The wretched RŒva˜a proudly repeated the whole story to him and added,” “Assume the false appearance of a wily deer, so that I may be able to abduct the princess.” MŒr¶ca, however, remonstrated, “Listen, RŒva˜a: though disguised as a man, He is the lord of the whole animate and inanimate creation. There can be no quarrel with Him, dear son; we die when He would have us die and live only by His sufferance. Those very princes had gone to guard the sacrifice of the sage V¶ÜvŒmitra, when Ýr¶ RŒma (the Lord of Raghus) smote me with a pointless arrow, that threw me at a distance of 800 miles in an instant. It will not be good to antagonize them. I find myself reduced to the position of an insect* caught in the nest of a Bh¾˘ga ( a wasp-like winged creature) inasmuch as I behold the two brothers wherever I look. Even if they are human beings, dear son, they are remarkable heroes nonetheless; and opposition to them will not avail. (1—4)
