Regiments of rAvaNA

 

If one presumes that the array of rAvaNA's army consists of demons and

magical powers, they are mistaken.

 

The army was organised like mentioned in our history books.

 

It boasted of the huge elephant regiments walking like mountains

followed by horses and the chariots ensued these.

 

As if not enough the army followed all these groups.

 

The emphasis is on the wealth of the army consisting of different type

of strengths.Sri rAmA vanquished them with great valour.

 

This is explained by thirumangai mannan
