It has been said in the Papouraana that even one Mlechchha is too much, but now you three are so weak that you are not even enough for one Mlechchha. ||297-298|| O Dashagreva, Vibhishana was praising you in vain, because you are not even able to protect your own mother. Then I understand that you do not have even one head. ||299|| You have been devoid of any sense of honour for as long as you have been in my womb and have come out. It would have been better if I had carried even excrement for that long. ||300|| It seems that this Bhanukarna is also devoid of ears, because I am shouting and he is not listening to my sorrowful words. Look, how he has become motionless. ||301|| This Vibhishana is also carrying this name Vibhishana in vain, and he has become so inactive like a corpse that he is not even able to defeat one Mlechchha. ||302|| Look, these Mlechchhas are making my sister Chandranakha irreligious, why don't you show any compassion towards her? A brother's love for his sister is greater than that of parents, but where is your concern for this? ||303|| O sons! Vidya is attained for the prosperity of one's own people, so parents are superior to those people, and a sister is superior to parents. This is the eternal order. ||304|| Just as trees are burnt to ashes by the sight of a venomous snake, so too can these Mlechchhas be burnt to ashes by the mere movement of your eyebrows. ||305|| I carried you all in my womb out of a desire for happiness, because sons are those who carry their parents like a palanquin - they protect them. ||306|| Even after doing all this, when their attention did not waver, those gods started doing a very terrible work of illusion. ||307|| They cut off the heads of their parents in front of them with the edge of a sword, and they cut off the heads of Ravana's other two brothers in front of Ravana. ||308|| Similarly, they cut off Ravana's head in front of those two brothers. Due to this act, Vibhishana and Bhanukarna became slightly agitated in their meditation due to anger. ||309|| But Dashagreva, holding onto the purity of his emotions, remained steady like Mount Meru. He was mighty and steadfast in his faith. ||310|| He restrained the movement of his senses within himself, and made his mind, which was as fickle as lightning, obedient like a servant. 1.
