ANXIETY IN LANKA |
|
We have had
some taste of Hanumaan's strength and skill. It is point less to talk lightly of him. Did
he not do remarkable things? Though our own strength may be great, we should weigh
it against the enemy's strength and then decide whether we should seek war or avoid it.
But first it is essential that we should restore Seeta. My advice is this, before Raama
and the Vaanaras attack Lanka, let us restore Seeta. Dear brother, I am saying all this
for your good. Pray, do not be angry with me. We should first set right our own fault and
then think of other things."
Thus with folded hands Vibheeshana besought Raavana.
Though Raavana was pleased with the vain-glorious words of his ministers and generals,
there was doubt lurking in his mind. Hence, after listening to Vibheeshana, he said:
"Let us meet again tomorrow and consider this matter."
He adjourned the Council, and retired. |
