25. Maya Sithai Padalam

Chapter on Sita of illusion.
   (Indrajit is summoned .He plans to conduct a fire sacrifice at Nikumbila.  And them defeat the enemies. He  makes an illusory figure of Sita and kills him before Hanuman and leaves   saying that   he was going to Ayodhya. Rama and others get upset. Vibheeshana taking a form of a bee and visits Asoka Vana. Then he tells Rama about the plan of Indrajit.)

8840. Indrajit , all the  relatives of Ravana  , army commanders   like Mahodhara ,The elderly wise men   ,  those whose   advice was valuable    and could be accepted,And all others  reached   the council hall  and then Ravana clearly told   all those,Who had come to the council hall   all that happened   till then in a clear manner

8841. Malyavan hearing that   looked at Ravana and  told, “”Had you not with great evil thought  ,Not  put our army in the ocean,  there was chance  that all our army   would have been alive,Due to  the Brahmastra  which is of the Lord  who sits on a lotus   and which cannot be taken back  ,Having  gone waste  , no one can prevent    the death of   anyone who is here.”

8842. ”If we examine   using   the knowledge    that we have  got  from ancient books ,That Hanuman   who travelled from Lanka    to   a place   beyond the Meru mountain  ,Within a second   and  has brought   the medicines along with the   mountain,On which they grow  , who has huge shoulders    decorated   by flower garlands ,Should    be   without any confusion    the God to the entire world.”

8843. “If he uproots   this Lanka standing on a  mountain  from the   big ocean,That is surrounding it   and throws it on this land   , who among us can keep ourselves alive ?If Hanuman  does like that    where will we    fight   the war  ?  If that  Hanuman who has gone back,Brings with him the golden mountain of Meru, can we prevent   it  ?”

8844. ”Hanuman  would ,  using his great strength  would   do  whatever    we imagine,If we    act against him without Dharma  but there are no dearth of good qualities in him,Why is it that    the  faultless Vedas   are telling about trinity   of Gods?If we   think  , it is thought  of people   who cannot analyze  ,For the Hanuman who wears the jingling heroic anklets along with trinity  is the fourth God.”

8845. ”Let all those    who died in the war   remain dead but we who remain without dying ,Have gone   to a different height   and we have taken a new birth,WE had forgotten till now about possibility of staying alive, but  at least now  Oh king,WE would   return back Sita as  per procedure   and surrender,To that  Rama and Lakshmana who always   follow the path of Dharma.”

8846. Oh Lord with victorious  shoulders who lifted Lord Shiva  with the   trident ,Along with   the Kailasa  mountain  ,  can Rama who has   sent   to heaven Vali  ,Using just one arrow  , Who built a    bridge over the sea   filled with water ,And who killed  Kumbhakarna  , be destroyed like bubbles   by  the mortal asuras?

8847. ”All those   Rakshasas     who were capable of drinking    the entire   water,Of all the oceans  , who could uproot the   sky together   with earth  ,And who   had several weapons  that can be thrown   are no longer  alive?In this city of Lanka , except you and your boy Indrajit who else  is there?All others have died and so our possibility  of victory   is an empty dream ,”Said  Malyavan who could guess  the future  of things to come.

8848. Hearing those   firm words of Malyavan, emitting fire sparks from his   eye,Due to great anger  , Ravana looked at Malyavan with great rage and said,“Even if all the Rakshasas have died   and even if  all our weapons have been destroyed,Do you think , I caught the parrot like   Sita , just to release her thinking of my life?”

8849. ” Be it my son  or be it others   who   are all scared   and want  to  continue to live,Please go away and live, Tomorrow  Rising like the  cruel  Vadavagni   , which appears,During final deluge  I would kill those men along     with the monkey Hanuman   ,Who have destroyed my army  “ Said  the king of Rakshasas ,Who had   evil capabilities   and hearing that Indrajit started   talking.

