Krishna's Mercy

Subduer of Enemies Krishna's Mercy

?Rama is like a mad elephant in battle. He has a purified and unblemished family lineage for His trunk, brilliance and splendor for His excitement, and two powerful arms for tusks. O Ravana, you are not even qualified to look at Him.? (Maricha speaking to Ravana, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kand, 31.46) Khara, Dushana and friends to Dandaka did go, What they were in for little did they know. A single man to smite them, fourteen thousand in all, Effortlessly released His arrows, alone He stood tall. Akampana luckily to headquarters in Lanka returned, Spoke to leader Ravana what he saw and what he learned. Trusted Maricha also of Rama?s ability told, ?Agitate Him and your demise quickly to unfold?. Thus even Rama?s enemies about His glories can speak, From pages of Ramayana man to find wisdom he seeks.
