Again and again did Råma address His namesake as a sage and as a great
Bråhmaƒa, till the chief of Bhægus exclaimed in his fury, ìYou are as perverse as your
younger brother!î (282)

ìYou know me to be a mere Bråhmaƒa; I tell you what kind of a Bråhmaƒa I am.
Know that the bow is my sacrificial ladle, the arrows my oblation and my wrath, the blazing
fire; the brilliant fourfold forces (consisting of the horse, the elephant, the chariots and footsoldiers)
are the fuel; and mighty princes have served as victims, whom I have cut to
pieces with this very axe and offered as sacrifice. In this way I have performed millions of
sacrifices in the shape of armed conflicts, accompanied by the muttering of sacred formulas
in the shape of war-cries. My glory is not known to you; that is why you address me in
contemptuous terms mistaking me for a mere Bråhmaƒa. Since you have broken the bow,
your arrogance has transgressed all limits; in your self-esteem you stand as if you have
conquered the whole world.î Said Råma, ìO sage, think before you speak; your anger is
out of all proportions with my error, which is a trifling one. Worn out as it was, the bow broke
at my mere touch. What reason have I to be proud?î (1ó4)
