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.

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.
