Hanumantha kills Akampanudu

After the demise of Vajradanshtra,Raavana sent Akampanudu to the war.Akampana started with his enemy but he came across many bad omens.He dis not care for them but proceded to the war field.Kumudud,Naludu,Maindudu and Dvividudu attacked the demon armies.Akampana killed many vaanaraas.Hanumantha saw the plight of Vaanaraas and killed many demons.Akampana and Hanumantha had a dyel.They fought for a long time.Hanumantha finally attacked him with a huge tree and killed him.Remaning demon army ran into the city.Deities,Raama,Lakshmana,Sugreeva,Vibheeshana and other vaanara warriors praised Hanumantha on his achievement that day.Raavana was very unhappy hearing the sad news of death of Akampanudu.He surveyed the city and his army the next day morning.Vaanara armies surrounded the entire city fom all the sides.Raavana called Prahasthudu and started telling him.Prahastha!enemy armies have attacked our city from all the sides.I am unable to find an efficient person who can solve the problem now.Either you,me,Kumbhakarna,Indrajitor Nikumbhudu should take up the responsibility.So,you take the armies and go to the war field.If we fight there is a chance to win.But if we do not fight,enemies would definitely kill us.So,it is better to fight back.Prahastha!what is your opinion in this matter? Prahasthudu replied to this question of Raavana in detail.Hey lord!this issue has come for discussion earlier.There was difference of opinion among the ministers regarding this issue.Then itself I told you that it would be better to hand over Seetha to Raama in the best interest of the king and kingdom.We knew that there would definitely be war if we do not hand over Seetha to Raama.Earlier I have been benefitted by you many a time.So,I will never back out from helping you in times of need.I am ready to sacrifice my wife,children and my life,my wealth and go to war for your sake. Demons did homam and satisfied god of Fire.They prayed Brahmins.Air was carryin the scent of flowers and ghee.Wishing victory,demons wore garlands.taking Raavanaas permission,Prahasthudu started for the war field making sounds with trumpets and conches.Ministers of Prahasthudu,Naraanthakudu,Kumbhahanudu,Mahaanaadudu and Samunnathudu followed him.Army of Prahastha was vast like sea.He too came across bad omens.Eaglesat on the flag post.whip of the charioteer slipped from his hands,though he was very efficient.Horses of the chariot slipped and fell.Prahasthudu felt guilty and lost his composure with these incidents.But he did not turn back but proceded to the war field.
