Ministers of Ravana, including Mahodara getting
killed/
ಮಹೋದರ ಮುಂತಾದ ರಾವಣನ ಮಂತ್ರಿಗಲ ವಧೆ
Mahodara, one of the Ministers of Ravana, had a
gigantic structure. In fact, some prominent monkey leaders too mistook that
huge Mahodara to be Kumbhakarna. They thought that Kumbhakarna had
reincarnated. Monkeys started running away from the battle when Angada stopped
them and said: “This is not Kumbhakarna but a look-alike statue of Kumbhakarna
to frighten us.” Mahodara powered a rain of arrows to attack Angada, who never
bothered about those arrows. Angada advanced between the advancing arrows, held
Mahodara by his hair, pulled him out of the chariot, trampled the demon and
kicked him repeatedly, whereby Mahodara became a ball of flesh. Seeing the fate
of Mahodara, his fellow Minister Mahaparshwa confronted Angada, which quickly
transformed into a fierce battle. Angada snatched the bow of Mahaparshwa and
broke it. Mahaparshwa wielded a sword, which was again snatched by Angada by
force. Angada pushed Mahaparshwa out of the chariot and with the same sword he
had snatched from the demon Minister, Angada tore the body into pieces.
Virupaksha and Yupaksha, also Ministers of Ravana, saw the end of Mahodara and Mahaparshwa
at the hands of Angada. Both Virupaksha and Yupaksha unleashed an onslaught on
Angada with lethal arrows. Angada was totally masked by the arrows. He was
unable to get out of the cage-like bundle of arrows and he was on the brink of collapsing,
which was noticed by Sugreeva. The Monkey King took a huge rock by hand and
hurled it against Virupaksha and Yupaksha, who were instantly killed.
Ravana, who was watching his Ministers fight and saw
them getting killed by Angada and Sugreeva, shot an arrow at Sugreeva, who lost
consciousness and fell flat on the ground. Like a smokeless fire, Ravana
silently won over the monkeys and ran in the direction where Rama was standing.
However, he was halted by Lakshmana. A serious battle erupted between Ravana
and Lakshmana. Meanwhile, Vibheeshana joined hands with Lakshmana. Ravana
immediately took notice of this adventurous act of Vibheeshana and decided to first
remove him from the battlefield. However, the arrow shot by Ravana against
Vibheeshana was burnt into ashes by the counter arrow fired by Lakshmana.
Ravana was enraged by this and fired a lethal arrow at Lakshmana, which made
him lose consciousness. Ravana was very much pleased with the fighting skills
of Lakshmana. Ravana alighted from the chariot and fired a venomous arrow at
Lakshmana. Lakshmana fell on he ground without consciousness. Ravana tried to
pick up Lakshmana. He could not shake the body of Lakshmana.
