## The Nineteenth Chapter

**415** Just as someone strikes the head of a deluded person with a hammer, so too was he being struck on the head by a falling meteorite. **55** Seeing him playing, Sri Saila, adorned with the banner of the monkey, approached with eyes red with anger. **56** Seeing Varuna approaching Sri Saila, the king of the Rakshasas, ran and blocked him like a mountain blocking the flow of a river. **57** The battle between Varuna and the Rakshasas raged, filled with horses, elephants, foot soldiers, and a multitude of weapons. **58** Meanwhile, the son of the wind, Hanuman, had bound a hundred of Varuna's sons. They were exhausted from the long battle, and their army was decimated. **59** Hearing that his hundred sons were bound, Varuna was overwhelmed with grief. He forgot his knowledge and his strength faltered. **60** Seizing this opportunity, the master of battle, Ravana, pierced through Varuna's knowledge called "Yogini" and captured him alive. **61** At that time, Ravana acted as Rahu to the moon, Varuna, whose radiance was lost due to the loss of his sons and who was devoid of his rising. **62** Varuna, who was trapped in a cage of weapons, his pride broken, was entrusted to the care of Kumbhakarna, who looked at him with wonder. **63** After that, Ravana, relieved of his worries, gave his army rest. He stayed in the excellent garden called "Bhavanonmad". **64** The weariness of his army, which had taken shelter under the shade of trees, was dispelled by the cool breeze from the sea. **65** Knowing that their leader was captured, the entire army of Varuna, filled with fear and anxiety, entered the city of Poundarika. **66** Although they were the same army and the same great warriors, they became useless without their leader. **67** Oh, look at the greatness of punya! When a virtuous person is born, many others rise with him, and when he falls, many others fall with him. **68**
