Lakshmana Starts for War
Rama did not take notice of Vibheeshana’s words as his thoughts were in disarray on Sita being slayed.Then he got courage and called Vibheeshana “Hey Lord of Rakshasaa, I would like to hear your words once again! Vibheeshana replied “As per your orders I have regrouped the respective Armies and left it under the care of the Army Commanders. Let me also inform you another matter. When without reason grieve we also anguish with you. So stop grieving and motivate us all and quell the pride of Enemies. Take over Courage, Clarity in thoughts, Concerted effots. Don’t you have to retrieve Sita? Haven’t you to decimate Rakhsasaas from the root? So please listen to the strategy I am telling now carefully. Lakshmana should go with Vanara Army to a place called Nikumbhila. Let him disturb Indrajith who is doing Yaga there and kill him. Let him bend the Kothanda as a Bow and with Bhanas shoot at Indrajith’s chest like the Kala Sarpum (Serpent or Lasoie Rope of death which ties its Noose around Living beings at the time of their Death, when their Life span is over) explode it and take Indrajith’s Life away. He had worshipped God Brahma with severe penance obtained Brahma chiras Asthra and got a Chariot and its horses which can go to where ever he can imagine to. Now he has gone with his Army to Nikumbhila. If he is able to complete the Yaga without obstacles then we are all dead, there is no doubt in that. Brahma has ordained “Before you reach the Peepal tree under Nikumbhila, before you can finish the Yaga, the person who challenges you and hits you because of him Your Death will happen Indrajith”.
Rama when he heard this said “I know his strength of Maya very well. He is possessor of Brahmasthra; great intelligent man; Great Mayaavi (Mystic / Sorceer and Magician / Hypnotic / exponent in deception with ability to vanish into thin air and appear in sky far away or nearby); Great Strong person; he is capable of making unconscious even if the Lords of Directions and Devas oppose him; Like the Sun covered by Clouds; when in sky Lane he traverses in Chariot, his movements aren’t known. Having known about his enemy and also knowing Laskhamana’sValour still he spoke to him “Child! Take Sugreeva’s, Jhambahvaan’s Army with Hanuman win over the matchless Maya (Mystic / Magical / Sorcerer) warrior and return. This Vibheeshana Is a great intelligent man; He knows the whereabouts, ways where Rakshasaa’s Maya are; he is coming with his Ministers”. said Rama to Lakshamana.
Immediately Lakshmana took the bow wore the vest, hung hs quiver in his back, tied his sword, touched Rama’s feet and did Namaskar “Anna (Elder Brother) Today the Bhanas emanating from my Kothanda (Bow) will pierce Indrajith’s Heart and like the swans flock Pushkarni lake it will fall all over Lanka” thus saying with Goddess Valour Lakshmi blessing him with Her Aura, he Started for Killing Indrajith. Rama blessed him, chanted the protective Manthras thus no danger will befall Lakshmana in the Battle, gave him Approval to proceed.Then Lakshmana with Vibheeshana and Jhambhavaan’s Armies along with Anjhaneya went for long, saw indrajith’s Army. Since he knew Indrahjith very well as per Brahma’s order before Indrajith could go to Nikumbhila he was waiting in a palce where he could challenge him. Like the Sun which enters the pitched Darkness, with many types of weapons, Masts, Flags, Chariots That Ominous Rakshasaa Army was penetrated by Angadha, Hanuman, Vibheeshana, with Lakshmana.(Slokas 39)
