Angada Delivers Shatrughna's Message to Suratha

1-6. Then the younger brother of Rama came (there) and asked his servants: Where is the very charming sacrificial horse?" At that time those very mighty heroes said (these) words to Shatrughna: "We do not know. Some warriors took the horse and went into a city; and all of us were despised by the mighty servants of the king. You are now the authority as to what should be done now." Hearing those words of them, Shatrughna became very angry and the hero gnawing his teeth and repeatedly licking (his lips) with his tongue said: ''Snatching my horse where will you go? Now (only) I shall ruin with (my) arrows (your) city with the people (i.e. the inhabitants)." Saying so, he said to Sumati: "Whose city is this? Who is its lord that took away my horse?" Shesha said:

7-12. Hearing these angry words of the king the minister spoke in a sweet voice words with distinct syllables: "Know this to be a very charming city named Kundala. The righteous, mighty ksatriya Suratha lives here. He is always given to religious conduct and is the servant of the couple of feet of Rama; he is Rama's servant like Hanflmat by thought, deeds and speech. There are hundreds of (good) deeds of this righteous (king) Suratha who is all-good, has a retinue of very strong (soldiers). If the best horse is snatched away, there would be a great war here. Many heroes skilled in fighting will fall (in the battle)." Having heard (the words) thus spoken, Shatrughna, the killer of the heroes of his enemy and the best among the eloquent, again said these words to (his) minister. Shatrughna said:

13. How should we act here if he has snatched away Rama's horse? He does not come to fight with (our) army which is strong and served by heroes? ]

14-16. O great king, an eloquent messenger should be sent to the king, by (hearing) whose words the best among the strong will come along with his army. Or, the horse might have been carried away through ignorance by some proud (person). He will give us (back) the excellent, auspicious, sacrificial horse. Hearing these words of (i.e. spoken by) him, the intelligent and powerful Shatrughna said these polite words to Angada. Shatrughna said:

17-19. You (please) go to Suratha's great city which is, nearby. Having gone (there) as a messenger say to the king:j ''You have taken away knowingly or unknowingly Rama'si horse. Give him (back); or go in for a fight along with your warriors." O you, who are endowed with the greatest might and who are intelligent, act as a messenger in the same way as you acted as the messenger of Rama to Ravana in Lanka. Shesha said:

20-22. Hearing these (words) and saying, 'Yes' to the king, Angada went to (Suratha's) assembly full of groups of warriors. He saw (there) king Suratha holding Tulasi-sprouts and telling (about) Rama to his own servants. The king too seeing the monkey having a charming body and knowing him to be Shatrughna's messenger and Valin's son, said to him. Suratha said:

23. O lord of the monkeys, how and for what purpose have' you come here? Tell me the full reason so that knowing it I shall do that (what is proper). Shesha said:

24-29. The lord of the monkeys very much wondering in his heart said to the king who was speaking like this and who served Rama: "O best king, know me to be Valin's son, the lord of the monkeys. I have been sent to you as a messenger by Shatrughna. O king, some of your servants came and have now suddenly and unknowingly taken away my horse, (and thus) I have done an unjust act. Go gladly to Shatrughna and having fallen at his feet quickly give the horse (back to him) along with your kingdom and sons. Otherwise, with your body wounded and deprived of your head by the arrows discharged by Shatrughna you will lie adorning the surface of the earth. Where will you go by snatching the sacrificial horse of him who easily in a moment destroyed the lord of Lanka? Shesha said:

30-35. The lord of the earth, replied to him (i.e. to Angada) who was speaking like this. "You are saying everything that is proper. Your words are not untrue. But listen to my words, O servant of Shatrughna's feet. I have seized the great horse of the intelligent Ramachandra. Through the fear of Shatrughna and others I will not at all release him. If Rama himself will come and appear before me, then (only) I with my sons will, after saluting his feet, give him my entire kingdom, much wealth, corn and army. If Rama would not come, I shall now even in a moment conquer the great warriors like Shatrughna and bind them in my house." Shesha said:

36. Hearing this, the intelligent Angada laughed at the king: and said very important words with great courage. Angada said:

37-48. You, being devoid of understanding due to your old age, are speaking (like this)! That (i.e. understanding) has left you. since you, strengthened by your devotion (to Rama) are despising Shatrughna who easily killed the demon Lavana, the enemy of king Mandhatr, who killed many very strong and insolent warriors in battles. You are binding (i.e. thinking of binding) that lord of warriors who killed Vidyunmalin seated in (a vehicle) moving according to the occupant's desire. You appear to me to be devoid of wisdom. Shatrughna's brother's son Puskala is very mighty and knows (the use of) great missiles. Shatrughna has very much pleased Virabhadra, the attendant of Rudra. How can I describe his great valour earned through his might, resembling whom in might, fame or glory, there is none on the earth? Near him remains Hanumat who has (set) his heart on the lotus-like feet of Rama, whose (i.e. of Hanumat") many deeds will be heard (i.e. known) by you, who in a moment forcibly burnt the demon's (i.e. Ravana's) city (Lanka) along with the Trikuta mountain, who killed Aksa, the son of the wicked lord of demons, who repeatedly brought the mountain Drona along with the deities in it on the tip of his tail for reviving the soldiers. Rama (alone) knows his uprightness. None else who is a dunce, knows it; him, the lord of monkeys, his servant, Rama does not forget (even) a little from his heart. All the lordly monkeys like Sugrlva who live on the earth, serve king Shatrughna. They are eager to see (the horse). (So also there are others like) Kushadhvaja, Nllaratna, Riputapa knowing (the use of) great missiles, (and) Pratapagrya, Subahu, Vimala and Sumada. (So also) king Viramani, full of truth (i.e. truthful), is the servant of the king. These and other kings serve him.

49-50. There (i.e. among them), who are you (but) a mosquito in the ocean, O hero? Realising that, go (i.e. march) with your sons to the kind Shatrughna. Having given (back) the horse you will go to the lotus-eyed Rama (and) seeing him you will make your limbs and your existence blessed. Shesha said:

51-56. The king said to the messenger who was speaking in various ways: "You (will) immediately show them (to me, as) I do not know all (of them). O messenger, the might of Hanumat who, taking Rama on his back went to protect the sacrifice, is not as (great) as my own. If with devotion I worship Rama mentally, with words and deeds, then he will quickly show me his body. Otherwise, let the heroes led by Hanumat endowed with devotion bind me, and take (back) the horse speedily. (You) go to (my) enemy Shatrughna and tell him what I said. Let (your) good warriors be ready. This I, powerful one, am going to the battlefield. On the battlefield he will after thinking (properly)do what is proper. Let them free the great horse or give him to me."

57. Having heard this and having smiled the hero went where the king (stayed), and having gone to him told him (everything) as was told by Suratha.
