Sarg 7 - Raavan's Ministers Console Raavan

When Raavan said thus to His ministers, then all his ministers stood joining their palms and said, in fact they all said this without knowing the powers of enemy - "Hey Raajan, We have Parigh, Pattish, etc powers, you need not to worry about the enemy. You got victory over Bhogvatee Puree by winning snakes like Vaasuki, Takshak, Ekjatee. You won Kuber who lives on Kailaash Parvat, has done many Yagya and has the honor of being Shiv's friend. You won him and brought many Vimaan from there. You won even his sons along with their Chaturanginee armies. Maya Daanav married his daughter to make you his friend. You won Durmad. You fought with those Raakshas for one year who got Var of limitless powers, and won them. Then there you learned many Maayaa. You won even Yam Raaj's army in the sea full of Shaalmalee trees, Kaal Paash like waves and hundreds of snakes.

Raam is nothing in comparison to all of them, You be patient, even your son Indrajeet can kill all of them. Whatever Var Indrajeet has got from Shiv Jee, it is very rare. He caught Indra in the fight and brought Him in Lankaa. He freed Him on the request of only Brahmaa Jee. He can go up to Swarg and all Devtaa bow him there. Whenever you will order him to kill Raam's army, he will kill them all. So you should not worry about that ordinary man. You will surely kill Raam."

Sarg 8 - Raavan's Ministers Encourage Raavan

Then Raavan's blue cloud-complexioned army-chief Prahast said - "Hey Mahaaraaj, When we can defeat Devtaa, Daanav, Gandharv, Naag etc all of them, then what are these two men? We were not very careful at that time [when Hanumaan came here] that is why Hanumaan cheated us, otherwise he couldn't have escaped me. If you order me I can empty Prithvi from Vaanar. You won't have to suffer for your mistake.

Durmukh said angrily - "Our this defeat is not pardonable. That Vaanar's destruction of Lankaa is the insult of Raakshas Raaj Raavan. I can push all Vaanar back alone wherever they are - whether they are in the sky, Paataal Lok or Prithvi Lok."

Hearing this Vajradanshtra spoke - "But what we have to do with this Hanumaan [means Hanumaan is nothing] when we are considering Raam, Lakshman and Sugreev. I can go alone, scare the whole army and come back after killing Raam, Lakshman and Sugreev. My other advice is that who knows alternatives, he can win enemy by tactics. There are thousands of Raakshas who can take form according to their wish. They can go to Raam in the form of human beings and say to Him, "Your brother Bharat has sent us to ask for help". At this they will take their army there. At the same time we will attack them equipped with all kinds of weapons. Even if they will know the secret, then also they will have to die because they won't have any army then."

Hearing this Kumbhkarn's brave son Nikumbh said angrily - "Better you all stay with Mahaaraaj. I alone will go and kill both Raam and Lakshman and the whole army along with Hanumaan and Sugreev."

Hearing this Vjrahanu said - "You all may act as you may wish, you may even drink liquor, I alone will kill Sugreev, Hanumaan, Lakshman etc along with their army."
