When Meghanåda recovered from his swoon, he felt much ashamed to find his
father before him. He speedily betook himself to a convenient mountain cave and
resolved to perform a sacrifice which would render him invincible. At this end Vibh∂aƒa
approached the Lord and told Him his considered view. ìListen, my lord of incomparable
might and generosity: the wicked Meghanåda, who is a past master in creating illusions
and the scourge of heaven, is performing an unholy sacrifice. If, my lord, the sacrifice
is allowed to be completed, he will not then be speedily conquered.î The Lord of the
Raghus was highly gratified to hear this and summoned A∆gada and many other
monkeys. ìGo with Lakmaƒa, brethren all, and wreck the sacrifice. And it is for you,
Lakmaƒa, to kill him in battle. I am much distressed to find the gods in terror. You must
finish him by force of your wit might or one way or other, mark me, brother, the demon
must be put an end to. And Jåmbavån, Sugr∂va and Vibh∂aƒa, you three must keep by
his side with your regiment.î When the Hero of Raghuís line had finished His command,
Lakmaƒa, who was staunch in battle, girt the quiver by his side and strung his bow; and
cherishing the Lordís glory in his heart, he spoke in a voice deep as thunder, ìIf I return
today without slaying him (Meghanåda), let me no longer be called a servant of ›r∂ Råma