8850. ”If you are  prepared   to understand  , I have a matter   to tell you  .I had sent  the   arrow of Lord Brahma   who sits   on the  lotus flower  ,After  worshipping it  and that   became extremely powerful.Though  I had sent   to kill Rama also  , without of any use ,Without even touching his body it returned. This is  very strange  .”

8851. ”Oh king who wears flower garland from which honey drips  , it is clear,That   Rama is not a man  and he also does not  belong to ancient monkey clan,He is not a    very great sage  and he  is the  matchless    divine entity  ,Who does not think of himself  or his ego  as told  by Vibheeshana,This   has   been proved   to us   without any doubt.”

8852. ”Let that   truth remain on one side   and hesitating    to tell such truth ,Is not  a  fit to  great masculinity , Let    us fight and people  who die , let them die,If  Iam able   to    reach   the temple  at Nikumbila   and start   and complete  ,The fire sacrifice   aimed    at ending all our sorrow  ,  your sorrow will end.”

8853. ’Ravana   said, That is indeed good  , You do the fire sacrifice at  Nikumbila”,And hearing that   his good son Indrajit   told,  “Hearing    from your younger  brother  ,About this secret  , our enemies   would reach Nikumbila   and  may do  war with me , And would not allow   me to complete    the fire  sacrifice  “ but Ravana asked,”How can we  definitely  prevent    our enemies    from doing that.”

8854. ”If we create   the form of   Sita by illusion   and go before  Hanuman,Who  has    seen that   Sita in the past   and kill her by cutting   with the sword,And then say  , now I am going  to fight    with  Ayodhya   and act as if he is going  ,In that direction , without knowing  he  will start     sorrowing.”

8855. Rama and Lakshmana  would say . “Sita has been killed    here  and there  isNo point in fighting the war here. And due to Indrajit  our  brothers,Mothers  , neat  relations as well the citizens of the town  would die.”And   would drown themselves   in great sorrow  and due  to such ,Sorrow    growing , They along   with their   army would go there.”

8856. “ Even if   they do not go to Ayodhya  , they would at least   send,Hanuman there and  try to know   what  happened there  ,Otherwise they would not be able     to bear this great sorrow and I ,Meanwhile would complete the    fire sacrifice   come speedily here  ,And kill   them with cruel weapons   and give you victory.”

8857. Ravana  said ,”this idea is good and for forming   the form of Sita   with  soft wards,By illusion” and  Indrajit went away  and while    this was happening  , Sugreeva,The son of Sun God told Rama  “We would speedily    burn this ancient city  of Lanka.”

8858. Rama thought  “ Doing that job is good,.”   And agreed   to do it  ,And then Sugreeva jumped    and reached the top of the   tower   of Lanka  .And seventy vellam    ocean like   monkey army  followed him  ,And with all the worlds seeing  , each of them took one  burning fire wood.

8859. That Seventy   Vellam strong    army of that   countless   crores ,Of monkeys   through   the pretty guarded   walls   of Lanka ,Entered  like  the lightning and   white coloured   clouds ,And   went very near   that    ancient  city of Lanka making it shy.

8860. , That faultless   vellam of   that  monkey army   carried  ,Burning firewood   to all directions   and to prove  that,That  city also can be destroyed threw   those ,Burning   firewood   which looked like    the fall of stars on the sky.

8861. With the security of the huge fort   becoming  confused,Due to the red  burning flame of fire      going near it,Lanka looked like the black sea   when Rama ,Attacked it with his long arrows making it burn.

8862. The Elephant like   burning fire wood    that were thrown,By monkeys   on Lanka where   the evil Rakshasa lived,Kept on going there   like the red burning,Arrows that   were sent  by the black Rama when he became angry.

8863. All the asuras   of   city of Lanka    rose up greatly wailing,Like when  the  ancient   forest with dense   stones  ,Caught   fire and the   birds which were  living  there ,In dense formations rose up from their cages greatly  wailing.

8864. Due to  Rama  who is  the great archer   who was  liked,By the beings of the three worlds and trinity of Gods,Sending   arrows    which were like lamps ,The tower of Lanka   broke and fell on a hill.

