worship the All-merciful, who has a most loving disposition.î His words stung Råvaƒa
like shafts. ìAway, wretch, with your accursed face. If it were not for your age, I would
have finished you; now please do not appear before my eyes again.î Målyavån,
however, thought within himself that the All-merciful would soon kill him; he, therefore,
rose and departed abusing Råvaƒa as he went. Meghanåda thereupon exclaimed in a
fury : ìSee what wonders I work the very next morning. I am going to accomplish much;
why should I, therefore, belittle its worth by speaking of it just now?î Confidence returned
to Råvaƒa when he heard his sonís words; and he fondly took him into his lap. The day
broke even while they deliberated, and the monkeys again assailed the four gates. In
their fury they laid siege to the most powerful citadel. This gave rise to an uproarious
alarm in the city. The demons darted forward with their weapons of every description and
hurled down mountain-peaks from the ramparts.î (1ó5)

The demons hurled mountain-peaks in myriads and fired bomb-shells of every
description, which came roaring like a crash of thunder; while the contending warriors
roared like the clouds on the day of universal destruction. Fierce monkey warriors
combated with their adversaries and had their bodies severely wounded and badly
battered; yet they languished not. Seizing rocks, they hurled them against the fort; and
the demons fell to them wherever they stood.

When Meghanåda heard that the monkeys had come and besieged the fort again,
the hero tore down the fort and sallied forth with beat of drum to meet the enemy face
to face. (49)
