Description
Myriads of great warriors of Meghanada's might arose with joy and swooped down; but the monkey's foot did not budge, and they hung their heads and sat down again. The monkey's foot would no more leave the ground than the soul of a saint would give up moral uprightness even though confronted with numberless obstacles. The enemy's pride left him when he witnessed this.