8865.When things were happening   like this   in Lanka , the tall Hanuman,Carried the huge medicine mountain in his hand.Went  with the speed of wind and placed  it,Beyond  the Meru mountain and returned   back.

8866. That Hanuman who was wearing the jingling heroic anklets,Shouted loudly with great joy  and  that town which heard it,Became similar   to the crowd   of serpents ,Which heard   the shout off Garuda   with   wings.

8867. That  Indrajit  who had great strength  in making   illusions,Which cannot be changed and who had won   even the  God of death ,And conducted march  of victory came near  that son of Wind God ,Who had cruel eyes and who had reached   the western gate.

8868. Indrajit  holding a  lady who looked  like Sita   made by illusion ,In one hand and holding a shining meat coated    sword  ,In his another hand  with great  anger  wanting to  fulfill,His intention started    telling    the following words.

8869. ”You have been fighting the war  because of this lady,Now my father   says he does not want her and,So I am going to kill her “said he    ferociously ,And Hanuman  who never dies  was greatly scared.

8870. Then Hanuman realized that  she was the same lady,Whom he has    earlier seen in Asoka     forest  ,He became very dejected   thinking , “Our life has been destroyed”,And not knowing any method to  free her from hands  of Indrajit,Became  like one who is suspected to be dead  by others and his mouth dried.

8871. Thinking that “There  is nothing more to be done”   and  .“What  justice says  is  only right option  ” Hanuman said  ,Io Indrajit ”Born in a faultless  clan  , you    are great  in good nature,Is not killing a lady   which is  an act   which would bring bad fame   to you.”

8872. ”You are born in the fourth generation    to Lord Brahma  ,You have clearly understood  all the great  ideas   in books,Is not  the act  of killing a lady  , after losing your   wisdom,The greatest    among all the bad deeds   one can commit.”

8873. ”The earth is shaking  , the   heavens   are shivering   and  you are ,Seeing them all with your own eyes.You have left  away the culture  of mercy,And  my thoughts are also shivering  , Is not the killing of Lady,That which   brings   very bad  name to  you?”

8874. ”If you give Sita to me   and go away   the entire   world,Would be under your control  .You are not realizing  ,The greatness   of your clan  ,Please do not start this sinful act  .If you do   it would lead    to destruction of your fame  .”

8875. ”I would kill her   with my sword so that   my  father  as well as ,Those who live  in my city get a good  life   and also  to scare  the Devas,So that they run away  “ said  Indrajit  with great anger   and also further told.

8876. ”Hey monkey  , do you  think my work   would be over by  just killing her,If it  is possible for    you go and reach   Ayodhya   because  ,That city is going to burn in fire   today ,I would do that,And immediately    return   back to this place  .”

8877. ”The brothers and mothers   and other relations of Rama  ,Would not be alive now  , even if Devas   come  and try to stop,For they would all be dead   by the  fire spitting   arrows of  mine.”

8878. ”I am going    to enter   this Pushpaka   Vimana   and,Would now itself    go there  with great speed  and if ,My countless hot arrows    are   going to hit  them,Would it be possible for any of them to be alive?”

8879. Inspite  of the wail of Sita, “Oh king   who rules over me,Take mercy on me, show mercy on me  “   he did not show any mercy  ,And cut and made her fall   with his sword   and with his army,Which was sounding like the roar of the ocean  ,He got    in to the Pushpaka Vimana   and flew.

8880. Indrajit riding   the Pushpaka Vimana, which was ,Shining like gold went from the south to northern direction,And seeing that Hanuman  lost all  all his senses .,And fell  like a  tall mountain   which was defeated by him.

8881. Showing that he    was going to Ayodhya , Indrajit  ,Changed   his route in the middle   and  entered the  temple of Nikumbila,The pure Hanuman who did not realize  the evil cheating ,Fell down , his heart became weak  , his body dried  ,And wanting  to tell what he had in mind, he  told  like this.

8882. That Hanuman who lost his prowess told  , “Oh swan like    lady,Oh Lady who is the ornament of all ladies, Oh my mother,Is there   no God anywhere   to stop   this evil,And even after  seeing you cut   in to pieces,My heart  and body has   not split open.”

