Nikumbhila Yaga
The War Cry of indrajith which was akin to Indra’s Vajhra falling on earth made all Vanaras tremble and made them scurry in all directions and hid themselves. Anjaneya who was pale faced feebly spoke to the Retreading Vanaras - “hey Friends! Why are you retreating from Battle field having lost your courage and running away like this? Where is Your Showriya (Courage, Valour, Battle Honour, Vigour)? Does it behove you who have been born in the best of Families, running away showing your back? I will go forward; You follow me - “thus he boosted their morale. Hearing him they slowly started following Maruthi after collecting their weapons of Mountains, Trees, Boulders with a Gory Growling Roar. Like Agni Bhagwan (God of Fire) surrounded by Flames Anjaneya entered the Rakshsaa Army, with total rage decimated the Rakshasaas. Like Yama (God of Death) during Deluge takes away the Lives of all Living Beings overwhelmed by Sorrow, Anger, he threw a Huge Boulder on Indrajith’s Chariot. Anticipating the great sagacious Charioteer deftly moved it away. That boulder missing the target of Chariot, Horses fell in to the ground dug deeply. Immediately all Vanaras ( Ape men-Gorrilas- Godzillas- Orangutans-Chimpanzees- Apes- Monkey Lon gtailed, yellow eyed- red mouth- pink ,Grey,Blackcoloured- small – big sized – Learned- playfull all types of Monkey clan) joined together and jumped on him in cluster and pelted and Poured Mountains and Trees, killed many a Rakshsaas roared in Happiness in many ways. In that battle field many weird looking Rakshasass who were hurt were rolling and wailing on the ground. Seeing his Army being destroyed by the Vanara Army, he hit the Vanara Leaders with choicest of Bhanas and perturbed their morale. His entourages with Tridents, Ulakkai (War hammers) Swords killed many Vanaras.
In another place Hanuman was killing Rakshasaa warriors in scores with trees, Moutains, Boulders. Blocking the Rakshasaa Army he spoke to the vanaras” -Let us return; what will be the benefit we will get by winning over them? Till now we were risking our Life at stake and were giving happiness to Rama. The purpose for which we did Battle that Sita has been killed right in front of our Eyes. We will convey this information to Rama Lakshmana Sugreeva and then do as per their orders” - then taking along all his Vanara Army with him went to where Rama was.
Indrajith having achieved his Plan saw this is the Moment he was waiting for so he went to the Nikkumbhila Tree grove started Agni, gave Ahuthi (sacrificial offerings During Homa in Agni kundaie Fire Pit) with Meat and Blood. The Flames emanating from there was akin to the Sunduring Dusk. Indrajith knower of Yaga procedure. In order to do the best for the Rakshasaas for their Fame he performed the Yaga with zest surrounded by the exponents in conducting Yagaa. (Slokas 29)
