sprang into the air; but they could not see him and returned sore disappointed. Meanwhile
by his delusive power Meghanåda had turned every rugged valley, path and mountain
cave into a veritable aviary of arrows. The monkeys were confounded and did not know
where to turn. They felt helpless like so many Mandaras thrown into prison as it were
by Indra. The son of the windgod, A∆gada, Nala, N∂la and all the other mighty heroes
were completely discomfited by him. Again he assailed with his shafts Lakmaƒa,
Sugr∂va, and Vibh∂aƒa and pierced their bodies through and through. Then he confronted
the Lord of the Raghus Himself; the arrows he let fly turned into serpents even as they
struck ›r∂ Råma. The Slayer of Khara, who is all-independent, infinite and immutable, the
one without a second, was overpowered by the serpentsí coils. Like an actor, He plays
many a part,óHe, the one, ever-free and omnipotent Lord. It was in order to invest the
battle with a glory of its own that the Lord allowed Himself to be bound by a snare of
serpents, even though the gods were dismayed at this sight. (1ó7)

Girijå, (continues Lord ›iva,) is it ever possible that the Lord, who is the allpervading
abode of the universe and whose name, when repeated enables the hermits
to cut asunder the bonds of existence, should fall in bondage? (73)