8883. He  woul think, “shall I get up and jump on that Indrajit?”Thinking that   he had been pushed in to   great sorrow  ,He would leave out hot breath  and his face   would blot up.After getting away from that state , he   would become greatly weak  ,And breath flames of fire , his body would shiver  , he would rub,The earth by his own head   and  he started  telling these type of words.

8884. ”Our  desire is over.  Thinking that dawn would come to all the three   worlds,I was   relaxing  and now again  the sorrow of darkness   has covered    every where .That sinner Indrajit has cut Sita    who is  the incarnation of Goddess  Lakshmi,Dharma has been destroyed., Alas.”

8885. ”That lady who was greatly guarded   by her own chastity  , was killed,In front of my eyes and I like a bird who had lost   its wings  ,Simply kept quiet   and am now    drowned   in the  prison of sorrow  ,After releasing the  consort of  Lord Rama from the  prison, What a pretty sight.”

8886. ”Oh  son of the evil one  who touched  , abducted and   kept in prison,She who has divine chastity and was doing penance  , She   who was innocent  ,She who was faultless   and was born in a    great clan, Sita,  the incarnation of Lakshmi,Your act was more merciful than mine   when I witnessed you  kill her  .”

8887. ”I had come here   as an emissary of Rama   whose fame   was beyond,The wisdom  of learning  to tell you the words he told   so that you can be saved,And now I have come here   to win over   these Rakshasas   who have  come as a crowd.I had come free you earlier and  now I have been the cause   of your death  ,And have   earned for  myself   an evil and bad   fame.”

8888. “Without  bring able to see   any where   that  Sita who was   like a Vanchi climber  ,When Rama  the great archer  was searching for like his lost soul , to make his mind clear,I  told him, “Sita with pretty speech   was in Lanka.”, which made him happy  ,And  now I have to tell him  that ”I saw   that Rakshasa Indrajit  kill   Sita ,And she died”, The purpose of my birth   has become like this.

8889. ”After crossing the very difficult to    cross ocean , after setting,Fire to this city  , after helping to build   a bridge over the ocean  ,After crossing the Meru mountain   and bringing the matchless  ,Mountain of medicine   and after  hearing others   say about me,“Among the monkeys there  is no body like you and now  ,My slavishness   has become useless , like a seed rubbed  and mixed in the sea.”

8890. ”I  showed hesitation in killing the Rakshasa   who killed you  ,And witnessed your being killed  ,Without being prepared   ,for,My body break and my  tiny  soul  go out of it  and for being  still alive,So that   I can eat the white rice  from this pot,  I simply  kept  quiet,Am  I really a weakling   or one   who is matchless?”

8891. Hanuman said “I will rise towards Ayodhya “  thinking that  ,There is indication that that the thief has gone there  and then though,“If I follow him  Rama may not realize   what  happened here  ,And may not also know what is going to happen “Saddened by this thought   he regained   his composure  .

8892. ”I would tell this to Rama   and if  he gives up his life  ,I would also die along with that Lord   , if not  then, after ,Understanding his opinion  , I would axt   as he tells me .I would  not  do any other thing”  Thinking like this ,After regaining   his courage   that Hanuman with huge,Golden shoulders   went in search of divine feet of  Rama.

8893. Hanuman who neared   the divine feet wearing  heroic anklet  of Rama, With mind,  body as well as eyes   shivering   due to great sorrow  ,The cry  that was ebbing out of his  mind    came out as long breaths  ,And with tears coming  out of his eyes  like stream, he  fell like a mountain at his feet.

8894. That Rama lifted  Hanuman who had fallen at his feet   by  catching,His two big hands  , he  refusing to   get up   said  ,  “That Rakshasa  Indrajit  ,Using his sharp sword  had  cut off Sita   who was in  great and deep sorrow”And saying this , he rolled on the ground and wailed.

