## Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen
Then, if you have anger towards me, O God, then what has this ambrosia-like food spoiled here? ||14||
This, O Lakshmi-Dhar, is your favorite, the best wine. Drink this, placed in a cup adorned with blooming lotuses. ||15||
Saying this, he placed it in his mouth with great respect. How could that beautiful wine enter there, in the unconscious mouth? ||16||
Thus, with a heart filled with affection and devoid of detachment, Rama performed all these actions as if Lakshmana were alive. ||17||
Although Lakshmana was lifeless, Rama played beautiful music for him, accompanied by the sounds of the vina, flute, etc. ||18||
Then, with great desire, he lifted Lakshmana, whose body was anointed with sandalwood, with both arms, placed him in his lap, and kissed his forehead, cheek, and hand repeatedly. ||19||
He said to him, "O Lakshmana, what has happened to you that you do not leave sleep? Tell me once." ||20||
Thus, while Rama, afflicted by the demon of affection, was engaged in this activity, the rise of the karma, born of great delusion and attachment, arrived. ||21||
Knowing this news, the enemies, like dark clouds roaring to cover the sun, the ultimate brilliance, were filled with anger. ||22||
With a heart filled with animosity and great anger, the enemies, led by Charuratna, the son of Sunda, the brother of Shambuka, went to Vanamali, the son of Indrajit. ||23||
Charuratna, inciting him, said, "Lakshmana, having killed our uncle and both of us, has established Viradhit on the throne of the Patal Lanka kingdom." ||24||
Then, having found Sugriva, the moon-like and brotherly benefactor, to gladden the army of the Vanaras, Rama, afflicted by separation, received news of his wife Sita. ||25||
Then, desiring to conquer Lanka, Rama, with the Vidyadharas, crossed the ocean in aerial chariots. ||26||
