Raakshasa samhaaram

Hearing Soorpanakhas wailing,Khara sent fourteen of his warriors to fight Rama.Soorpanakha went along with them and showed them.Sreerama also saw them.He told Lakshmana to protect Seetha while he fought the demons.He told the demons that they were sages.They were living there eating fruits and tubers.He requested them not to trouble them as they were righteous persons.He was awaiting there toassassinate the demons who  troubled Sages.If they were interested in their lives,they should immediately leave that place.

The demons came to attack Rama.They said the person who brought anger to Khara should not live in this world.He was alone while they were many.So they are sure to kill him.They used spears to attack Rama but he retaliated them with his archery.All of the were killed by Ramas arrows.Soorpanakha went to Khara weeping.Khara admonished her for her weeping.He did not know why she was still weeping,in spite of his sending His aides to kill Rama.

She replied that all were killed by Rama.If he was really valiant,he should kill Rama.Rama was a thorn for demons in Dandakaaranya region.If he did not kill Rama,She would commit suicide before her brother.It seems he was not really a warrior,he was simply boasting of his capabilities.If he were not so strong,he should really leave that place along with his men.Otherwise ,he was sure to be killed by Rama.Rama and Lakshmana were really super heroes.Khara was not their equal.

Khara was piqued by her rash remarks.He said he would immediately kill Rama and drink his blood.Soorpanakha was happy to hear her brothers words.She started to boost his morale by praising him.that he was the best.

Khara called his army chief,Dooshana and told hi to make ready for the war against Rama .They had fourteen thousand soldiers.Chariot was also made ready.Dooshana made all the war preparations.Khara alghted his chariot and started.His cavalry walked before him.He had all the bad omens.Blood rained.HORSES OF HIS CHARIOT FELL DOWN WITHOUT reason.Eagle sat on the flag of the chariot.Jackals hooted.Sky became dull.Suddenly it became dark.Wild animals and birds came abreast his army.His left shoulder shuddered with impending bad incidents.Tears rolled down his eyes without reason or rhyme.

But Khara did not flinch by these omens.He uplifted the morale of his army that only weaklings get afraid not  the strong persons.He would not turn back until he kills Rama and Lakshmana.He did not even know the meaning of the word,LOSE.iF HE GETS ANGRY,HE could even kill Indra.Then what would be the plight of mere mortals like Rama and Lakshmana?All the demons were eager to start the war after hearing Kharas words.They all started for the war.

Rama also saw some forecasting at that time.He is addressing Lakshamana to observe those extremities.All of them were indicating assassination of demons.All his arrows were combustible indicating war.It seems war is inevitable.His right shoulder is shuddering,which is good sign.Lakshmanas face is glowing  and composed showing calmness.It proves that they are sure to win.They could hear the demons coming noisily.Intelligent person would never wait for the calamity to come,he would always take measures to avoid it before hand.So,he directed Lakshmana to take Seetha into the cave.He was asked to protect her at the mouth of the cave with bow and arrows.Actually Lakshmana himself was enough to kill all these demons.There was no doubt about it.But this time,Rama wants to eliminate all those demons.

As per his brothers instructions,Lakshmana took Seetha in to the cave and stood before it with his bow and arrows.Sree Rama covered his body with shield and was ready to face them.All the rishis and dieties were eagerly awaiting to see how Rama would kill those demons.Rama was shining with inner power and strength.He was angry.
KRUDDHUDAINA RUDRUNI CHANDAMUNA BHAYANKARUDAI VUNNAADU.

IT MEANS he was like Siva while in anger and every one was afraind to look at him.He was so ferocious AT THAT TIME.
Demons came ready to fight.All the wild animals ran into the forest with fear.Sree rama saw all the four sides to assess the enemies strength and weakness. He was wearing his bow and arrows and was ready to fight.Khara came and attacked Rama with thousand arrows.Other demons also attacked with their weapons.It was as if arrows were raining on Rama.But all the arrows and weapons got demolished by Ramas archery.It was as if all the rivulets end their existence and individuality once they join sea.Ramas body was covered with blood oozing from the wound.He looked like sun which was covered by clouds at the time of dusk.Rama got angry and he turned his bow in a semicircular fashion and released arrows in thousands on the demons.All the demons died.Their horses and elephants also perished.He was killing demons like the fire of the forest which can not be curbed easily.Demons were falling down in heaps in a way trees fall by the speed of Garuthmantha.Those few remaining came to Khara for rescue.Dooshana cajoled them and again sent them to fight.Severe war had taken place between the demons and Rama,.Rama was so efficient in using and releasing the arrows fron his bow that only the demons falling down could be seen .No one could see how Rama was operating his arms.Entire sky was filled with arrows and it was all dark .Earth was filled by dead bodies of demons all over.Dooshana again sent five thousand of his warriors onto Rama for attacking him.All of them rained arrows on Rama but he was not affected by these things.He was angry and retaliated more forcefully.He was like powerful ox which does not care a hoot  even if heavy rain falls on it.

Dooshana hims elf attacked Rama..Rama broke his bow and killed the horses of his chariot.He killed his aide also.Dooshana attacked with an iron ball,and Rama cut off his hands.Khara died in a very pathetic fashion.All the five thousand warriors of Dooshana were killed by five thousand arrows from Rama.

Seeing this,Khara sent twelve of his efficient warriors and army perssonnel who also met their end in the hands of Rama.Like fourteen thousand demons were killed single handedly by Rama from ground.Only Khara and Thrisirudu were left behind.All others died .