8895.  Hearing that  Rama did  not  shiver  , did not  let out long breath,Did not  close his eyes  , Did  not shed tears    from those eyes  ,Did not talk anything , his heart  did not break  , due to great sorrow,Did  not produce sweat and  even Devas could not  ,Understand   the deep    sorrow  that   was within him.

8896. As soon as Hanuman told  this, with a  confused mind  ,With great depression ,Just like trees   lashed by heavy storm like    wind , all the monkeys fell on ,The divine feet of Rama  who was   wearing heroic anklets,And   who was having a charitable nature   like divine Karpaga tree . Similar to a crowd    of mountains    falling at his feet.

8897. That valorous  Rama   who was like picture had lost all    sensationsDid not see at the faces of his friends  , did not  reply to questions of Lakshmana ,Due to the  weapon of  sense   of honour  which even hurts mad people ,Entering   his   heart    fell  like a dead   person on the earth,

8898. Seeing the   state of  the lord, seeing the shape   befalling on them,The  events that had succeeded  reaching again the state  of  failure  ,With mouth  , mind    eyes as well   as   body becoming faded,Lakshmana like a calf which has lost  his mother cow  fell on the floor.

8899. Vibheeshana who was wise  and could understand the  nature of people  ,Due to the great pressure   of  matchless  sorrow was not able to understand  anything ,Got a suspicion   that  Thinking   ‘Victory is difficult   and destruction   came because of her “,Indrajit might have murdered  Sita  “

8900. Vibheeshana   sprinkled    cold water    on  the face of   Rama , touched,The divine body of the Lord   and did similar   acts  to bring back,His consciousness  and then we caressed    his pretty flower like   feet  ,Hands as  well as the body  , Rama   whose innate generosity,Cannot be even seen by the Vedas  , opened    both his eyes.

8901. Lakshmana   shedding stream like tears  , with a dilapidated  mind  ,Thinking about what happened to him   was sorrowing inconsolably  ,But in spite   of that  thinking that  Rama would not kill  his enemies  ,And due to feelings   of respectability  give up his  life  ,Wanting to console him     told    the following.

8902. ”Only low people drown in    the ocean of sorrow  if   his day  of death arrives,And  for you    drowning in sorrow   would only  bring only  bad name  ,If our   clan   gets  a great stain  , without   bothering about Dharma  ,Would you not destroy this world    which was    witnessing it  ,Instead   of   getting depressed   like people  of no strength.?”

8903. ”If that evil one   has killed   a weak lady  , who is doing penance ,Who is like the goddess  of Dharma of chastity   and your wife by touching her,Is your act of not destroying Dharma along with the entire clan of Rakshasas,Is it because you want to live   or due    to  your mercy?Is  it possible for us  to maintain good relation with Dharma  ?”

8904. “If those who  destroy dharma   are going to be great   and  those who   follow   Dharma,Are going   to be destroyed ,  then without bothering   whether   they are  ,Asuras, Devas  , Brahmins  ,teachers   , sages   and  principles of Vedas ,We should  set fire    to all the three   worlds. ,Without doing    that   what is the use   of our   sorrowing about it?”

8905. ” After   that Rakshasa killed Sita, still should we allow   , the seven worlds,To function with normalcy ? Should the Devas  be allowed to continue to live?Should we imagine that  there is something called Dharma   and keep on saluting it?,Should we allow  cloud  to cause rain? Should we keep on watching all this,Fall down dispirited   and crying ? Our  capacity    to fight with bow seems to be great?”

8906. ”Instead of  within a second, after powdering   and destroying   this Lanka  ,After burning the way by which that   Rakshasa proceeded, after destroying,All the worlds   of Devas,  if we  keep crying   holding our  hanging  head   by our hands ,And continue   always to be sad   would not others   think poorly of us ?”

8907. ”Even     though we lost   our kingdom   and reached the forest  ,Even after    that evil  one abducted    the lady   we    lived ,Without  crossing   the limits    set by Dharma  and if   we continue   to do so,Even after this   great sorrow has   befallen us  , seeing our simplicity,Would not our enemies chain us in a strong tether  and make us their slaves?”

