Ramayan Episode 82
Kabandh was about to eat Ram and Laxman, but they strike him and fall down. Kabandh is surprised, as he knows only Ram and Laxman ate two people, who can fight with him, and asks them if they are Ram and Laxman. When they says Yes, but how he knows them and who is he? Kabanadh says, he has been waiting for them for Centuries, only they can give him Mukti, he is Danu Gandharva, but because of a curse by Rishi Sthulshira, he has become Rakshas, the reason of the curse was his proudness and creating problems for Rishis. He repented, was sorry to his deeds. Rishi Sthulshira said, he can't take his curse back, but in Tret Yug, when Ram and Laxman are searching Sita, they will bring him in his real position. Ram feels sorry for him. Kabandh says, he too is sorry for them, as Ravan has kidnapped Sita. Ram wants to know, what he knows about it and where he has taken her. Kabandh says he can tell him only after he dies, so they must burn him, and it will do no harm to them. After they burn his body, he comes to his original shape and is thankful to them. He tells them a place in mountain, where they will meet Raja Sugriv, he will be friendly and help them in finding Sita, but to reach Sugriv, they first have to meet Shabri, they have to go to Pampa Sarovar, she too is waiting for them to help them, for her Ram is God and she prays to him everyday. Telling this Kabandh disappears. Ravan comes to Sita and tells her to forget Ram and marry him. Sita refuses, saying Ram will come and take her away, how can Ravan forget that her husband had killed Mareech, Subahu, Taadka, Viradh, Khar and Dushan without any one's help, and one day he will kill him too. Ravan tells Trijita to keep Sita in ashok vatika till she agrees to marry him. Mandodri gives some nice clothes to her maid and tells her to give these to Sita, as her clothes must have become dirty, and if Sita requires anything, she can ask for it and she will get it. Maid is shocked and says she is going to be her rival. Mandodri says, at present, she is a royal guest, do what I have told you. Maid leaves. Vibhishan tells Mandodri that Ravan had got a curse from a woman whom he had kidnapped that a woman only would be the reason for his death. Mandodri remebers Sita's words to Surpankha that Ravan's end was near as Ram would surely kill him & Surpankha is the culprit for all this. Mandodri requests Ravan to return Sita to Ram, as Sita being in Lanka is not good for the people of Lanka and for Ravan. Ravan laughs and says no one can harm him; he is more powerful than even death. He is ashamed of his wife being so afraid, nothing can happen to harm Ravan or Lanka. Mandodri is sadhearing this. Ram & Laxman are in jungle in search of Sita & waiting to meet Shabri.
