Sarg 26 - Raavan Gets Nal-Koobar's Shaap The whole army slept there, but Raavan was enchanted by Parvat's beauty. Cool slow fragrant air was flowing, Kinnar couples were singing in sweet voices. Sound of singing and dancing of Apsaraa was coming from Kuber's palace. At the same time Rambhaa Apsaraa passed through that way adorned with all kinds of beautiful things. A desire rose in Raavan's heart to have her, so he caught her hand and said - "O beautiful woman, Where are you going? You are smelling like lotus flower. Who is going to touch your beautiful body? At this time no Devtaa, Indra, or Vishnu, or Ashwinee Kumaar can be compared to me, therefore you come to me. We will enjoy here on this rock." Hearing these words of Raavan, Rambhaa got scared and said - "You are my father-in-law. because I am going to see Nal-Koobar, your brother Kuber's son. He would be waiting for me. And is it all right for you to rape your son's wife?" Raavan said - "You said, you are my son's wife, but this concept is only for those women who have only one husband. You are an Apsaraa, your duty is to please Devtaa, so today you please me instead of any other Devtaa." And Raavan had her there only. Rambhaa's clothes and jewelry were displaced, flower garlands were broken. She came to Nal-Koobar in such condition and told him everything. Nal-Koobar got very angry and gave Shaap to Raavan immediately, that "in future if he will have any woman without her wish, his head will break into seven pieces." Devtaa got very happy to hear this Shaap and they started beating drums. So Raavan didn't have any woman without her wish after having this Shaap. The Pativrataa women who were abducted by Raavan got very happy with this Shaap. Sarg 27 - Raavan Goes to Win Indra Agastya Muni said - "Hey Raam, Later when Raavan arrived in Indra Lok with his army, his army's noise echoed in the whole Dev Lok. Hearing Raavan coming for fighting, Indra ordered Aaditya, Vasu, Rudra, Saadhya and Marud Gan to fight with him. All Devtaa got ready to fight immediately. But then Indra got scared and He went to Vishnu and prayed - "Hey Bhagvaan, Mighty Raavan has surrounded our Dev Lok with his army, therefore you come and fight with him." Vishnu said - "This is my vow that I don't come back from battlefield without killing the enemy. But because of Brahmaa's Var, Raavan, at present, cannot be killed by Devtaa, therefore I cannot fight with him now. You will have to wait till then. You may fight with Raavan with the help of Devtaa fearlessly." Hearing this Indra came to battlefield and the war started. Sumaalee, Maareech, Prahast etc Raakshas pushed Devtaa's army back as wind scatters clouds. Seeing Devtaa army running away, Saavitra named eighth Vasu started showering his weapons. Twashtaa and Pooshaa also showered their arrows on Raakshas. After a fierce fight Devtaa army ran away, but Saavitra decided to continue the war. He broke Sumaalee's chariot, then he hit Sumaalee's head with his Gadaa which broke his head. Seeing Sumaalee dead, Raakshas ran away from there.
