Hanuman's Feat

Ravana was totally devastated
Beyond a limit, frustrated
Tears rolled down his cheek
He couldn't accept he was weak

He then sent Adhikaayan to fight
Adhikaayan fell dead before Lakshmana's might
Devaanthagan, Naranthagan and Thrisiras went for war
With Angathan, Jambavan and Sugriva they were not at par

The monkeys enthuse were constantly on rise
While the rakshashas mourned their leaders' demise
Ravana felt miserable moment after moment
He truly regretted the turn of the event

Mother Sita to Lord Rama, it was late for him to give
After Kumbhakarna's death, how could he ever live
Brothers, sons and friends one after the other
To the rope of death, he did continuously tether

Indrajeeth came before his father
And asked for permission to fight further
Ravana send him to fight, with his left over hope
Somehow in this fight with Rama, he wanted to cope

Indrajeeth kept himself invisible
Because of which, he was invincible
He shot arrows charged with Brahma's power
In the war among all Rakshashas he did tower

Rama and Lakshman were caught by the arrows
Respecting Brahma, they fell like sparrows
All the monkey leaders fell for the arrows
Except for Hanuman, who knew no sorrows

Vibhishana somehow had escaped the arrow
About his friends' state, he was in sorrow
He and Hanuman looked for Jambavan, the bear
On looking at Hanuman, Jambavan wiped his tear

Jambavan instructed Hanuman, that he must fly up north
Some herbs from the Oshadhi mountain, he must bring forth
Jambavan's feet with respect, Hanuman did touch
And decided to do, what Jambavan said as such

Contemplating on what should be done, Hanuman grew in size
And he decided to go, where the oshadhi mountain lies
Quickly he went atop, Thrikooda mountain's top
There was nothing in the world, that could make him stop

From the top of Thrikooda mountain, Hanuman took a leap
In a short while He reached, The Himalayan ranges that are steep
From there he easily identified the Oshadhi mountains
His enthusiasm soared like they were fountains

He searched for some time the prescribed herb
Time was going fast, and it made him perturb
Not wasting much time, Hanuman lifted the hill
As though it was a piece of cake for His skill

With the hill on His shoulders, Hanuman flew down south
Making every one witnessing, in surprise open their mouth
Sushena appreciated Hanuman, and identified the herb
With the herbs Sushena, treated the wounds that curb

Thus Rama, Lakshman and all monkey leaders got back well
All credits went for Hanuman, needless to tell
Thus Hanuman did wonders for the sake of Ram!
Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
