With that blow, he was devastated. His eyes became dizzy. Sparks of fire came to his
eyes. His head became dizzy. By just one blow of Hanumaanji, he saw stars in daylight.
And he lasted for just one day in the battlefield.
Come the evening, all monkeys began to praise Mahaavir. And when the moinkeys
shouted ―Glory to Balvir Bajarang‖, Mahaavirji would roar ―Say glory to Siyaavar
Raamchandra‖
[ 16 ]
The clashing sounds of the weapons, the roars of the monkeys, and by the screams of the
demons the whole of Lankaa‘s battlefield was filled. As if the end of the existence had
turned all topsy turvy was the scene portrayed. Following the death of Kumbhkaran,
Meghnaad returned to battle again. The warrior Laxmanji saluting at the feet of Sri Raam
said: ―Brother, permit me to go and fight Meghnaad in the battlefield.‖
―Dear brother! Meghnaad may seem small in body but do not consider him to be small.
In strength, magic and weaponry he is very proficient. None is equal to him in the whole
of Lankaa. Be very careful how you fight with him.‖
Battle ensued between Maghnaad and Laxmanji. For the whoile day there were
exchanges of arrows from both. The demon tried to confound Sri Laxmanji, but his
magic was defeated in front of Laxmanji. The saving of Meghnaad‘s life became very
difficult against the sharp arrows of Laxmanji. By the the arrows of Laxmanji, many
demons had fallen fainted on the battlefield. Only Meghnaad had resisted and remained
fighting.
But when Meghnaad realised it was getting difficult to save his life, then he lifted the
invincible Bhrahm-shakti which he had obtained previously from torturous penance to
Bhrahmaa. And consecrating it with water sanctified with mantras, he hurled it at
Laxmanji. Passing through Laxmanji‘s heart it returned back again to the hands of
Meghnaad.
Commotion spread everywhere. Laxmanji fainted and fell to the ground.
Meghnaad was considering taking Laxmanji to Lankaa. But little did he know this was no
ordinary human. He was incarnation of Shesh-naaraayan who had the whole cosmos held
on his head. He had fainted to preserve the divine protocol, but his effect was no less.
Meghnaad tried all his might to lift Laxmanji, but he could not move the body.
On the other hand, Mahaavirji was carrying out battle with demons when he received
news of fainting of Laxmanji. He immediately leaped and arrived by Laxmanji and
observing the calamity becamy very angry.
Lifting a big mountain, he threw it at Meghnaad. But Meghnaad knew already the
strategy of Mahaavir, so stepped aside from his chariot. By the impact of the mountain,
the chariot with ites horses and driver were al sauashed.
Meghnaad stood laughing. Mahaavirji could not bear this laughter of the wicked. So
running quickly, he landed his fist on the heart of Meghnaad. And Meghnaad fell fainted
on ground. Another charioteer taking him, delivered him to Lankaa.
The dusk had just arrived, the battle stopped and the freat warriors from both sides went
to get rest. The monkey army went to the Lord. But Laxmanji did not arrive. Bhagwaan
Raam just asked the monkeys, but they had all been involved in the battle on the other
side, and they hjad neither rfeceived any news of Laxmanji.
