Lanka Kand
Entire army of
Ram descended on Suhel
Mountain, the other side of the ocean. Ravan got message that the army of Ram
was at the door step, he wanted to rejuvenate the demoralized subjects and army of
Lanka by arranging a merry making party with his family members, and marshals
of the army showing that it was a trifle matter for Ravan. Mandodari had
been trying to make Ravan understand the powers of Ram but he used to laugh away
telling that it did not suit to the wife of Ravan and it was something
unbecoming the queen of Lankapati Ravan. That time Ram was chatting with
Vibhishan and he got a very short shining image of which he enquired Vibhishan
and Vibhishn told Sri Ram that Ravan was merry making with his family members
and marshals it was reflection of the crown of Ravan. Ram immediately charged
his arrow which cut down the crown as under and it fell down on the earth. The
incident further demorlized Mandodari and the army of Ravan but he was not
ready to understand. Ultimately a messenger namely Angad son of Bali; the
valiant former king of Kishkindha, was sent to Lanka to make Ravan realize his
folly and return Sita with all honor but egoist Ravan did not hear of any one
ultimately the war broke out. When Ravan lost almost all the sons, brothers
and army, final dual fight was to take place in-between Ram and Ravan. Vibhishan found
Ram in a very matchless position to fight with Ravan such a
valiant warrior, unparalleled of the time; He raised certain doubts before Ram
and Ram dispelled the doubts of Vibhishan by preaching him of the elements and
essence of warfare of life. No war in life of a person or in life of a nation
can be won only on the strengths of material resources. Ram explained to
Vibhishan that the chariot used by Ravan was not that chariot using which one
could win any war against the entire worldly power. Rama ultimately killed Ravan
in the war and got Sita back.
