Lakshmana regains Consciousness
Thus seeing Lakshmana bleeding profusely due to the wound caused by Ravana, while Rama was doing a gory battle with Ravana spoke to Sushena “Our Great Valorous Lakshmana is wounded in a battle with Ravana and is lying on the floor. Like the Huge Serpent which is rolling the ground writhing in pain causing me increased anguish.When Lakshamana is soaked in blood how can I be waging a battle when my senses are not in total control? This Warrior who has all the very best of Features required for a Valiant and who has the urge for Battle; one who was born with me; who accompanied me believing me; if he dies why should I have Sukham (Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun, Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires)? Do I need to be alive? My strength is ashamed and is going down; Kothanda (Bow) is slipping from my Hand; Unable to reach my Bhanas; My Tears are blanking my Eye sight. Like a person in his dream desiring to escape and Run away from danger and his feet does not move similarly my worry is, I feel it is better I Leave my Life” said Rama.
Rama saw Lakshman having been hit in nodal points of body and writhing in pain breathing heavily unable to bear the Torture was worried, in deep Sorrow and without control started Lamenting. My Life force which has hitherto moving about in the Form of Lakshmanawhne he is wounded and lying like this what is the use of Kingdom,
My own Praanan (Life force, Last Breathe, that without which causes Physical and medical Death) or Battle. When my darling younger brother is lying in a pool of blood nothing else occurs to me. My Manam (Intellect + Memory + Conscience + Ego), & my Indriyas
have all submerged in Him. I am only a walking Corpse. One can earn Wife in any Country; relation will be available In any place, but is there any Country where you can get a Brother Born with You?” - thus Rama was Lamenting Overcome by sorrow was rolling on the ground and crying owefully which made on lookers melt with pity Sushena with composure pacified Rama and spoke as follows.
“Lord! Lakshmana who is epitome of all the requisite Virtuous features is not dead;His face has not become Vikara (ugly, revolting body shapes, scary, threatening, uncouth, cruel disguises / postures), complexion has not changed; his Aura has not diminished; instead it is glowing and pleasant; Hands are like the blossomed Lotus Flowers; Eyes are clear. This is not the features of those who are Dead. Only those who have Long life will be like this. He is not Dead. He is alive. He has palms open and is Like a person who is fast asleep. His Heart beat is normal, so there is no doubt he is alive.
He called Anjhaneya “Quickly go to the Medicinal Moutain, whose Location Jhambahvaan has already described to you earlier along with their features etc. Please get those Vishalya Karani, Santhaana Karani, Saavarna karani and Sanjeevini as well. With those I will make Lakshmama get back his consciousness and make him alright like before” said Sushena.
Thus Hanuman came through the Sky Lane and reached where Medicinal plants were there, unable to locate them got worried, “To identify if I have go back to Sushena again, It will take time, planned activity also will be spoilt, so it is better to take this Mountain peak. Sushena has said they are growing here. I also feel they should be here; as I am energetic”. Thinking thus he with the help of his tail surrounded it 3 times southern tip of the Mountain, shook it , it came out with Mountain peak, Animals, Rivers, Plants and holding aloft in his hands reached as a floating Cloud flew in and jumped in the centre of the Vanaras.
Just relaxed a bit and kept it in front of Sushena - “The medicinal herbs you told me, I wasn’t able to identify them, so I have uprooted the entire Moutain peak as it is” said Hanuman.
Sushena appreciated Vayu’s son, took the required Medicinal herbs. Seeing the Miraculous achievement which Devas can’t, even Rakshasaas and Devas were awestruck. Then he took the essence of those medicines and made Lakshmana smell it. The Arrows in his body fell apart; wounds healed; torture stopped; once again he got up with the original Valiant Prowess. Seeing this Vanaras said ‘good, Good’ and celebrated Sushena. Rama called Lakshmana ‘Come Come’ and with great affinity hugged him and shed tears. “It is due to my Punyam (Good fortune accrued from Past or being accumulated for future by Virtuous Dharma / good deeds / conduct) I am able to see you alive. If You aren’t alive what purpose will it serve for me to be alive or get back Sita or winning over Enemies?” thus he exhibited his affinity to Lakshmana.
Hearing those words Lakshmana’s voice stuttered and said “Anna (Elder brother)! what word you uttered? Will Your Valour ever go waste? Haven’t You promised earlier that You will kill Ravana and Coronate Vibheeshana as the King? Can you talk like Hapless fellow, who has no identity of his own. Does this behove off you? Hey Epitome of Virtues who has no Sins attached you! Pious will never give up their Pledges.It is the feature of those who are generous to ensure their promises are fulfilled. You and Sita being slightly untoward in being Victorious for my sake is not justifiably correct. Kill Ravana and fulfill your words. Can any Enemy who is in the Line of Your Bhanaas ever escape death? Can an Elephant which has been sighted by a Roaring Lion which has sharp sabre tooth survive? Before Sun sets please quickly Kill this wicked Rakshasaa. If you want to Kill Ravana, if You want to fulfill your promise, if you want to regain Sita then conduct yourself as per my request quickly” said Lakshmana to Rama. (Slokas 54)
