1. Isn’t that King of Ayodhya who, when, in privacy, sleeping in the lap of Sita to her lullaby, unable to bear the troubles created by the crow demon, pitilessly, rendered him (the demon) as one-eyed by discharging weapon – Brahmastra?


2. Isn’t that Sri Rama who slayed that Vali – husband of Tara – who, by banishing Sugriva – the son of Sun - made him reach the mountains, without allowing his wife and children to join him?


3. Isn’t that Faultless Lord - the nourisher of this Thyagaraja - who dried up the arrogance of the sinful Ravana, at that time when Vibhishana, hearing the abusive words uttered (by his brother), being piqued, sought refuge by loudly declaring?
