A CARNIVAL |
|
| They alighted
near the protected park of the Vaanara king. They made their way into it, drank honey and
ate fruit, regard less of the warnings of the guards. They indulged in unrestrained
revelry and ruined the beautiful park. Unable to stand the riotous behaviour of the mirth-makers, Dadhimukha, Sugreeva's uncle and keeper of the royal park, hurried to the king and complained. "Your protected park has been laid waste. The Vanaras that went south have returned and, alighting in -the garden, are behaving outrageously. They pay no heed to my words. On the contrary, they assaulted and insulted me, drank up and ruined all the honeycombs and plucked and ate fruit as they liked and are now lying senseless as a result of their revelry. The trees and plants are all in ruins. The king should forth with inflict condign punishment on these undisciplined Vaanaras." Sugreeva understood the position at once. "Lakshmana, it is clear that Hanumaan, Jaambavaan and Angada have succeeded in their search and are celebrating their triumph in this manner." Saying this he turned to Dadhimukha and said to him, "Send them all here at once." Dadhimukha now understood the real state of affairs and, hastening to the Vaanaras, conveyed to them the king's command. |
