AKAMPANA, one of the few Raakshasas who survived the great slaughter at
Panchavati, fled to Lanka and seeking audience of Raavana, said: "Almost all our
people who occupied Janasthaana are dead and Janasthaana is now an empty ruin. I alone
have managed to escape with life."
Raavana was furious with anger. He stared
and violently shouted, "who destroyed my lovely Janasthaana? Was it Yama or Agni or
Vishnu? I shall deal death to the god of Death. I shall burn up both the god of fire and
the sun. I shall strangle and suffocate the god of wind. Tell me, who was it that
destroyed Janasthaana and killed my men heedless that I am here to avenge? Speak out at
once." |
