Råvaƒa taught them sound wisdom; though vile himself, his counsel was so pious
and wholesome! Indeed there are hosts of people clever in instructing others; but those
who practise good morals themselves are few and far between. When the night was over
and the day broke, the bears and monkeys invested all the four gates. The ten-headed
monster summoned his champions and said, ìHe whose heart quails before the enemy
in battle had better withdraw even now; for if he turns his back on the field of battle, he
will have to suffer for it. Relying on the strength of my own arm have I prosecuted the
war and shall give befitting reply to the enemy who has invaded us.î So saying, he got
ready his chariot, swift as the wind, and all the musical instruments of war sounded. The
heroes, who were all matchless in strength, rushed forth like a storm of soot. Numberless
ill-omens occurred at that time; but, extremely proud of his might of arm, he heeded them
not. (1ó5)

In his overweening pride he took no heed of the omens, whether good or bad.
Weapons dropped from his hands and warriors fell down from their cars, while horses
and elephants ran shrieking out of the line. Frightful jackals, vultures and donkeys gave
a shrill cry while dogs whined in large numbers. And owls, like messengers of death,
uttered most alarming notes.

Can he ever expect prosperity and good omens and attain peace of mind even in
dream, who is actively malevolent to the living creation, is hostile to ›r∂ Råma and is
steeped in the enjoyment of the senses, all under a spell of delusion? (78)
