THE TERRIBLE ENVOY

THE Raakshasa warriors saw with amazement a mighty Vaanara seated on the garden gate, who at their approach grew to still bigger size and formidable menace.

"Oh! You have come, have you?" he said and, jumping down, brandished his tail, and striking the ground with it, roared till the four quarters shook. He snatched the huge iron bar from the gate and, armed with this weapon, began to attack them all.

He sprang and leaped in all directions and, whirling the iron rod, struck the Raakshasas down, one by one. After finishing them thus, he resumed his seat on the top of the pillared entrance, and roared once again.

"Long live Raama! Long live Lakshmana!" he loudly proclaimed. "Long live King Sugreeva! Oh! Ye Raakshasas of Lanka, your doom are near. The great warriors Raama and Lakshmana and King Sugreeva have sent me here to destroy you. Come on in your thousands. I stand here ready to hurl you to destruction. I have saluted Seeta and received her blessings. And now I am going to
destroy your city!"
