devotee and a diligent servant. Thinking thus he said to Bharatji: ―Do not worry. By your grace I will reach Lankaa like an arrow in time.‖ Bowing to Sage Vahishtha and Bharatji, hugging Shatrughnaji, Hanumaanji lifted Dronaachal and with chanting the glory to Raghunaathji he proceeded by the sky route. Half the night had passed in Lankaa. Bhagwaan Raam was continually looking skywards expecting Hanumaanji. All the monkeys were also eagerly awaiting Hanumaanji. When you are looking out for someone, every second seems like an eon. As the time passed by Raghunathji was getting impatient. Many doubts began to arise in his mind. Suddenly there was sound in the sky. He was just about to see skywards when the words ―Glory to Raghuvir!‖ hit his ears. The monkeys all also chanted the victorious words ―Glory to Raghuvir!‖ Placing the mountain to one side, Hanumaanji prostrated at the feet of the Lord. The Lord lifted him and hugged him to his heart. Sugriv, Jaambvaan, Angad and others all appropriately welcomed Hanumaanji. The monkey group surrounded Hanumaanji. All were thus extremely in joy. On the other side, Sushenji had commenced his task.Recognising and finding the herb, he began to treat Laxmanji. The effect of the herb was astonishing. In few moments Laxmanji‘s wounds were healed. And waking up , he immediately said: ―Where is the wicked demon Meghnaad?‖ And he began to search for his bow and arrow. The Lord came forward and hugged him. Initially seeing all this Laxmanji was surprised. Then he got to know he had fainted for long time, whereupon he took an oath to slay Meghnaad. And eventually, Laxmanji did slay Meghnaad in the battlefield. After his task was over, Sushenji bowed to the Lord and took leave. The Lord asked him for any boon. Sushen clasping both hands said: ―Lord! My task I have completed. In that I have not obliged anyone. But the real obligation you have to carry out. I am an eternal patient afflicted by this realm. And you are the proficient physician expert in eradicating this disease. So please grant me eternal devotion and faith in you. That herb of chanting name of Raam may always remain with me – I ask for that boon.‖ What he wanted, Sri Raam gave to him. And Mahaavirji lifted sushenji together with his house and reaching Lankaa placed it exactly as previous in it‘s location. Bhagwaan Raam praised Hanumaanji‘s work immensely. But he was not interested in hearing his praises. What use has the servant of his praise? [ 17 ] Victory of the Nether world Sri Raamchandraji had already slayed Raavan‘s strong soldiers. Brother like Kumbhkaran and sons like Indrajit-Meghnaad were also lost by Raavan. Towards the end Raavan‘s other son Naraantak was also sacrificed like oblation of milk in the battlefield. Finally there was none left who could protect Raavan, so himself eventually came into the battlefield. But on the first day, Raghunaathji‘s arrows hit him to faint. He was quickly put into his chariot and was taken by his charioteer to Lankaa. When Raavan awoke from his faint, he began to worry greatly. All his desires had now been reversed into failures. Which warrior was now now left to claim victory in the battle for him? 138 | P a g e

Eventually he remembered his friend in the nether world by the name of Ahi-raavan. But the whole of Lankaa was now surrounded by the monkeys. There was no means left to carry message outside Lankaa. So Raavan decided to call him by the power of his mantras. Raavan by nature was sinful. But he was fully blessed withknowledge of all the scriptures. Taking bath, he sat himself in the temple of Shankar. After performing the appropriate worship, he meditated on Ahi-raavan. Ruling in the Nether world, Ahi-raavan got message in his dream that his friend Raavan was calling him. Not just that, but that the amazing power of the mantra was pulling him towards Lankaa. Immediately by the sky route, he proceeded towards Lankaa. Reaching Lankaa, by the power of the mantras he presented himself in the temple of Shiva. Seeing his friend, Raavan hugged him. Raavan related all that had happened to Ahi-raavan. Giving the news of the deaths of the relations, Raavan said: ―Now I rely on your support to give me protection. To protect me, think out the means for me.‖ Ahi-raavan was well-studied and full of wizardry. He said: ―Brother! I have not seen those mendicants. I am not even aware of those monkeys. But those who have slayed great beings like Megh-naad, Indra-jit, Naraantak, they are no ordinary beings. So to gain victory over them, your desire is mis-placed.‖ Hearing Ahi-raavan‘s words, Raavan was saddened. Tears fell from his eyes. He could utter any words. Whereupon Ahi-raavan said: ―Nevertheless there is no reason to fear. If I can gain help from Shankar, then I have a means. Only the first part of the night has passed. I will secretly infiltrate the enemy camp. Abducting the sleeping two mendicants, I will take them by the sky route. Sleeping they will be without any arms. So tonight I will offer them as sacrifice to my ideal female deity.‖ Raavan was very pleased with this. He hugged Ahi-raavan. And with respect he said: ―Brother! Accomplish this task quickly. I will not delay you any longer.‖ Everyone was tired by the day‘s battle. Only Mahaavir Hanumaanji lay awake keeping watch. Elongating his tail, he surrounded the whole army with his tail like a fort. And at the door of this fort, Mahaavir stood guard. Apart from this one doorway, there was no other entrance. Seeing this powerful head of the monkeys, Ahi-raavan was frightened. Nevertheless, he still took aid of wizardry to gain access into the fort. Ahi-raavan took the form of Vibhishan and going straight to Pavankumar, he saluted him. Mahaavirjio asked: ―O Vibhishanji! Have not gone to sleep yet? Unlike other days, why are you roaming out today?‖ Ahi-raavan in the form Vibhishan answered: ―Mahaavirji! After the battle was finished for the day, I immediately went to Lankaa. The Lord had given me immediate task to accomplish. I now need to see the Lord right now.‖ Mahaavirji did not see it appropriate to question the task of the Lord. He lifted his tail slightly, and Ahi-raavan managed to enter the fort. Normally Laxmanji since dwelling in the forest never slept. Not only so, he would sit in the viraasan posture and sit beside Bhagwaan Raam. But after the injury caused by Indrajit‘s weapon, he required more rest. Also, to slay Indrajit he had to use excessive effort. So for the previous days, Bhagwaan Raam ordered him to sleep at night. So both the brothers were next to each other in deep sleep. 139 | P a g e
