Vibheeshana tells Raama about Athikaayudu

Mahaapaarsvudu saw Thrisirudu getting killed.He could not withstand it.So,he started killing vaanaraas with his mace.Rushabhudu lounged at Mahaapaarsvudu.but Mahaapaarsvudu hit him on his chest.Rushabhudu fainted for a minute,but revuved and took the mace and hit mahaapaarsvudu.With that blow,Mahaapaarsvudu died.Demons started running away from the war field.Athikaayudu saw these velopments.He was not an ordinary demon.He was agreat warrior.He obtained boons from Brahma.He alighted on a chariot with Bow and arrows.He was telling his name and roaring like a lion and started falling on the vaanaraas.Vaanaraas thought that Kumbhakarna was alive and came again to eat them.So,they all started running away.Some came to Raama and sought his help.Raama saw Athikaayudu from a distance and was astonished.He started enquiring Vibheeshana regarding that huge demon. Vibheeshana!who is that mountain like dmon?He is coming in a chariot which is dragged by thousand horses.Four charioteers are managing the chariot.His bow is magnanimous like that of Indraas bow.There are thirty eight arrow holders,bows and strings in his chariot.He has two swords of the length of ten arms.Who is this great demon?Vibheeshana answered him.Hey lord!He is Raavanaas son.His mother is Dhaanyamaalini.His name is Athikaayudu.He equals Raavana in valor.He has good knowledge of all the weapons.He is a great scholar,too.He serves old and aged people.He is well versed in politics.With his help only ,Lanka is safe.He did great penance and pleased Brahma and obtained boons from him.He got boon that he would not be killed by either demons or deities.Brahma had presented him with armour for his chariot.He won over demons and deities many a time.He stilled Indraas Vajraayudham once.We have to kill him immediately.Other wise,our vaanara armies would get by his arrows.Athikaayudu entered into vaanaraas army.Kumududu,Dvividudu,Maindud,Neeludu and Sarabhudu attacked him simultaneously.But Athikaayudu stopped the boulders and trees which kapi warriors threw at him.He rained arrows on vaanara warriors.Vaanaraas could not withstand his onslaught and ran away.He did not go after them.He talked to Raama proudly. Raama!I am ready with my bow and arrows.I do not like to fight with weaklings.If there is any brave warrior amongst you,tell him to come.Lakshmana got angry with these words and stretched his bow string.Its reverberations filled earth,sky,mountains,seven seas and in all the directions.Demons hearts shivered with that sound.Even Athikaayudu was awe struck with that sound.
