Do you sport with me, for ever, O hero, in these mountainous strongholds and on the banks of the rivers.

Thereat, exercised with ire, Laksmana, the subduer of foes, uplifting his dagger, chopped off her nose, ears and breast.

Having her nose and ears cut off, that terriblelooking Räkşasi, emitting fearful cries, fled away whence she had come.

On her departure, proceeding quickly, the two brothers, Rāma and Lakşmaņa, the conquerors of foes, reached a dense forest.

There upon the highly effulgent and truthful Laksmana, possessing a pure character, spoke, with folded hands, to his brother of flaming energy.

My left arm is throbbing, my mind is filled with anxiety and I perceive before me many a bad omen. Do you put on your habiliments, O worshipful one, and act by what I say for your well-being. Methinks from these bad omens some calamity shall soon befall us.

O Rāma, this terrible bird Vanjulaka is emitting fearful cries as if announcing our victory in the conflict.

Thereupon while they began to explore the entire forest with their prowess there arose a terrible sound as if breaking down the wood.

The forest was enveloped on all sides with a mighty wind and everywhere was audible a roar filling the wood-land.

With a view to ascertain whence the sound proceeded, Rāma, with a dagger in hand, along with his younger brother, espied a Rākşasha of huge proportions, having big thighs.

The two brothers beheld that Rākşasa stationed before them, having a huge body, devoid of head and neck and therefore a headless demon and having its mouth on its belly.

Its body resembled a huge mountain and was covered with sharpened down; its look was terrible like to sable cloud and its roar resembled the muttering where of.

Its one terrible, expansive eye, seeing all, was on the fore-head placed on its breast and shone forth like to the flaming fire and it had huge yellow eye-lashes. Its mouth was greatly widened and covered with rows of huge teeth and it was again and again licking that terrible mouth.

And stretching forth its two huge arms extending over a Yojana it was devouring bears, lions and deer. It was catching and throwing with its huge hands many an animal, bird and bear.

Hindering the way-fare it was awaiting those two brothers. And proceeding a Krosa, they espied that fearful, grim-visaged, headless demon, hindering all creatures with its arms, terrible-looking and appearing like a kabandha from its very situation,

Thereupon that one, of huge arms, stretching them forth, got hold of those two descendants of Raghu crushing them with its strength.

Those two highly powerful brothers, of mighty arms, with daggers and bows in their hands, were assailed and got hold of by that Raksasha.

Rāma was heroic and patient by nature and consequently was not much afflicted; but Laks maņa was a mere boy and impatient by nature and was consequently greatly afflicted.

Being greatly distressed, the younger brother of Răghava spoke to him, saying Do you behold me, O hero, brought under the hold of this Raks asha, and renouncing me only, O Rāghava, do you get yourself cff. And offering me as sacrifice, do you escape at your ease.

Methinks for certain, O Kākutstha, you shall soon come by Vaidehi and regain your ancestral kingdom. But remember me always, O Rāma, when you shall find yourself placed on the throne.

Being thus addressed by Lakşmaņa, Rāma spoke to Saumitrī—Fear not in vain, O hero; persons of your prowess are never afflicted (with fear).

Meanwhile the wicked headless, demon, of huge arms, the foremost of Dānavas, addressed the two brothers Rāma and Lakşmaņa.

Who are you two youthful figures having the neck of a bull and with mighty daggers and bows in your hands? Arriving in this fearful place you have by chance come within the compass of my vision. Tell me now what have you to do here, and what for have you come? I have been waiting here being hungry, and you have come here having daggers and bows with arrows in your hands like to two oxen having sharpened horns. Nearing me quickly, it will be hard for you to draw your vital breath.

Hearing those words of the vicious-souled Kabandha, Rāma having his countenance dried up, bespoke Laksmana-O you, having truth for your prowess, again and again, greater and worse calamities have been threatening us. We have already met with a dire disaster leading to our death, consequent on my separation from my dear one.

Mighty is the course of Destiny in all creatures, O Lakşmaņa. Do you O best of men, behold even yourself and me stricken with calamity. But O Lakşmaņa it is not very difficult for destiny to afflict all creatures.

Under the influence of destiny even the mighty heroes, well habited in armours are distressed like to a bridge of sands.

Addressing these words to Saumitrī, the resolute, powerful and highly famous son of Dasaratha, having truth for his prowess, composed himself by dint of his own understanding.

Beholding both the brothers, Rāma and Laks maņa, clasping each other with their arms, the headless demon spoke:

O two best of Ksatryas, are you waiting here beholding me hungry? O you having lost your sense, you have been chosen by Destiny as my food.

Hearing those words Laksmana, sore, distressed and determined to display his valour, addressed Rāma with words worthy of being said on that occasion.

This vile Rākṣasa shall seize both of us; let us sunder soon its two huge arms with our daggers.

This grim-visaged Raksasas, of huge proportions, gifted only with the strength of arms, defeating all other persons, has addressed itself at last to destroy us.

