Ravana's lament over Kumbhakarna's fall.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:14Translation: 04:16 - 10:00

Disconsolate at the death of Prahasta, Ravana himself appears on the battlefield for an encounter. After a tough fight with Sugriva, Lakshmana, Hanuman and Nila, Ravana meets Sri Rama and, sustaining an ignominious defeat at the latter's hands and escaping with his life, withdraws to Lanka.Recitation: 00:00 - 27:33Translation: 27:36 - 01:05:56

Mahodara twits Kumbhakarna and suggests to Ravana a device to achieve his end without a struggle.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:12Translation: 06:15 - 15:37

Akampana and other ogres appear on the field of battle under orders of Ravana and wage a deadly conflict with the monkeys.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:25Translation: 05:29 - 12:03

Under orders of Ravana, Prahasta sallies forth with a large army for the battlefield.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:37Translation: 07:43 - 18:03

Indrajit having re-entered Lanka, Hanuman and other monkeys encompass Sri Rama and Lakshmana and guard their bodies. Having dismissed Indrajit, Ravana commands the ogresses guarding Sita to take her to the field of battle and show her the plight of Sri Rama and Lakshmana. The ogresses, headed by Trijata, accordingly take her in the aerial car, known by the name of Pushpaka, and show her the two princes lying unconscious and motionless on the ground. Sita bursts into a piteous wail on seeing her husband and brother-in-law in that plight.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:20Translation: 04:24 - 09:55

Hearing the tumultuous rise of the monkeys, the servants of Ravana, detailed for the purpose, report to him how the two scions of Raghu were freed from the bondage of arrows. Depressed by this news, Ravana dispatches Dhumraaksha to dispose of Sri Rama. Though perturbed at the sight of evil portents, yet unwilling to retrace his steps on any account, Dhumraaksha surveys the army of the monkeys.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:26Translation: 06:31 - 14:56

The monkeys' tough fight with the ogre Vajradamshtra dispatched by Ravana, who is provoked by the death of Dhumraaksha.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:36Translation: 05:40 - 12:25

While, on reaching the precincts of Lanka, Sri Rama and Sugriva as well as other monkeys headed by Hanuman were deliberating as to how to achieve success in their expedition, Vibhishana apprises them of the arrangements made by Ravana at the four gates for the defence of Lanka, as reported to him by his four ministers, who had entered Lanka in the disguise of birds and witnessed everything with their own eyes. Sri Rama too after detailing monkeys to storm the four gates climbs up the Suvela mountain with his army.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:32Translation: 06:37 - 15:42

Ascending the highest peak of the Suvela mountain along with a division of his army, Sri Rama catches sight of Ravana perched on the top of a gate of his palace. Infuriated at his very sight, Sugriva springs upon him by surprise from the mountain-top, throws down the diadem from his head, struggles with him for a long time and, eluding him, returns victorious to the presence of Sri Rama.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:54Translation: 05:59 - 14:57

Sri Rama is not very pleased with the daring act of Sugriva inasmuch as he had seen evil portents. Warning him against such action on the ground of his being a sovereign, and commanding the monkey generals to besiege all the four gates of Lanka, he dispatches Angada to expostulate with Ravana and bring him to reason. Angada tries his best to bring him round, but in vain, and returns unsuccessful to the presence of Sri Rama after threatening the ogres.Recitation: 00:00 - 16:20Translation: 16:25 - 39:06

Approaching Ravana, the ogres break to him the news about Lanka having been laid siege to by the monkeys led by Sri Rama. Ascending the roof of his palace and taxing his brain about the means of putting an end to the monkeys, he casts a look at Sri Rama and the monkeys. Pained at the thought that Sita was being bullied by Ravana on his account, and commanding the monkeys to besiege all the four gates of Lanka and to destroy the ogres, Sri Rama, on the other side, takes up his position along with Lakshmana near the northern gate. Apprised of these developments, Ravana mobilises his army and, encouraged by him, the ogres beat their drums and emit a terrible roar.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:05Translation: 08:08 - 18:59

Deriding the exhortation of Maalyavaan, even though conducive to his good, holding consultation with his ministers and detailing Prahasta (the Commaner-in-chief) and others to guard the four main gates against the inroads of the enemy, Ravana complacently retires into his gyneaceum.Recitation: 00: 00 - 03:56Translation: 04:00 - 08:53

Urged by Sita, Sarama discloses to her the definite plans of Ravana devised by him in consultation with his ministers.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:58Translation: 05:00 - 11:42

Observing in Lanka evil portents and startling phenomena foreboding the destruction of ogres, Maalyavaan exhorts Ravana to make peace with Sri Rama.Recitation: 00: 00 - 06:43Translation: 06:49 - 15:25

Sita bursts into a wail at the sight of Sri Rama's head and bow, when Ravana is abruptly called away by an emissary and after consultation with his ministers prepares his forces for action against the army of Sri Rama.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:40Translation: 07:44 - 17:59

Climbing up the roof of his palace on hearing the submissionof Saarana and surveying the entire army of monkeys, Ravana inquires about the monkey leaders and Saarana shows to him Hanuman and others along with their distinguishing marks.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:03Translation: 08:07 - 17:33

Snubbing Shuka and Saarana, Ravana expels them from his court and dispatches Shardoola and other ogres for espionage. Captured by the monkeys, the ogres are thrashed by them and get released by Sri Rama. Returning to Lanka, they too speak to Ravana about the army of monkeys.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:12Translation: 05:16 - 11:57

Dispatched by Ravana to ascertain the strength of the simian army, the ogre Shardula acquaints his master with the topmost leaders of the monkeys.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:52Translation: 05:55 - 14:00

