HANUMAN'S ARMY by Yakub Chitrakar

 

Rama heard the news from a bird and became

sad and sat under a tree. His parents are home in their country and his wife has been stolen.

Rama laments and his brother Lakshman is with him.

 

The monkeys in Hanuman's army brought stones

and trees and made a bridge.

 

Sugriva said, "What are you waiting for? We can

start a war."

 

Ravana said, " I am only afraid of one person,

the one who burnt my Lanka. I am worried that he will come again. Ravana was thinking

about this when Angada came. The gatekeeper didn't let him in but Angada

broke the door. Ravana was sitting on a high seat. Seeing this, Angada had an idea. He
curled his tail and sat on it [so he could be higher] and said to Indrajit, Ravana's son,

"Listen, there are so many Ravanas, are they all your father? You brought Sita here

through trickery, now how will you be able to keep your kingdom of Lanka? "Talking

like this he slapped Ravana and took his crown.

 

He took the crown to Rama

 

Rama and Ravana fought a war in Lanka. Ravana

shot 100 arrows. They shot arrows at each other. Then Rama recited a mantra and his

arrow became two arrows. Ravana lies down in pain and Brahma, Shiva, and the
other gods are in the sky. Ravana had one lakh of sons and thousands of grandchildren

and no one was left alive to carry on the family.