It is odious for the Kșatriyas to make away with those who cannot defend themselves like to animals brought for sacrifice.* The purport is : Lakṣmaṇa wanted to chop off the arms of Kabandha and not to put an end to its life as it was not capable of fighting, being a headless demon. And it is not proper for the Ks atryas to destroy those who cannot fight.

Hearing their conversation, the Raksasa, inflamed with rage, widening its terrible mouth, prepared to devour them up. This has a special significance here-meaning to get hold of them by stretching forth its arms.

Thereat Rāma and Lakşmana, cognizant of time and place, pleased+, sundered its arms off its shoulders with their daggers. They were pleased because they cut off its arms with ease like to the trunks of a plantain tree.

Having got its arms dissevered, the terriblevoiced, Kabandha, of huge arms, roaring like to the muttering of clouds and resounding the heaven, earth and all the quarters, fell flat on the ground.

Being thwarted by mother (Kaikeyi) in his accession of kingdom, he, renouncing all, has fled as an exile to woods, and has, along with me and his spouse, been ranging this forest. While living in the dense forest the wife of Răma, effulgent like to the celestials has been ravished by a Raksasa. Searching her, have we come here.

O Mighty armed Rāma of great prowess, formerly my beauty, beyond conception, was known all over the three worlds, like to the beauty of the Sun, the Moon and Indra. I used to frighten everywhere the ascetics living in the forest by turning this my beauty into a terrific form.

O Lakşmaņa, know me to be the beautiful son of Danu. Through Indra's curse in the battle field I have been metamorphosed into my present shape. After I had pleased him with hard austerites, the Grand-Father of the celestials conferred on me a long life. And therefore I was inflamed with pride assailed Indra in a conflict, thinking within me, 'I have gained a long life-what can Indra do me?'

And the graceful demon, wearing an unsullied cloth and having all its limbs crested with diverse ornaments, rose from the pile high up in the welkin with a delighted heart. Thereupon mounting on a famed car, brilliant and drawn by swans* and lighting up all the quarters with the effulgence of his person, that highly powerful one, stationing himself in the heaven, addressed Rāma. By virtue of the pious observances performed by him in his previous existence and for his being burnt by Rāma that celestial car appeared there.

Do you hear truly, O Rāghava, of the means by which you shall come by Sīta. There are six expedients. O Rāma, by virtue of which kings acquire all objects. He, in whom misfortune has culminated, should seek the company of one such+. The six expedients are as follow—(1) Sandhi, peace. (2) Vigraha war-fare. (3) Yāna, military expedition against an enemy. (4) Asana-halting. (5) Daidhibhava-sowing dissension. (6) Samaşraya seeking protection. This is a moral law referring to the sixth to or expedient, to be resorted by the kings-namely Samasrarya seeking protection.

Do you proceed soon, O hero, to Sugriva of mighty prowess, and repairing hence even to-day do you contract friendship with him, taking vow in the presence of flaming fire* that you shall not envy each other. This refers to the the oriental custom of performing every sacred rite in the presence of fire as witness. The Hindus regard the fire with sacred reverence and for this in all their social and religious ceremonials fire plays, a very prominent and sacred part.

There emit forth musical notes, swans, frogs, cranes and ospreys sporting in the lake Pampā. They are not filled with terror in view of human beings, inexperienced as they are in the matter of destruction.

O Rāghava do you fare on those plump birds like to a lump of clarified butter and diverse fishes such as Rohita, Vakratunda+, and Nala. O Rama, the devoted Laksmana, shall offer to you, various other best fishes, devoid of scale and fins, plump, filled with bones, having destroyed them with shafts and roasted them in fire. And after you had feasted on them, Lakşmaņa shall bring you water for drinking on a lotus leaf, smelling like a lotus, coming in contact with flowers, delicious, pleasantly cold, wholesome, void of impurities, transparent like silver and crystal. The Rohi fist-Lat. (cyprinus Rohita Ham). A kind of fish resembling a wheel in appearance. A kind of sprai, according to some, a shrimp or prawn.

There, O Rāghava, the Tilakas and Naktamālakas, crested with flowers and full blown white and red lotuses shall mitigate your sorrows. There live no person who wears garlands of those flowers. Garlands strung with those flowers never wither away, O Rāghava, because the disciples of the great ascetic Matariga lived there with concentrated hearts. Drops of perspiration, falling on the earth from the persons of those ascetics worn out with the burden of the wild fruits collected by them for their spiritual guide, have been transformed by virtue of their asceticism to these garlands. These garlands do never wither, O Rāghava, because of their origination from those drops of perspiration.

Even at the present day, O Kakutstha, there live an immortal mendicant woman, by name Savari, who had waited in attendance upon those departed ones. Beholding you, O Rāma, who are adored of all creatures like to the Deity Himself, that mendicant woman, ever engaged in pious observances, shall attain to the abode of celestials.

O Rāghava, this forest is widely known as Matanga wood. You shall sport, O Rāma, with a delighted heart in that forest resembling the celestial garden-Nandana and filled with various birds.
