Oh Paaduka! You having Yourself achieved, even at the very moment of

Your coronation, being

seated on the auspicious Simhasana throne, the complete annihilation

of that Rakshasa, Ravana,

whose 'might of the arm' could be imagined from his inability to

contain muscle-fat-strength

unless he grinds to Karpoora-like powder the silvery Kailasa mountain

in the heat of

hand-pulverizing in a fierce temper.

 

The arrows of Rama were but mere pretexts in the matter of the

killing

of Ravana.

 

Namo Narayana,
