“Listen, A˘gada; tell me which warrior in your army will dare encounter me. Your master (RŒma) has grown weak due to separation from his wife, while his younger brother (Lakƒma˜a) shares his grief and is consequently very sad. You and Sugr¶va are like trees on a river bank (that can be washed away any moment); as for my younger brother (Vibh¶ƒa˜a), he is a great coward. Your counsellor, JŒmbavŒn, is too advanced in age to take his stand on the field of battle; while Nala and N¶la are mere architects (and no warriors). There is one monkey, no doubt, of extraordinary might—he who came before and set fire to the city.” On hearing this VŒli’s son (A˘gada) replied: “Tell me the truth, O demon king: is it a fact that a monkey burnt down your capital? A puny monkey set on fire RŒva˜a’s capital ! Who, on hearing such a report, would declare it as true? RŒva˜a, he whom you have extolled as a distinguished warrior is only one of Sugr¶va’s petty runners. He who walks long distances is no champion; we sent him only to get news.” (1—5)
