LANKA IN FLAMES

And because they attacked me and tried to kill me, I killed them in self-defence. I have come here as the messenger of Sugreeva, the Vaanara king. O Raakshasa king my lord looks on you as a
brother and sends you his greetings. Raamachandra, the famous son of king Dasaratha of Ayodhya, has become a friend of Sugreeva and slaying Vaali has made Sugreeva king.

When Raamachandra, heir to the throne of Ayodhya, was living in the Dandaka forest to fulfil his father's word, his consort who had been left alone for a while was lost and at the behest of Raama and
Lakshmana, Sugreeva has sent his servant to look for her throughout the world. I came to Lanka on this search and here I saw the good princess.

O lord of the Raakshasas, I speak to you with the respect due from the messenger of a brother king. I speak to you also as a devoted servant of the Prince of Ayodhya. You know well it was a cowardly act and totally contrary to dharma to carry off
the princess Seeta. This is sure to end in the destruction of your race if you persist in your wicked folly.
