The moment Mandodar∂ (Råvaƒaís principal spouse) saw her lordís heads she
fainted in her grief and dropped to the ground. His other wives too sprang up and rushed
to the spot weeping; lifting up and supporting Mandodar∂ they all arrived where Råvaƒaís
remains lay. Seeing their lordís condition they set up a shriek; their hair flew loose and
they became oblivious of their body. Wildly beating their bosom and weeping, they
recounted his glory. ìAt your might, my Lord, the earth ever shook; fire, the moon and
the sun stood obscure before your splendour. Even ›ea (the serpent-god) and the
divine Tortoise could not bear the weight of your body, which is now lying on the ground
soiled with dust. Varuƒa (the god presiding over the waters), Kubera (the god of riches),
Indra (the lord of the celestials) and the wind-godónone of these ever had the courage
to confront you in battle. By the might of your arm, my lord, you conquered Death as well
as Yama (the god who punishes evil-doers in the other world); yet you lie today like a
forlorn creature. Your greatness is known all the world over; even your sons and
kinsmen possessed untold strength. Hostility with Råma has, however, reduced you to
such a plight : not one of your stock is left to lament over your death. The whole of Godís
creation, my lord, was under your control; the frightened regents of the eight quarters
ever bowed their heads to you. But now jackals feast on your heads and arms, a fate
in no way undeserved by an enemy of ›r∂ Råma. Doomed to death, my lord, you heeded
not my words, and took the Ruler of all animate and inanimate beings for an ordinary
mortal. (1ó7)

ìYou took for a mere man ›r∂ Hari Himself, a veritable fire to consume the forest
of the demon race, and did not adore the All-merciful, to whom, my beloved spouse, Lord
›iva, Brahmå (the Creator) and other gods do homage. This body of yours had taken
delight from its very birth in harming others and was a sink of multitudinous sins; yet ›r∂
Råma has absorbed you in His own being ! I bow to Him, the immutable Brahma.