8908. ”If we give up our life now  , the world will say   about  us that  ,“When   that lady  with a scented hair was brought   before them,And was killed   by the sword of The Rakshasas, having  no  strength  ,To kill them  , they   died due to existence  of  great shame”,And   examining with balance   such type of suffering is  improper for us,And  so why should you sorrow   like an ignorant   person?”

8909. Sugreeva    who  was lying  low , hearing such words  of Lakshmana ,Suddenly  got up as if he has seen a dream  and said,  “what is the need for  further analysis?,Come let us jump on the chest of Ravana who is like an insect falling  in the flame  .”

8910. ”Let us uproot   the city of Lanka    and  annihilate   the Rakshasas,With evil eyes   , along with their   wives wearing golden ear globes  ,Their children who are drinking milk   along    with their   complete   clan,And if the Devas   get angry at us and prevent  us  ,Then let us    destroy the land of Devas   and make it fall on this earth.”

8911. ”If we take a bold decision that    we would act   destroying Dharma  ,Then sir,   what   is the need for this  sorrowing  ? Within a short time  ,Let us   spin the three worlds like a kite   and throw away   the clan of Devas “Saying like this, the valorous Sugreeva   who had diamond like shoulders,Made  preparations to jump   on the    city of Lanka.

8912. Even before their king   all  the monkey warriors   saying ,“We will pick up   the Rakshasas  along with their homes  and dash and kill them”,And started  moving   and when they did like that  Hanuman  ,Wanting to tell them all one thing  , told them about how,That evil Indrajit  had a cruel idea   of marching towards Ayodhya.

8913. ,AS soon as the word  that Indrajit   has gone towards Ayodhya  ,Where his brothers   and mothers   were observing penance  ,Entered the ears of Rama  , just the pain of   beating  ,Getting masked   by pain of burning  , he got rid  of sorrow  over slaying of Sita,

8914. Just like waking up from sleep on the deep   sea   of milk  , Rama  ,Got away from the ocean of sorrow   along  with  anger  ,Which was like unquenchable fire   and with   a shivering mind     Even before time  taken for a black gram to roll  ,Speedily    acted   with great  mental churning.

8915. ”This evil  does not seem   to get over  with the  killing of Sita,And it  is seems to completely annihilate our    entire   clan  ,I do not know to whom else it is going to  spread.Is there   any method to prevent it ? Are my brothers still alive ?”

8916. That Indrajit who has gone there    in Pushpaka Vimana  ,Which can travel faster   than thought  , is capable  of completing his job,Within a second   and return back  ,Due to my very bad fate  ,My home is destroyed there  and here   my wife   has been killed  ,I do not know how many more  such sorrows are going to follow me  ?And I am not able    to see  death coming     for me.”

8917. The bad fate  of mine only     after  causing   death of my father  ,,The father like Jatayu   and   Sita who was alone is going   to further spread,And cause   the death to my innocent mother who gave  birth to me  ,My innocent brothers     who love me , to my city  and Kosala country,”

8918. ”They who  are not aware of happenings here  , if attacked   suddenly by Indrajit  ,Would be destroyed. Even if they fight with him  with anger considering him   as an enemy     That Indrajit would send  cruel  Naga  Pasa at them  and would kill them  ,And Garuda   who is the enemy   of serpents would  not   go there  ,And Hanuman to give them by bringing medicine  mountain is also not   there,And so there  is no  one to help them  stay  alive.”

8919. “Oh Vibheeshana who has diamond like strong shoulders   , please tell me,If there is some method   to reach Ayodhya through the Maaga    sky   route .Let whatever  is remaining get  destroyed , let the war of  Lanka  also get  stooped,After the crow eats   the eyes of Indrajit , I would    come here and complete   them.”

8920. Lakshmana said , “Sir ,  Not only that  Indrajit     who has gone   there  to tie,Bharata   by sending   the Naga Pasa , but even if all   the three worlds  ,Were  to march and stand as enemies    to him  , they would all be destroyed  by him,So do not swim   in this    cruel ocean   of sorrow.”

