Narada

Language English

Your power scares the enemy armies

Language English

Your power scares the enemy armies from coming near,

Oh! Nala, you are so rich in grace and valour,

You are the lord of the earth,

Yet you lay your youth to waste.

Not for long do I stay anywhere,

I keep travelling everywhere,

I am known for making conflicts between one and the other,

in this world, in that and in the nether.

Have you not heard of Damayanti,

the Vidarbha princess of unsurpassed beauty?

Please see, O King of demons

Language English

Please see, O King of demons,

O Ravana, this is Bali.

The long and thick tail, the hands,

feet and face may instil fear

But don’t pay heed to that

it may run away if it sees us

There is a way, sneak from the rear,

catch with your hand, watch its misery

Go ahead slowly and stealthily

There should be no delay in his capture

Language English

There should be no delay in his capture,

is there any doubt when you think about it?

O Ravana, how can he be your match!

what Bali says is sheer arrogance.

Reference:

Ravana, hear me now

Language English

Ravana, hear me now; O feared

king, listen to my words

My words don’t depend on your moods

only the truth I am going to tell you

The story of Indra’s capture

by your son, and

helpless gods taking flight —

who doesn’t know all that!

At the mere mention of Ravana’s name

all the gods are left trembling;

Glory to you Ravana, King of Lanka

Language English

Sloka:

Sage Narada, after appraising Bali of his plan, arrives at Ravana’s court with a big smile and starts praising him.

Glory to you Ravana, King of Lanka

glory to you the king of demons

glory to you the son of Kaikasi

glory to you the son of Poulasthya.

Glory to you the brother of Kumbhakarna

glory to you the brother of Soorpanakha

You are here
