would not remember such
Raavan?‖
