Kishkindha Kaanda
136 - Sri Rama's show of displeasure towards Sugriva and Laksmana's wrath
Chaupais
Description
"The rains are over and the autumn, which is marked by a cloudless sky and limpid waters, has arrived; yet, dear brother, we have received no news about Sita. If only once I could anyhow come to know of her whereabouts I would recover her out of the hands of Death himself. Wherever she may be, if only she is still alive I would make an effort to rescue her, dear brother. Sugriva too has forgotten me now that he has got a kingdom, a treasury, the amenities of city life and his own spouse. I will shoot the fool tomorrow with the same arrow which I used in killing Vali." (Says Sankara) He whose very grace rids one of pride and infatuation, could He ever dream of being angry, Uma ? Those enlightened sages alone who have conceived a love for the feet of Sri Rama (the Hero of Raghu's race) can know the inwardness of this conduct of His. When Laksmana found the Lord angry, he strung his bow and took arrows in his hands.
