THE BATTLE BEGINS

At once, two Raakshasas caught hold of Angada. He rose in the sky carrying these two Raakshasas on either side of him and then flung them down.

He rose higher up and, coming down kicked and broke off the tower of the king's palace. Then with a single leap he returned to where Raama was.

Dazed by Angada's exploit, the Raakshasas were filled with fear, but they did not disclose it. Raavana, too, heaved a heavy sigh at the sight of the broken turret. He looked on it as a bad omen.

As soon as Angada returned, Raama issued orders to the army to begin the assault on Lanka.
