Rama praises Lakshmana
Lakshmana’s body was soaked in blood everywhere with lot of opening of wound, Indrajith who had earlier imprisoned Devendra (King of Heaven) was killed by his younger brother made him immesly Happy. Then Jhanmbhavaan, Hanuman, and other Vanara Warriors helped Lakshmana who was tired due to the Battle went to where Rama and Sugreeva were. He bowed to Rama and did Namaskar. Like Jupiter is near Indra, Lakshmana was standing near Rama and was tired with stutterin voice he briefly informed him of the Fierce battle between him and Indrajith and informed him of slaying of Indrajith. Vibheeshana expounded it in detail. Rama of Limitless Vitality was ecstatic of Killing of Indrajith by Lakshmana said “Lakshmana! Good: You have accomplished the Task properly.There is no limit to my happiness because of this. It is certain that Indrajith is killed means the entire Enemy can be assumed to be Dead” saying this he kissed Lakshmana on his forehead, “My elder brother who is jewell of Valour, for this insignificant victory is praising me excessively “thus feeling shy was keeping away. Rama forcibly dragged him and made him sit on his Lap. He hugged his darling younger brother who was injured all over the Body often saw his Face was Happy. Then he saw him wounded all over the body with Blood seeping out, and the arrows which had pierced his body, was breathing heavily Rama was sad at his plight. Once again kissed his forhead and caressed him all over the body. Said ‘You have this habit of achieving the impossible task of others, You have now given Auspicious blessings to all the worlds.You have today sliced the Right hand of the cruel Ravana. He was totally dependent on Indrajith. Both Vibheeshana and Hanuman too played their role. For 3 days Ekadesi, Dwadasi, Thriayodhasi (11th,12th,13th of waxing moon) night and day without rest unabatedly fought You have with great difficulty killed that Rakshasaa Warrior Indrajith. Only today my enemies have been destroyed. Now having heard the death of his son will come with his full Amry to the war. Hitherto unbeaten by enemy owing to Loss of Son comes to battle, I will kill him by myself surrounded by Vanara Army. When you are around to carry out my commands where is my Limitation? When you have won over some one who won Indra it is like my getting Sita and this Earth in my hand.
Thus praising his brother and hugging him called Sushena “Hey Great Intelligent! My younger brother has thus been injured in battle, Please alleviated him for the torments and make him comfortable as usualVibheehsana and other Vanaras too have suffered injuries. It is your duty to make them get back their original strength, Valorous disposition” thus ordaind Rama. . Sushena made Lakshmana sniff the most notable Medicinal Herbs (Vishalya Karani, Sandhana Karani, Savarna Karani), due to that the Arrows which were protruding fell off; Torture ended; wounds healed and Body revitalized like the Original. Vibheeshana and other Vanaras were given appropriate treatment. Rama often praised Lakshmana’s miraculous Veera Kruthya (Valorous Expolits, Achievements of impossible task- hitherto not done) of that day.Vanara Leaders too on hearing Indrajith’s death were happy in all ways.
