Even as they beheld the Lord the invading warriors could not discharge their
arrows; the whole demon host became powerless. Khara and Dµuaƒa summoned their
ministers and said, ì This prince, whoever he may be, is an ornament of the human
race. Of all the Någas, demons, gods, human beings and sages that exist (in this
universe) we have seen, vanquished or slain many. But during our whole life, listen
to us, our brethren all, we have never beheld such beauty. Even though he has
disfigured our sister, he does not deserve death, peerless as he is among men.
ëSurrender to us at once the woman you have put in hiding somewhere and return
home with your life, both you and your brother.í Deliver this message of mine to him
and return immediately with his reply.î The heralds went to ›r∂ Råma and delivered
the message to Him, in reply to which ›r∂ Råma smilingly said, ìWe are Katriyas
by birth and are given to hunting in the woods; wretches like you are the game that
we are tracking. We are never dismayed at the sight of a mighty foe and would give
battle to Death himself if he ever appeared before us. Though human beings, we are
the exterminators of the race of demons and, though youthful in appearance, we are
the protectors of the hermits and the torment of the wicked. If you have no strength
to fight, you had better return home; I will never kill an enemy who has turned his
back upon the field of battle. When you have come up to fight, it would be the height
of weakness to play wily pranks or to show compassion to your enemy.î The heralds
returned forthwith and repeated all that they had been told. The heart of Khara and
Dµuaƒa was on fire when they heard it. (1ó7)
