HANUMAN BOUND |
|
| At the sight of
Indrajit Hanumaan roared and increased his stature still further. Silently the Raakshasa
warrior dispatched his darts. Showers of arrows began to descend as in the battle of
the gods and their cousins, the Asuras. Hanumaan rose in the sky and, moving with speed
like lightning, struck down the sharp arrows. His roar made the quarters echo, drowning
the drumbeats and the bow-twangs of the Raakshasa. The battle raged with increasing fury and filled all beholders with amazement. In skill and strength the two warriors were perfect equals. No matter how often he was wounded, Hanumaan's strength showed no signs of lessening. Indrajit therefore resolved, 'My arrows cannot vanquish this monkey. What my father said is true. He can be bound only by using the Brahmaastra.' The Raakshasa Prince sent forth the Brahmaastra. At its touch the Vaanara warrior lay bound and helpless. Hanumaan realised what had happened. He said to him self; 'I have been bound by the Brahmaastra'. Hanumaan too had secured a boon from Brahma, and this he now remembered. |
