Vanaras Destroy Honey Grove
Then Hanuman told “ Vanaras ! Without fear Drink Honey casually. I will take care of those who prevent you “ Then Angadha ver happily said “ Friends ! Drink Honey as much as you want, Despite Maruthi who accomplished out Task told you is not appropriate, but we have to necessarily implement it.is there any need to ask some one?
All Vanaras welcomed it saying “ Good Good “ celebrating it like a Flood they swarmed the grove. They were happy on seeing Hanuman and Sita having been found and further got emboldened by Angadha’s approval, did not bother for the security gaurds they plucked Fruits and ate it, Drank the Honey, . When security men prevented them, they ganged up and beat them and chased them away. Some drank Honey in Dhonnai(cups made by folding Leaf). Some splashed Honey; Some drank Honey and then tore apart Honey Comb and threw it away; Some threw the Honey wax on others; Some were drunk held the branch and spread the Leaves and slept under the Tree. Some due to Drink with arrogance hurled themselves on one another; Some compeitingly jumped; Some roared like Lions; some who could not contain their happiness wee cooing. Some simply slept not knowing what was happening around them. Some did some activity and were Laughing to themselves; seeing that, others did some other activities. Some after accomplishing the task boasted they have done it; some decided this can be done this way.
The Security gaurds appointed by Dhadhimukha were threatened , ran to nook and corner and went reported to Dhadhimukha “ Lord ! Vanaras have entered the Grove and are destroying it.We stopped them to the maximum extent. They chased us away by pulling our Legs and threw us up in sky. They are doing this at the behest of Hanuman’s command”thus they complained. Hearing this Dhadhimukha became enraged , first pacified his security men “ Come with me. Those scoundrels who are spoiling our Grove we will with our forces and chase them away” said Dhadhimukha. Then Dhadhimukha and his men entered the Grove taking Trees, Stones, Boulders with them with the presence of Dhadhimukha they went to where the Vanaras were drinking.Hanuman and the Vanaras noticed Dahdhimukha was coming angrily at them went to challenge them. Great Strong Dhadhimukha having plucked a Tree and coming towards them , they were Drunk and did not relaise what he was doing slapped him and pushed him to the ground and rubbed him.Dadhimukha’s hands broke, Legs fractured, soaked in blood and was lying unconscious for sometime. Then soon he regained consciousness , got angry, he beat the Drunken Vanaras with stick, and separated them. Then with great difficulty he extricated himself he went seaparately to a secluded place and and told his servants, let this Scoundrels remain here.Let us go to the place where our King Sugreeva and Lord Rama are . I will blame everything on Angadha.Immediately Sugreeva will get angry and order us to kill these Vanaras. This Honey Grove is not accessible even to Devas(Celestials). It is very dear to Sugreeva; it belongs to his forefathers; it is really beautiful; . These Vanara Warriors who have drunk Honey and their accomplishes he will most certainly kill them. These people have disobeyed the Kings orders hence they should be executed. Will their insulting us like this go waste? “ thus saying he went very fast from there along with his security men reached where Sun’s son Sugreeva’s in no time before the eye winked.There seeing Rama Lakshman and Sugreeva landed from the sky and with folded hands raised above their head very feebly did prostrate before Sugreeva.
