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. 130 | P a g e

Bhagwaan Raam became very concerned. Just that moment Hanumaanji arrive with Laxmanji on his shouler. The affectionate of the devotees seeing this state of his brother became even more confounded. Ters streamed down his eyes. Taking the head of Laxmanji in his lap, he began to say: ―My brother! Brother Laxman! Why are you not saying anything? You have never ever been displeased with me. What has happened to you today? My brother, say something. For my sake you endured residing in the forest. You kept awake at nights. Bringing fruit, edible roots and water you fed us. Even that act of duty I have now taken it from you. What has suddenly happened to you? O brave one! Laxman! You got saddened by seeing me sad. Seeing me happy your face would light up. You took over my pains. Seeing you like this today, do you know what is going through my mind? Brother ! Why do you not get up and console me? O brother! You never even by chance left me alone in the forest. What have you donje today? Leaving me alone in this fearful territory of the enemy, wher have you gone? What will happen to me? How will I live without you? When I have been pained in separation from Sitaaji, you reasoned with me and rid me of my suffering. And today in this terrible battle field seeing me seeing me so pined, do you not have any compassion for me? O my adorable brother! Mother Sumitra giving your hand in mine let us depart to the forest. How will I ever face that benevolent mother? Losing he affectionate son for the sake of the wife, how will this Raam showhis face in Ayodhyaa? O brother! I will not go to Ayodhyaa without you. The one with whom I left the border Ayodhyaa, how will I enter agsin that border without you? Be whatever comes, I will not go to Ayodhyaa. Laxman! O my lovely brother Laxman! In separation from you, I will twist and turn to reach my death. Be that this may bring the death of our brother Bharat and virtuous Sitaa in separation from me. Let Sugriv and Angad and others go back to their abodes. But brother! Laxman! What will happen to poor Vibhishan? On your say I held his hand. Will Vibhishan become helpless again? The one who has taken refuge in Raaghav, what will happen to Vibhishan? Wake up brother Laxman, wake up! You are my right hand. Without you my strength has vained. Just wake up and pook. The deities are crying seeing this state of you. Oh! There are celebrations in the court of Raavan. Just for once wake up and tell me what I need to do? Where do I need to go?‖ Bhagwaan Raam‘s sorrow was just increasing. In his sorrowful state, he cast his eyes around and saw Sugriv, Hanumaan, Vibhishan and Jaambvaan, Angad and others all crying. Through his human playact, the Lord‘s sorrow could not be endured by any of them. Wiping the tears from his eyes, Raghunaathji said: ―O Sugrivji! Mahaavirji! Do not cry.Today let this merciless Raam weep alone. Grace me with your compassion and bring me some dry wood. And let me cremate myself with my loving brother Laxman. You all go back to your normal abodes and stay there peacefully. You all have graced me me and endured many difficulties. Through even thousand re-births I will not be able to repay you for this. The psyche of the Angad, Sugriv and all the monkeys cannot be described fully by this lifeless pen. All were dazed. The dazed Hanumaanji shedding from his eyes was standing in a corner. Bhagwaan Raam‘s gaze settled on him. And with half croaked voice he said: 131 | P a g e
