After the mighty Kumbhakarna was slain by Rama, despair and confusion spread through Ravana's army. The warriors of Lanka were shaken, their morale plummeting as they witnessed the fall of one of their strongest champions. Amidst this chaos, Narantaka, one of Ravana’s valiant sons, decided to step onto the battlefield to avenge his brother's death and turn the tide of the war.
With unwavering resolve, Narantaka charged into the fray,
shooting arrows in all directions. His onslaught was devastating, and the
vanaras (monkey warriors) fell in droves, their blood soaking the soil and
turning the battlefield into a grisly scene. The vanaras were disheartened and
began to lose hope under the relentless assault of Narantaka.
Witnessing the dire situation, Sugriva, the king of the
vanaras, knew immediate action was necessary. He called upon Angada, his brave
nephew and one of the foremost warriors in the vanara army, to face Narantaka
and stem the tide of destruction. Angada, known for his courage and strength,
stepped forward without hesitation to confront the fearsome demon.
As Angada approached, Narantaka, filled with fury and
confidence, lifted his spear and hurled it towards him with all his might. The
battlefield fell silent as everyone watched the spear fly towards Angada.
However, Angada's chest was like thunder itself—unyielding and powerful. The
spear struck his chest and shattered into pieces, astonishing everyone present.
The demon's powerful attack had been effortlessly thwarted.
Unfazed, Angada counterattacked with precision and strength.
He swiftly killed the horses drawing Narantaka's chariot, leaving the demon
vulnerable. Narantaka, enraged by the loss of his chariot, delivered a mighty
blow at Angada, hoping to overpower him. But Angada stood firm, his resolve
unbroken.
Seizing the moment, Angada leaped into the air and, with a
powerful motion, brought his knee down upon Narantaka's chest. The force of the
blow was immense, and Narantaka collapsed under the impact. With this decisive
move, Angada had slain Narantaka, bringing a significant victory to the vanara
army and restoring hope among his comrades.
The fall of Narantaka marked another turning point in the
war, showcasing the bravery and strength of the vanara warriors and the
indomitable spirit of their leaders. Angada’s triumph over Narantaka not only
avenged the fallen vanaras but also demonstrated the unwavering resolve of
Rama’s allies in the epic struggle against Ravana’s forces.
After Kumbhakarna was killed by Rama, there was gloom and utter
confusion in the army of Ravana. Seeing this, Narantaka, a son of Ravana,
decided to go to the battlefield.
Entering the battlefield Narantaka started shooting arrows
everywhere. Vanaras began falling and soon the soil was red, from the blood of
the vanaras.
Sugirva asked Angada to intervene. Angada went and attacked Narantaka.
Narantaka lifted a spear and hurled that towards Angada. No one knew what would
happen. Angada's chest was like thunder, and the spear when it struck his
chest, broke into two. Angada then killed the horses drawing the chariot of
Narantaka.
Narantaka then dealt a mighty blow at Angada. Angada did not fall. Jumping, he
placed his knee on the chest of Narantaka, and killed him.
