Thath Trikala Hitham Vakyam Dharmya Marthanubandhi Cha
Manyswa Naradevaya Janaki Prathi Dheeyatham
Drushta Heeyam Maya Devi Labdham Yadhiha Durlabham
Utharam Karma Yachesham Nimitham Thathra Raghava:
Lakshitheyam Maya Seetha Thatha Shoka Parayana
Gruhe Yam Nabhi Janasi Panchasyamiva Pannagim
Neyam Jarayithum Shakya Sa Surairamaraipi
Visha Samshrushta Mathyartham Bhuktha Manna Mivoujasa
 
 
 


Anjaneya continued “Listen to me King of Demons; I am here at the command of Sugriva, brother of the mighty Vanara Vali.  There was a righteous King Dasaratha who had the splendor equivalent as Lord Indra, his eldest son Rama young charming valiant prince moved to woodland with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman at the command of his father.  The honorable prince Rama’s wife and the daughter of King Janaka was gone missing in the forest of Dandaka.  The two valiant princes went in search through the forest and met Sugriva at Rishyamukha.  They promised each other to help in their mission, therefore Rama killed the powerful Vali in a single shot of his arrow and eventually Sugriva was appointed as the throne to Kishkindha.  Consequently, Sugriva sent his numerous mighty Vanaras in search of Sita to all directions.  I am Anjaneya, son of Lord Vayu came here crossing the vast ocean of 100 Yojanas wishing to see Sita, and eventually I met her in Asoka Gardens.  You have mastered numerous austerities and should not yearn for other’s wife; this very act would cause destruction to you and your clan.  No one has gained happiness by putting Rama into anxiety.    I advise you for your good Ravana return Sita to Rama, which would restore peace to you and your Kindgom.  She is equivalent to five hooded serpent, a poison consumed never helps to digest and you have detained a Kalaratri, which will cause the destruction of your entire Kingdom effortlessly.  Oh! Ravana listen to my words Rama alone would be capable to destroy the city of Lanka.  Rama, who is the Lord of Lords, has the prowess equivalent to Lord Vishnu; it would be unlikely to survive after committing a sin to him.  Even Lord Brahma, the self-existed Lord of Creation with four faced and Lord Rudra who has three eyes and destroyer of Tripura, Mahendra the lord of celestials would not be able to protect you from Rama. ”  Ravana ordered to Kill Anjaneya after listening to the ruthless and consequential words of him.  Vibhishana, the younger brother of Ravana firmly opposed the verdict of Ravana to kill a messenger; he softly spoke to his brother to set aside his anger and listen to his words.  He advised Ravana that it is not an appropriate method of punishment to kill a convoy; moreover it was against royal virtues and universal custom.  Ravana was blazing in anger disagreed with the opinion of his brother.  Vibhisha patiently approached Ravana and enlightened him about the righteousness of a ruler and the predictions of the Sages.  Visbhishana also agrees with the fact that the Vanara deserves punishment for the mayhem he had caused to the City of Lanka and there are many ways to punish him by causing deformity, physical torture, shaving head or imprint an evident mark on the body etc.. Vibhishana firmly oppose the very idea of killing a messenger sent by an enemy, he continues to praise the virtues of Ravana and calming down.  Finally, Ravana heed to the words of Vibhishana agreed to give an appropriate punishment to Anjaneya.
