THE TERRIBLE ENVOY |
|
He uprooted a
sal tree and, twirling it, flung it at Jambumaali. Then he plucked out a huge iron rod
from the temple and aimed it at the chariot and reduced it to splinters and crushed the
huge body of Jambumaali into a shapeless mass, in which neither head nor limbs could be
distinguished.
The issue of this battle was duly reported to Raavana. He was struck with wonder.
""Mis is indeed something strange," he said to himself. "This
murderous brute is not an animal, certainly not a mere monkey. It is some new creature
devised by my old enemies the gods to annoy me."
And be ordered mighty commanders to go with, a great army to capture the creature and
produce it before him.
The Raakshasa chiefs went forth in a great array of chariots. In full force they attacked
Hanumaan, who was as before stationed on top of the entrance and was laughing aloud in
disdainful unconcern. |