8921. ”Bharata   is not me   to fall dying   if that  Indrajit full  of evil,Sends   his Naga Pasa   as soon as it touches   him    and you yourselves ,Are going to see    that Indrajit killed struck by arrows of Bharata ,Along with his clan and fall on the ground” Said Lakshmana  who was agitated.

8922. At That   time Hanuman who was standing there   requested them ,“oh Lord  , either climb on my shoulders  or my palms   and making  ,The speed of wind much less   I would reach the ancient city  of Ayodhya,And if there  is a need I would take you to all   the   directions,And  if you wish  I would myself kill   that   enemy.”

8923. ,”I advised Indrajit    who came   here   to kill Sita  and pointed out ,All aspects of Dharma , I also told   him soft words  and   when,He did not bother about them and  killed   Lady  Sita ,Due to sorrow   winning over me , I fell on the floor  ,And lost conscience   and  That Indrajit speedily went way,Had I not been like that , would that evil one    be still alive.”

8924. ”I would travel in the same  route that   the Pushpaka  Vimana   has travelled  ,With more speed than thought   and make   that Vimana behind me  ,And we want stand there  waiting it  . Oh Lords wearing Thulasi garland  ,Why waste   few more seconds, please  climb on my shoulders ,So that   we would reach Ayodhya   even before Pushpaka Vimana .”

8925. When Hanuman rose   up requesting  , “Please   climb  “, Vibheeshana saluted Rama,And said, “I have to tell you some thing . Due to great   sorrow affecting you  ,I stood completely sorrowing and greatly confused as it was difficult to get  consoled,But  now  I have come out of that  sorrow ,I have   doubt that  act of Indrajit is an illusion.”

8926. “Had the very chaste   Sita been touched   and then killed by Indrajit,Even while he was doing it , all the three  world would have  got burnt and turned  in to  ash,And even if that   incident has happened, the news    that  ,He has gone towards   Ayodhya   is greatly surprising and truth will  be known soon.”

8927. ”Within a second  I would go and reach the place  Where Sita is there ,And after   clearly examining  , understanding what    really   happened,And will tell you   and afterwards    you can decide as to What is  to be done”Said Vibheeshana   and Rama said, “It is proper” and Vibheeshana,Went to Asoka   Vana    through   the sky  .

8928. Assuming the   form of a bee , going  with the speed  of mind of Rama ,He reached  the place of Sita in   Asoka Vana   , he saw Sita, with his own eyes,Who was  like a picture  about which  one can doubt whether  it was alive  .

8929. She who had decided that   her sorrow would   go only with her life,Had decided   to  die   but  had left   her sorrow  due to  the words of Trijata ,Who can    talk  in a perfect manner     and   console the  mind .And when the monkeys   shouted like   clouds   at the end of deluge  ,She felt it was  like nectar   to her  and kept her   great soul.

8930. Understanding that the  killing of Sita   was a sight created by illusion ,With a very happy mind , leaving out     the worries in his mind ,Came to know that  Indrajit who  acted as if going   to Ayodhya ,Had gone to Nikumbila  and doing    fire sacrifice   there  ,By watching    the Rakshasa army in great number going there.

8931. He also saw   the Devas getting upset   seeing the   firewood  , ghee ,And   other  materials   being transported   feeling that   it would  ,Make them  lead an inferior  life  , decided that   this   was the trick,Intended to be done by Indrajit   and went  ,And saluted   the lotus   like feet of Rama  by   falling  at his feet.

8932. He said  “That   goddess like lady was there   and I saw her with my eyes,How can Sita     who has chastity   Like Arundathi face   destruction ?Indrajit has created an illusion  which saddened   us ,He has   entered the temple of Nikumbila   , so that he  can,Conduct a fire ritual there   and then completely   destroy us all.”

8933. As soon as Vibheeshana   told , The crowd of monkeys  shouted  together,Making the devas   have a doubt that    the seven seas surrounding,The seven    great islands  were  making sound together   and ,They also danced  and jumped  making   even the  mountains break
