PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL

shower of arrows. Shri Rama was Baladeva technically and he possessed such strength.
THE STRENGTH OF VASUDEVA Vasudeva possesses double the strength of Baladeva and Prativasudeva is little weaker than Vasudeva. Laxmana was “Vasudeva. Ravana turned him unconscious with the use of some mystical charm. Rama grew nervous and commanded Hanumanji to secure “Vishalya". This Vishalya could remove unconsciousness and cure the incurable disease. Vishalya was brought there over and Laxmana regained consciousness. Joy prevailed upon Rama's army, which then fought with enhanced valour. Kumbhakarna and many other chiefs of Ravana's army were mere captives. Only Ravana who was fully engaged in accomplishing the lore called "Bahu-Rupini" (lore which can make one assume various forms). It is difficult to accomplish this lore but once achieved can make one assume any form one desires to assume. Ravana took his seat underground and Mandodari proclaimed in the city “No one should commit any act of violence". Ang and other chiefs of Rama learned about this proclamation and with an intent to create obstacle in the path of Ravana they approached Rama for his consent. Rama was very prudent and generous. He instructed them not to do so. Moreover, he told them not to disturb any soul who with Solemn mind is engaged in meditation. But Angada and others having apprehended Ravana's accomplishment of the said lore and consequent destruction of all with establishment of his supremacy, with full devotion and love for Rama violated Rama's wishes and started putting obstacles in the path of Ravana's achievement. But Ravana, who did not swerve from his concentration when gods and goddesses created numerous obstacles while he was out to achieve thousand lores, did not swerve when disturbed by these people.
Mandodari all the while sat by the side of Ravana. Angada and others any how entered the underground premises, caught hold of Mandodari with hair and kept her standing before Ravana. How can Prativasudeva tolerate such humiliation when his wife is treated in such an insulting manner, but Ravana did not lose his concentration and mental equilibrium. Just then Ravana achieved the lore “Bahu Rupini” and when Angada and others learnt of his achievement, they eloped instantaneously.
