now, my son, you have proved yourself to be a prickly plant at the root of a bamboo
(which brings about the destruction of the bamboo).î On hearing the harsh and most
malignant remarks of his father Prahasta left for home uttering these bitter words: ìWords

his palace fondly gazing on his twenty arms. On the highest level of La∆kå stood a most
wonderful hall, where music and dancing contests used to be held. Råvaƒa went and
took his seat in that hall, while Kinnaras (celestial songsters) began to sing his praises.
Expert celestial nymphs commenced their dance to the accompaniment of cymbals,
tabors and lutes. (1ó5)

fear. (10)

At this end the Hero of Raghuís line encamped with his vast army on Mount
Suvela. Observing a very lofty, supremely lovely, even and remarkably shining peak,
Lakmaƒa carefully spread on it whith his own hands beautiful young leaves and
blossoms of trees, which he covered with a charming and soft deerskin; it was on this
seat that the gracious Lord rested Himself. The Lord placed His head in the lap of
Sugr∂va (the lord of the monkeys) with the bow and quiver to His left and right. He was
passing both His lotus hands on an arrow, while the would-be king of La∆kå (Vibh∂aƒa)
