Surpanaka instigates Kara
Seeing his sister disfigured with her Nose, Ears sliced and lying on the gound with blood flowing profusely Kara her elder brother got enraged - “get up; Control yourself, Think properly. Who dishevelled you like this? Tell clearly. When a Black Cobra was lying down without troubling any one, some one without realizing its power, with his little finger tip pricked it and instigated it; who is this intelligent person? Who is the fool not knowing his imminent death when he is hanging the Yama (God of Death) Rope around his neck? A person who drank the most heinious Poison thinking it is an Elixir, who is that Fortunate person who tormented you? Is Your Strength and PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance, Exploits, Valor, Heroism, Gallantry, Prowess, Ability, Valour) ordinary? You can go to any place you think; You are like Yama (God of Death); You can take the Disguise you think / want. Who is the person who did this to you? Who is the person who disfigured you like this, is he a Celestial, Gandharva or the Saints who are Great Souls amonst them who is this Great Warrior? Except Indra who has 1000 Eyes no one in all the worlds dare to do this which is not to my liking. Like the Swan which drinks the Milk diluted with water, now itself with my cruel Arrows I will pierce / explode the nodal points of his body and usurping his Life; I will make the earth drink his blood with froth. Person who is going to be killed by me in the battle which birds are going to eat his flesh? Let him be any one be it Yaksha, Devas (Celestials), Gandharva, Pishacha (Ghost) can he avert his misfortune of battling me? Who is the wicked who tormented and ashamed you that too in my Forest? Stabilze your intellect and tell me” - with anger Kara roared and Surpanaka with tears rolling down narrated same as follows.
“They are good Young Men; Even though they were of same age, were they different Looks?, No they were alike. They are greatly Handsome; some may be young but they will not be handsome; these two are not like that. Even Manmadha (God of Love) have to beg them for their Handsomeness. Their beauty will never vanish. With Beauty and Age being young is their Body hard? or Granite Stone like yours? No their’s was soft like the Blossomed Flower. Lakshmana when he cut my Ears and Nose his hand touched my body, that feeling of elation is fondly reminding me again and again. Even if he cuts in me into pieces my body yearns for one more touch of his hand. Is it due to this are they weak? Are they who cannot satisfy women? But they are very strong men. ‘Generally they may be Handsome, How the body Limb features will it be proper? If you ask I will just tell about their beautiful Eyes. Listen. Where are your Eyes which are like Blood red or an inferno? Neither the sleepy droony eye depicting the Thamo Guna (Violent Character) nor the red colour depicting the Rajo Guna (Character of one of enjoyment / merriment). Only epitomizing the Satvaguna (Noble Character). Where are their white Lotus petals like Large eyes? Let their beauty be set aside, the Deerskin and the Maravuri (Dresses made of wooden Barks / Leaves)have got their Sheen and Lusture as they are caressing their bodies.They consume Fruits, Roots, Vegetables and won over their Senses in the garb of Thapasvi they are following their Dharma, they said
they are the sons of Dasaratha namely Rama and Lakshmana. But seeing their PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance, Exploits, Valor, Heroism, Gallantry, Prowess, Ability, Valour) they look like Ghandarva Kings. But Royal features are fully evident in them. So I am not able to determine if they are Humans or Celestials. Between them there is a young maiden with all ornaments adorning her and of a beauty which is undescribable. For her sake only they both considered me as Orphan and Dhust (Scoundrel, bad, wicked, cruel, cunning, rascal, Villainous, devil, evil, nasty heinious ) that they have meted out this treatment to me. I want you to kill them in Battle and I want to drink their blood with froth. First you should accomplish this task fully. “ said Surpanaka to Karan.
Karan hearing this got angry, he addressed the 14 Generals who were like the Yama (God of Death) of his 14,000 soldiers and said “Two humans wearing Deer skin and wooden barks as Dressess duly armed have come with a Lady to our gory Forest Dhandakaaranya. You kill them both and bring their bodies along with the Woman here. My Sister who was born with me wants to drink their blood. Quickly finish the job and come” ordered Karan. Immediately the 14 Generals set along for the battle like Khumbahkarna’s Chandamrutuha and reached there. Seeing them Rama came in front of them. Like how the Elephants can’t approach the Forest Fire they could not near Rama, the Great Tejhasvi (whose effervescence was Dazzling in all directions with Limitless Aura). (Slokas 28)