Perturbed to find from the spies sent to him that Sri Rama had taken up his position near the Suvela mountain, Ravana takes counsel with his ministers and, after dismissing them, approaches Sita with Vidyujjihva, who was a past master in conjuring tricks. Telling her how her husband had been killed by him with his entire army, he produces before her as an evidence the counterfeit head of Sri Rama brought by Vidyujjihva.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:33Translation: 07:38 - 17:58

“Being under the control of passion and lust, Rama's father, Maharaja Dasharatha, wanted to fulfill Kaikeyi's cherished desire, thus he did not go through with Rama's installation ceremony.” (Sita Devi speaking to Ravana, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kand, 47.12)

“My husband Rama is famous throughout the world. He is pure, truthful, and very gentle. He is mighty-armed, has wide eyes, and is always busy working for the welfare of all living beings [sarva-bhuta-hite-ratah].” (Sita Devi speaking to Ravana, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kand, 47.11)

On Sri Rama having crossed over to the other side of the sea, Ravana commands his ministers, Shuka and Shaarana, to enter the enemy's ranks and tell him everything about them. Detected while doing the work of a spy, they are captured by Vibhishana, but let go by Sri Rama. Going back to Ravana, they exhort the latter to hand over Sita to Sri Rama.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:45Translation: 05:48 - 13:36

Beholding Lanka and applauding it, nay, drawing up his army in battle array, Sri Rama orders the release of Shuka (a spy of Ravana), who was captured earlier and kept under detention by the monkeys. Going back to Ravana, the ogre speaks to him about the military strength of Sri Rama. Infuriated by this report, Ravana vauntingly harps on his own prowess.Recitation: 00: 00 - 07:34Translation: 07:38 - 18:30

Falling at the feet of Sri Rama on coming down to the earth along with his ministers, when he had received an assurance of safety from Sri Rama, Vibhishana submits to the former that, having been reprimanded by his eldest brother, Ravana, he has sought refuge with him, and on being questioned by Sri Rama tells him everything about Ravana.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:54Translation: 06:58 - 17:17

Vibhishana exhorts Ravana to restore Sita to Sri Rama, before the latter arrows pierced the heads of the ogres.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:12Translation: 05:18 - 12:42

Told by an ogre, Shardula by name, that an army of monkeys led by Sugriva was advancing towards Lanka, Ravana dispatched an ogre, Shuka by name, as an envoy to carry his message to Sugriva. While commencing to deliver the message to Sugriva, Shuka is captured by the monkeys; but Sri Ramam causes him to be set free and he delivers the message to Sugriva.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:32Translation: 06:37 - 15:25

Annoyed to hear this advice of his youngest half-brother, Vibhishana, which though unpleasant to hear, was most wholesome, Ravana, on whom it made no impression, castigates him with harsh words.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:53Translation: 04:57 - 11:33

Advised by Mahapaarshva to use violence against Sita, Ravana pleads his inability to do so because of a curse pronounced against him in the past by Brahma, and boasts of his own valour.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:48Translation: 03:51 - 08:57

Ravana orders his Commander-in-Chief, Prahasta, to make adequate arrangements for the defence of the city and to apprise Kumbhakarna of the whole situation now that he had woken from his long slumber.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:55Translation: 07:00 - 17:12

Restraining the ogres, who were boasting each of his own strength, Vibhishana begins to talk wisdom, on which Ravana retires to his own palace.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:12Translation: 04:18 - 09:58

Prahasta and others reassure Ravana by vauntingly vowing the death of Sri Rama and others.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:12Translation: 04:16 - 08:56

Indulging in praise of their own might on hearing the command of Ravana, all the ogres present stimulate him with confidence, asking him not to give way to despondency.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:20Translation: 04:24 - 10:50

At Lanka, Ravana holds consultation with the ogres on the means of victory in the contingency of a conflict with the monkeys.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:25Translation: 03:30 - 07:50

"I think Rajiv's had this impact on the field by being able to see so far ahead. He's been able to raise a generation of leaders, that have come under his umbrella. He has within his perception, the kernel of a vision for the future of Hindu life that is more active, that is more action oriented, and that sets Hindus, and the rest of the world with the responsibility to be hands on about the problems they have to solve.

"Rajiv's books have been an important part of awareness building. And now we often get people who are activated, who have read Rajiv's books- say, Invading the Sacred or The Battle for Sanskrit or Indra's Net. Now, all of a sudden, they've been awakened to all of these different ecosystems and ideologies that have kept our civilization from tapping into our history, into our identity, in the way that we talk about ourselves and who we are has been constricted by a Western or Abrahamic framework. In some sense, it kind of becomes the entry point for anyone who's read any of Rajiv's books to want to become an activist, which, of course, is great for the Hindu American Foundation."- Suhag A.

"I was always incredibly struck by not only Rajiv's sincerity and his wisdom but the ability to sincerely engage different ideas and give nimble, sharp, cogent responses to those. I find him to be an extraordinary human. He's one of the few public intellectuals who brings both a scalpel and a sledgehammer to the problem. He sacrificed considerably, spoke truth in the face of power, was honest about the nature of the problem, and was one of the few voices that attempt to preserve what was best in the civilization in a sincere, open, and even kind way."- Peter Boghossian, American philosopher and author, shares his thoughts as we celebrate 30 years of Infinity Foundation @InfinityMessageTo be part of our 30th anniversary celebrations this April 2025, register here (limited Passes): http://rajivmalhotra.com/30thWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation's projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/
