"Bhamandal!
Towards Ayodhya
Are Lav and Kush safe?" Sita said turning
towards Bhamandal.
"Lav and Kush are carrying out a dance of destruction. They are decimating Ram's army. They have created a tremendous commotion in Ram's army. Like veritable gods of war, they are destroying enemy soldiers."
"Does Shri Ram know who they are ?"
"No, sister! No. We should not tell him who they are. Their heroism itself will reveal their identity to Shri Ram. We need not reveal it to him" Sugriv said in a dignified voice.
"But if Lakshman...."
343
"Revered Queen! Lakshman is with Shri Ram. Do not worry about anything. Everything will be all right." Sugriv said consoling Sita.
Then Sugriv, Vibhishan and Bhamandal became silent spectators of the war. They stood stupefied by the heroism and abilities of Lav and Kush.

A mortal dread filled the hearts of Shri Ram's soldiers. They felt helpless against the two princes. They began to run helterskelter. The chariots of Lav and Kush went speeding towards Shri Ram and Lakshman.
