CHAPTER 73

Another powerful Rakshas commander of Ravan entered the battlefield, Makaraaksh was his name. And he had a strong desire got vengeance as Shri Ram had killed his father Khar and uncle Dushan. He challenged the son of Dashrath for a duel.

"Jis din se tumne mere Pita ki hatya ki hai uss din se mai van van bhatak tumhe dhundh raha hu tumhara vadh karne ke liye ! Aaj mai tumhara bhakshan karunga jaise sher apne aakhet ka karta hai. Jis bhi shashtra mei tum parangat ho woh uthao, mai uske saath hi tumhara vadh karunga." Makaraaksh said.

Shri Ram laughed at his bragging.

"Dinge kyu maar rahe ho ? Tum keval shabdo se dwand nahi jeet sakte. Bhulo mat, maine tumhare Pita Khar aur Chacha Dushan ka hi nahi apetu 14000 Rakshas ko akele vadh kiya tha. Aur aaj tum mera nahi apetu gidd aur gidad tumhara bhakshan karenge." Shri Ram said.

And thus a fierce battle ensured, the twangs of their bow strings echoed like thunder across the battlefield. Makaraaksh was quite a warrior as he matched the pace of Shri Ram in shooting arrows.

They shot so many astras that the earth seemed to have been covered with a veil of their arrows. But now Shri Ram started to get angry, he aimed his arrow at Makaraaksh's bow and broke it. Shri Ram also killed his horses, broke his chariot and grounded the son of khar.

Still the fight continued as Makaraaksh shot other weapons but he couldn't get back into battle and lastly fell prey to the fiery Paatakastra shot by Shri Ram.

And so one by one Ravan's men met their death. His only hope now was Indrajeet. Ravan once again sent his son once again to the battlefield.

Meghnaad shot the deadly Brahmastra at Shri Ram and Lakshman, out of the weapon's respect, they both strategically accepted it. And instead of killing them, the Brahmastra just made them unconscious.

The happiness of Ravan knew no bounds that day. He had thought that soon Shri Ram and Lakshman would succumb to death and the was will get over.

Meghnaad even arranged to take Devi Sita, around the battlefield in the Pushpak vimaan so she could see them lying 'dead'. But even after seeing Shri Ram and Lakshman unconscious, she didn't give up.

Due to the trick of Ravan, she knew that Rakshasas were masters of creating illusions. Hence she didn't believe that her husband and her brother in law were dead.

In the Vanar camp, Jambuvant and Sushen tried all the herbs they could gather but couldn't break the unconsciousness caused by Brahmastra.

"Inke bina toh humari sena ka manobal tut jayega. Yudh hum haar jayenge. Kya inhe jagane ka koi bhi maarg nahi ?" Angad asked.

"Maine suna hai ki Himalaye par kuch jadi bootiya hoti hai jo Brahmastra jaise divyastron ki murcha ko tod sakti hai." Jambuvant said.

"Sahi kaha aapne. Inki upchaar karne hetu 4 jadi bootiya chahiye. Pehli, Vishalya Karani jo rakt rokegi. Dusri Saavarnya Karani jo upri ghaav ko thik karegi. Teesri Mrit-sanjeevani, ho mrityu ke dwar pahuche vyakti ki bhi murcha tod sakti hai. Aur chauthi Sandhaani jo tuti haddiya jodegi." Sushen said.

"Kintu hume jo karna hoga shigreh karna hoga. Aur Himalaye se yaha jadi bootiya laane mei toh na jaane kitne maah lag jayenge !" Sugreev said.

"Chinta na kijiye Maharaj. Iss Sankat ki ghadi mei ek vyakti hai jo shigreh ati shigreh hi sabhi jadi bootiya le aayega." Jambuvant said.

And all eyes turned to the one and only Hanuman, who knew exactly what he had to do.

"Suryodaye se poorv sabhi jadi-bootiya mil jayengi." Hanuman said.

Sankat ki ghadi mei sabke netra Hanuman ji ki oor gaye.... Pata hai kyu ? *Plays Gandiv ki strings*

Ko nahi jaanat hai jag mei Kapi
Sankat mochan naam tihaaro
Sankat mochan naam tihaaro

So as you see, not just Lakshman ji but also Shri Ram was made unconscious by Brahmastra.

And there was not just one Sanjeevani booti used. There were actually 4 miraculous herbs which are totally scientific.
