So saying, the Lord of the Raghus bowed His head at the Bråhmaƒasí lotus feet
even as He urged forward His chariot. Thereupon Råvaƒa felt much enraged at heart
and darted to meet Him, challenging Him in a thundering voice: ìListen, hermit: I am not
like one of those warriors whom you have vanquished in battle. My name is Råvaƒa,
whose glory is known all the world over, and whose prison holds within its walls the
regents of the spheres! You slew Khara, Dµµuaƒa and Virådha and killed poor Våli even
as a hunter would shoot his game. Nay, you wiped out a host of demon champions and
killed even Kumbhakarƒa and Meghanåda. Today I will, wreak vengeance on you for all
this unless, O prince, you flee away from the battle. Today I will surely give you over
to death; for it is the relentless Råvaƒa whom you have to deal with.î Hearing his foul
talk the All-merciful took him as doomed to death and smilingly replied as follows: ìTrue,
true is all your greatness. But prate no more; show your valour if you can. (1ó5)

ìDo not ruin your reputation by bragging. Pray, excuse me and listen to a sound
maxim. There are three types of men in this worldóthose resembling the rose, the
mango and the bread-tree respectively. The one gives flowers alone, the second flowers
and fruit both and the third yields fruit alone. Even so the one talks, the second talks as
well as does, while the third does but never goes about proclaiming it.î
