ìVibh∂aƒa, see how clouds are gathering fast and the lightning flashes in the
southern quarter. A lowering cloud is gently rumbling and I fear lest a severe hail-storm
may ensue.î Vibh∂aƒa replied, ìListen, my gracious lord: there is neither lightning nor a
gathered mass of cloud. On the top of La∆kå there stands a hall where Råvaƒa is
witnessing a music and dancing contest. It is the large royal umbrella spread over his
head which presents the appearance of a thick dark mass of cloud; the ornaments in
Queen Mandodar∂ís ears, my lord, flash like lightning; while the incomparable music of
cymbals and tabors is the sweet rumbling that You hear, O King of celestials.î The Lord
smiled to perceive Råvaƒaís arrogance; He strung His bow and fitted an arrow to the
string. (1ó4)

With a single shaft the Lord then struck Råvaƒaís umbrella and crowns as well as
Mandodar∂ís ear-drops, which fell to the ground before the very eyes of all; but none
could know the mystery. Having performed this startling feat ›r∂ Råmaís shaft came
back and dropped into His quiver again. And everybody in Råvaƒaís assembly was
alarmed to see this great interruption in his revelry. (13 A-B)
