Sarg 101-102 | |
Sarg 101 - Raam's Vilaap for Lakshman Raam said to Sushen - "Hey Sushen, Because of the hit of the Power Lakshman is bleeding a lot. I am worried about Him. If Lakshman will not live what I will do of my life? I am getting weaker seeing Lakshman's condition. My bow is falling down. I am very much worried about Him." And Raam started weeping. He said again - "What I am going to do with my life? As He came with me to forest, I would also go with Him to Swarg. He is my dear and follower. Raakshas has done this to Him. One can get everything in the world but there is no place where you can get your brother. What I will tell to Maa Kaushalyaa and Maa Sumitraa; and what I will reply to Bharat and Shatrughn. I don't know what sin I have committed in my previous life because of which I have to see the death of my brother with my own eyes. Where are you Lakshman? I m crying for you, why don't you speak to me?" Sushen consoled Raam and said - "Don't weep for Him. He is not dead. His face is shining, His heart is palpitating." Then he saidto Hanumaan - "You go on Mahodaya Parvat and there is a herb in south direction, bring it soon." Hanumaan immediately went there and thought if I took any other herb then it might be wrong, so let me take the whole mountain." So he lifted the whole mountain and kept it near Sushen and said - "I could not recognize the herb that is why I have brought the whole mountain." Sushen admired Hanumaan for his this decision and let Lakshman smell the proper herb. Lakshman got up in a few moments. Raam got very happy to see Lakshman got up, He said - "Lakshman, it is so good to see you alive. Had you not got up, I would have also died." Lakshman said - "You should not break your vow because of me. You must get Seetaa after killing Raavan. Therefore please, kill Raavan on my request." Sarg 102 - Raam Gets Indra's Chariot Raam got up and started showering arrows on Raavan. Raavan came to the battlefield on another chariot. Seeing Raam on the ground and Raavan on the chariot, Devtaa, Gandharv, Naag etc said to Indra - "Raakshas is on Chariot and Raam is on ground, this fight is not on equal basis." Indra immediately called Maatali and ordered him to take chariot to Raam. Maatali took the chariot to Raam, he greeted Raam and said - "Hey Raam, You kill Raavan riding on this chariot. Indra has sent this chariot for you." Hearing this Raam went around the chariot, did Pranaam to it and started fighting sitting in that chariot. Raavan shot poisonous arrows at Raam but He failed them by Garud arrows. Then Raavan shot 1,000 arrows at Raam and wounded Maatali and his horses. Raam got very angry at this and He shot many arrows steadily. Raavan used Shool saying, "You cannot escape this because I have picked it up to kill you." Raam stopped that Shool, but it burned all His arrows. Then Raam used the Power brought by Maatali. That Shool got destroyed and its broken pieces fell down. Then Raam wounded Raavan's horses
