›R∫ RÅMACARITAMÅNASA *
The doing of ›r∂ Råma when appearing in an embodied form, Bhavån∂, cannot be
logically interpreted by the power of reason or speech. Realizing this those who know
the truth about Him and are full of dispassion adore ›r∂ Råma, discarding all theological
speculation. Having thus thrown the monkey host into confusion, Ghananåda (a synonym
for Meghanåda) at last revealed himself and began to pour abuses. Jåmbavån said,
ìRemain standing a while, O wretch!î When he heard this, his anger knew no bound.
ìFool, I spared you only on account of your age. And yet you have had the audacity to
challenge me, O vile creature!îSo saying he hurled his glittering trident. Jåmbavån,
however, caught it in his hand and, darting forward, struck Meghanåda in the chest with
it so vehemently that the enemy of gods reeled and fell to the ground. Once again
Jåmbavån in his fury took Meghanåda by the foot and, swinging him round, dashed him
against the ground and thus showed him his strength. By virtue of the boon* (granted to
him by the Creator), however, he died not for all his killing. Thereupon Jåmbavån seized
him by the foot and tossed him into La∆kå. At this end the celestial sage Nårada
despatched GaruŒa, who took no time in reaching by the side of ›r∂ Råma. (1ó5)

The king of birds seized and devoured the whole swarm of snakes created by
Meghanådaís demoniac power. The charm was thus dispelled and all the divisions of the
monkey host rejoiced again. Armed with rocks, trees, stones, and claws, the monkeys
rushed forth in their fury; while the demons took to their heels in utter confusion and
climbed up the fort. (74 A-B)

(Yuddhak僌a VIII. 64ó67)
ìBrahmå (the Creator) has ordained the death of this wicked soul (Meghanåda) at the hands of one
who has neither slept nor taken any food for full twelve years. Given over to your service, Lakmaƒa, O Chief
of the Raghus, has known neither sleep nor food etc., ever since he came away from Ayodhyå: I have come
to know all this, O King of kings. Therefore, O Ruler of gods, command Lakmaƒa to accompany me with all
speed; for he is no other than ›ea, the supporter of the earth, and will doubtless slay this demon.
