Kara instigated
Surpanaka who had come for the destruction of the Rakshasaa clan, with withered face fallen and rolling on the ground Kara was eraged and shouted - “Did I not send, based on your words My Generals who were like Yama (God of Death)? Why are you crying again? They were devoted to me.They are extremely close to me and always meant my well being. Will they ever disobey my orders? They will kill other and not get killed. When this be so, why are you rolling down on the ground and crying like this like a wounded Serpent? When I am there to protect you can you cry like an hapless one? Get up. Do not fear; leave your worries” thus pacified her.
Then she mustered courage some how and swept her tears aside and said “I came here with my Nose and Ears cut. To please me you sent 14 Great warriors to kill Rama and Lakshmana. Rama with his Arrows pierced their nodal organs and sent them to YamaLok (Place where dead go). Seeing them fall as corpses and Rama’s awesome Valour I was trembling. I could not bear the Fear and agony. Where ever I turned it was like Rama. So I have sought refuge in you. I am floundering in the sea which has agnuish as Crocodiles and fear as the waves torpedoing me all around why are you still not saved me? The great warriors whom you sent became a prey to Rama’s arrows. If you have pity for them and myself, if you have the Valour, if you have the ability to wage a war with Rama, go and win over Rama who has with single minded devotion come to Dhanadakaaranya to wipe out the Rakshasaa race. Or else I will forsake my Praanan (Life force, Last Breathe,that without which causes Physical and medical Death), I will not feel shy. Despite telling so much your Prideless behavior indicates that you and your soldiers cannot withstand Rama in the battle, it becomes clear to me. Except yourself thinking you are the Greatest warrior, are you a real Warrior? Somehow you earned the name of Soor (Greatest Warrior). You are the True valorous warrior, who does not have the energy to rub the 2 Human insects. Hey Neecha (Lowly born) who has come to bring infamy to Rakshasa Clan. If you have Pride and self respect, if you have the ability to fight Rama, win over the enemy who is causing havoc in your kingdom. Or you and your relations leave this Dhandakaaranya and run away some where. Helpless creatures what work they have in a place for Warriors? Like the Firemoth you are going to turn into Ash in the Tejhas (shining with dazzling radiance of Aura) of Rama. Is not the Dasratha’s Son Rama the real Thejasvi Or Warrior? Is there any Warrior Like Lakshmana who dishellved and disfigured me?” - she Lamented, hitting herself in her Stomach, cried in anguish hoarsely. (Slokas 22)
