The Fifteenth Hundred Chapter
Then, after leaving the seat, the gods and demons, bowing to Indra, went to their respective places, carrying the intense emotions. ||1||
Two of the gods, driven by curiosity, decided to test the love of Padmanarayana, being lovers of play and united by mutual love. They said, "Let us see the affection of these two." ||2-3||
He who cannot bear even a day's absence, what will that Hari do upon hearing the news of his elder brother's death? Seeing the grief-stricken Narayana, let us make fun for a moment. Let us go to the city of Kosala. ||4-5||
What will be the face of Vishnu, overwhelmed with grief? At whom will he be angry? Where will he go? What will he say? ||6||
Having made this plan, the two wicked gods, Ratnachula and Mrigachula by name, went to the city of Ayodhya. ||7||
They caused the sound of weeping of all the women of the inner palace by divine magic in Padmabhavana, and made the gatekeepers, friends, ministers, priests, and other men in front, go to Lakshmana with downcast faces and announce the death of Rama. They said, "O Lord! Rama is dead." Hearing this, the eyes of Lakshmana, trembling with a soft breeze, became like the petals of a blue lotus. ||8-10||
"Alas, what has happened?" He had uttered half of this word when his mind became empty and he shed tears. ||11||
As if struck by lightning, he leaned against a golden pillar and sat on the throne, motionless like a clay doll. ||12||
His eyes were not closed, yet his body remained motionless. He was then assuming the form of a living man whose mind was elsewhere. ||13||
Seeing Lakshmana, who was struck by the fire of his brother's death, lifeless, the two gods were greatly distressed. ||14||
