Even as they were watching, there arose a swift wind, hurling water into the ocean, driving away clouds, and seeming to shake the mountains. The wind was being driven by a pair of powerful wings and suddenly, the serpents that dwelt there were terrified and plunged deep into the sea. And in a moment, the vānaras discerned Garuḍa who was as radiant as Agni. Looking at this invincible creature, the nāgas that had bound Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa fled in fear. Garuḍa then touched the faces of the brothers with his hands and immediately, their wounds healed.

शुक्ल यजुर्वेद का एक अन्य श्लोक निम्नानुसार है –
मेरे कंधों में बल है, मेरी बुद्धि में बल है
मेरी बांहो में, मेरे साहस में कर्म भरा है
एक हाथ से कार्य करु, दूजे से शौर्य दिखाऊ
मै स्वयं क्षात्र कहलाऊ[1] ।
ಪರಂಪರೆಯ ಪರಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯದ ಮುಂದುವರಿಕೆಯ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಶೀಲತೆ ಹಾಗೂ ನೂತನ ಆವಿಷ್ಕಾರಗಳ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡ ಪೈಗಳಿಗೆ ಆಸ್ಥೆಯುಂಟು. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರ ಛಂದೋನುಶೀಲನವೂ ಒಂದು ಸಮರ್ಥ ನಿದರ್ಶನ. ಆದಿಪ್ರಾಸದ ಪಾಲನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರ ನಿರಾಸದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಪೈಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕ ವೃತ್ತಗಳನ್ನು ಹಿಗ್ಗಿಸುವ ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಹೊಸ ಬಗೆಯ ರಚನೆಗೆ ಒಗ್ಗಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
Rāma observed many portents and advised Lakṣmaṇa that they must attack Rāvaṇa’s city without delay. He descended from the mountain Suvela and inspected his army of vānaras. He commanded them to march on to the citadel. The vānaras picked up rocks, boulders, and full-grown trees to use as their weapons. In no time, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa along with the vānara army reached the ramparts of Laṅkā.
In the phrase, īśvaraḥ sarvabhūtānām, īśvara is not to be taken as the same as the absolute aspect of Parabrahma. Īśvaratva is an aspect or a state of Parabrahma’s līlā. It is normally referred to as kārya-Brahma (Brahma as an effect). Supreme Brahma is without activity. When it appears to be active in the world, it is known as kārya-Brahma or īśvara. Whenever we consider either activity or the world, an element of māyā is involved.
ಒಪ್ಪಂದಗಳೆಂಬ ಠಕ್ಕು
ಈ ರೀತಿ ಗುಲಾಮಗಿರಿಗೆ ತಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರು ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡ ಏಕೈಕ ಹಾಗೂ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಪ್ರಬಲವಾದ ಅಸ್ತ್ರ: ಒಪ್ಪಂದಗಳು. ಒಂದೊಂದು ಒಪ್ಪಂದದ ಸಂದರ್ಭ, ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆ ಭಿನ್ನವಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವೆಲ್ಲದರ ಅಂತಿಮ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ದಾಸ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪರ್ಯಾವಸಾನವಾಯಿತು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ನಿರ್ವಿವಾದ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇಖಡಾ ೯೦ರಷ್ಟು ಒಪ್ಪಂದಗಳು ಆದದ್ದು ಯುದ್ಧದ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ – ಅವು ಯುದ್ಧಪೂರ್ವ ಅಥವಾ ಯುದ್ಧದ ಮಧ್ಯ ಅಥವಾ ಯುದ್ಧಾನಂತರದವು.
The spies returned to Laṅkā and informed Rāvaṇa that Rāma and his army had camped in the vicinity of Mount Suvela. Rāvaṇa was displeased that the spies had been discovered by his enemies. One of the spies named Śārdūla explained to Rāvaṇa the power of Rāma’s prowess and the power of his army. Agitated, Rāvaṇa summoned his counsellor Vidyujjihva, the master of illusions and instructed him, “Let us delude Sītā with a deceit. Bring me an imitation of Rāma’s head as well as his bow and arrows.” Vidyujjihva immediately agreed and the king rewarded him with a piece of jewellery.
