“My lord, VŒli and myself are two brothers. The affection that existed between us was past all telling. Once upon a time, O lord, the son of the demon Maya, who was known by the name of MŒyŒv¶, came to our town (KiƒkindhŒ). At dead of night he called out at the gate of the town. VŒli could not brook his enemy’s challenge to a bout and sallied forth to meet him. But when he saw VŒli coming, he took to flight. I too had accompanied my brother. The enemy went and entered the cave of a big mountain. Then VŒli gave instructions to me, “Await my return till a fortnight. If I do not return, then take me as slain.” When I had waited there for a month, O slayer of Khara, a copious stream of blood issued from the cave. I, therefore, concluded that the demon had slain VŒli and that he would come and kill me too. Accordingly I blocked the mouth of the cave with a rock and fled away. When the ministers saw the town without a master, they forced me to accept the throne. Meanwhile VŒli, who had killed the enemy, returned home and saw me (installed on the throne), he nursed a grudge against me in his heart. He gave me a most severe beating as he would an enemy, and robbed me of all that I had 718 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* including my wife. For fear of him, O gracious Hero of Raghu’s line, I wandered all over the world in a pitiable condition. A curse * prevents him from coming over here; yet I remain ill at ease in mind.” When the gracious Lord heard of His devotee’s distress both His long arms started throbbing (thus showing His martial spirit as well as His determination to punish VŒli).
