Sugreeva informed of Lakshmana’s Arrival
Thus Rama who had become thin and Angry due to pangs of Sita’s separation and commanding like this “ Lord ! Sugreeva ia a Monkey. He will not have the steadfast mind to adhere to righteous Path.He who is not capable of knowing the consequences of his actions. He Is not aware that Only due to your friendship Treaty in presence of Agni(Fire) he regained his wife and Vanara (Monkey) Kingdom. He wouldn’t enjoy this Wealth for Long. Has he ever been concerned about our task? Since he is of less intellect, he is immersed in measly pleasures. Only due to you that he got his Kingdom and he has to reciprocate and help you, this he does not know.So Kill him and make him join Valli. It was incorrect to have given this bad soul the kingdom. My anger is swelling and I am unable to contain it.’The sinner who falted on Sathyam(truthful conduct ) I will kill him now’Let Tara and Angadha search for Sita with their Monkey clan” thus adorning the weapon Lakshmana was starting in rage.Rama saw this and thought “ Oh My ! he has taken my words seriously, he may kill Sugreeva now itself” thus Rama was concerned and afraid, then he conveyed his thoughts in a clear and peaceful manner. And said “Lakshmana! Is there any one in this world, who giving way to rage ,dares to do this heinous act? The person who avoids the Sin of killing his Friend with his matured intellect is the Purshothama (Greastest amonst Men)He is the real Warrior. Do not think Killing Sugreeva is good. We should conduct ourselves with affection and Loyalty remembering the Freindship we have entered. Leaving aside Harsh words softly convey this “ Sugreeva! The time deadline set by you hasn’t it gone?’ thus you convince him”and Rama allowed Lakshmana to depart. Lakshmana clearly understood the words, that he has to speak and left towards Kishkinda. He has a Great intellect; always thinks of Auspicious happenings. He has always sought the well being of his elder brother; he is the one who carries out Rama’s orders without default. Lakshmana got enraged by Rama’s anger was holding the Kothanda(Bow) which was like Rainbow and tall like Mountain peak and he himself looked like the Executioner of Time and like the Huge Mandhra Moutain amongst various peaks. He was thinking and walking munching the words he has to speak and the justification which Sugreeva will give and the reply he has to convey suitably, wasn’t he like Jupiter in intelligence? He walked ferociously like the Gusty wind which fells the big trees and breaks the Mountian peaks and powdering the boulders.
Shortly he saw the Kishkinda which cannot be approached by Enemies guarded by Vanara(Monkey) Army. Due to the anger he had for Sugreeva his lips were quivering, saw the dangerous monkies walking out side the Kishkinda. They saw Lakshmana in rage and thought he is probably coming to fight with Sugreeva taking the Trees and huge boulders got ready to battle with him. Seeing this Lakshmana got further enraged like the Fire kindled by Dry Logs of wood. Seeing him like the Fire of deluge those monkeys ran for shelter in holes and crevaces. Some ran very fast and informed Sugreeva that Lakshmana is enraged and coming. But that Monkey king was playing with Tara in solitude, did notice their words. Then Ministers sent the Vanara(Monkey) warriors and asked them to guard the Fort. Those were dangerous; they were like huge in size like clouds, and mountains; they fight with Nails and Boulders; have cruel eye sight; have the muscle of Lion and other wild animals; there were amogst them Power equal to 10 Elephants some had 100 Elephants power and few had Energy that of 1000 Elephants. Thus these Strong Vanaras(Monkeys) rurrounding the City with trees and Lakshmana noticed this , Sugreeva was doing Alakshyam(Contempt, indifference,Ignoring, not bothered, care too hoots, abhore, contemptuous,with disdain) and Rama was getting anguished there Laskhmana was enraged and was breathing Hot with Fiery Eyes, he was looking ominous like the Fire with smoke. It was like the Bhanas were the Tongue and the Kothanda( Bow ) as it’s body, and the Aura as it’s Venomous Poison, he was looking like the 5 Headed Snake and he came very fast near the City. Angada saw Lakshmana coming like the King of Serpents Hissing and dazzling like the Fire of Dluge and said “ Oh My ! Should Sugreeva be drunk at this time? In this mood he will not even know who is Lakshmana and will ignore him” thus he was worried. Then Lakshmana called Angadha and said “ Child! Rama’s brother Lakshmana has come to see you. Unable to bear his elder brother’s greif, he is waiting in the Fort entrance. If you have any respect for his words, please at aleast get him here. Or at least you go there. This you tell Sugreeva: after conveying this you come here”said Laskhamana. Hearing this Angadha too got perturbed and went into Queen’s chambers, bowed to Sugreeva, Tara and Ruma.with anxiety and palce face conveyed what happened. As Sugreeva was drunk with Lust,Sleep, Drinks could not fathom what Angadha was telling him. Seeing delay in Angadha’s return Lakshmana got angry and was about to enter the Fort, the Vanaras(Monkeys) were scared and trembling, spoke to him bengninly and pacified him. Some wondered what he might do and screeched. Seeing Lakshmana coming like Thunder and coming like a Flood in Fury, some of them roared like Lion.
From that commotion Sugreeva woke up, with Necklaces and Garlands slipping with eyes swirling due to drunkness got up slowly from his bed. Angadha then ran and went and brought those confidential Minsters of the King Plaksha & Prabhav. They were allowed to in the Queens’ chambers. In all matters they cousell the King the well being,they went inside and said “ Lakshmana has come and desiring to talk to you on some matter”thus they conveyed to Sugreeva.Then they praised the King of Vanaras who was enjoying the Luxuries of Celestial King Devendra in many ways. And said “ You must be rememebering that two bothers Rama & Lakshmana had done friendship with you. They do not falter on Sathaym(Truth); Great Souls; they are worthy of ruling this world; They had killed your enemy Valli and they gave you this Vanara Kingdom.One of them Lakshmana has come upto the Fort entrance. Seeing him and afraid of him our Monkey clan are screeching and yelling. Based on Rama’s order he has come here to convey Rama’s opinon. In order to achieve his task, he is capable of slaying his enemies from their roots, he is the one who rushed Tara’s son Anghdha to you. That great Warrior is in a rage with fiery eyes is burning the Vanara’s with his glance, and is standing in the gate. So please go with your sons, friends and bow unto him.Great King! Can you afford to slip on your peldge? Please remember the treaty. Somehow carry out Rama’s ordain peacefully” thus they prayed to Sugreeva (Slokas 56)
