›R∫ RÅMACARITAMÅNASA *
Beguiling your mind with flattering words, O fool, do not bring your race to utter
ruin. By courting enmity with ›r∂ Råma you will not be spared even though you seek the
protection of Viƒu, Brahmå or ›iva. Therefore, abandoning pride, like your younger
brother, either seek the lotus feet of the Lord as a bee or be consumed with your family
like a moth into the fire of ›r∂ Råmaís shafts, O wretch. (56 A-B)

Råvaƒa was dismayed at heart as he listened to the above message but wore a
feigned smile on his face and spoke aloud for all to hear: ìThe younger hermitís grand
eloquence is just like attempt of a man lying on the ground to clutch with hands the vault
of heaven.î Said ›uka, ìMy lord, giving up haughtiness take every word of it as true.
Abandon passion and give ear to my advice: my lord, avoid a clash with ›r∂ Råma. The
Hero of Raghuís line is exceedingly mild of disposition, even though He is the lord of the
entire universe. The Lord will shower His grace on you the moment you meet Him, and
will not take to heart even a single offence of yours. Pray, restore Janakaís Daughter to
›r∂ Råma; at least concede this request of mine.î When ›uka asked him to surrender
