kamban gives a detailed description of ayomukhi incident 😎

At nightfall, Lakshmana goes into the jungle to fetch water for Rama. There in the deep jungle, he is confronted by Ayomukhi, an ogress who sets her lustful eyes on Lakshmana and falls in love with him. She forces him to stay with her. Finding that Lakshmana won't budge, she finally decides to carry him away to her cavern, keep him there for some time in the hope of winning him over with the passage of time.
It takes a very long time for him to return to Rama, who left alone to himself, is impelled by his painful emotions and wanders the jungle in the dark, lamenting loudly fearing that he has lost Lakshmana forever. His endeared wife is missing; he lost Jatayu whom he considered next to Dasaratha and loved and respected and now Lakshmana is missing. Troubles seemed to be rushing in on him in an endless stream.
The verses describing him going through agony and pain deserve to be studied. We tend to think Rama being a superhuman, did not have as many troubles as we encounter in our lives. These agonising moments of Rama go to show that he lived an ordinary human life as any of us and he went through all the painful moments that we, the very ordinary, go through in our everyday existence. And when we study that despite being pursued by legions and legions of painful moments and learn that he came out of them shining like a beacon, we have a lesson for our existence. 'If even Rama had to go all this, my troubles are nothing before what he went through.'
His love for Lakshmana, which usually finds expression in the absence of Lakshmana, just flows out from his melancholic heart that tends to give up unto panic, in the feeling that Lakshmana is permanently lost to him.
'ennaith tharum endhayai, ennayarai, ponnaip porugindra polam kuzhayaal thannaip piriven uLan aavadhdhaan,' If at all I am living even after the death of my father, pain of living away from my mothers and after losing Sita in this jungle, 'unnaip piriyaadha uyirppu alavO' it is because I have you with me and have not lost you. My very life hinges on you. Where are you O Lakshmana! What happened to you! Why is it taking such a long time for you to come back!
Rama pours his heart out in fifteen verses, describing what Lakshmana means to him. Let's see a few of them, for they bring out the quality of Lakshmana beautifully. Who else can describe his qualities more eloquently, beautifully and passionately, than Rama!

Light of my light

'Is he confronted by the multitudes of ogre forces in this darkness and has he started his battle against them right now and is that why it is taking such a long time for him to return with water? Fetching water is not such a big job for him to justify this delay. Is he in danger?' Rama's mind ran riots that day in the darkness of the jungle, left alone and in anguish caused by earlier events, intensified by the present one. 'Or is it that Ravana has once again come back? 'nanjin kodiyaan nadalaith thozhilaal thunjutrananO vidhiyin thuNivaal?' Has he tricked him and has Lakshmana by the force of fate died?
When such a thought crosses his mind, even Rama is destabilised. 'I am in darkness,' he says, meaning not the outward darkness. 'uNdaagiya kaar iruLodu oruvEn kaNdhaan ayal vEru kaN ilanaal.' In this stygian darkness that engulfs (my mind) it is he who is my eye and I don't have an eye without him. 'puN thaan urum nenjodu puzhungugirEn.' I am already hurt and bleeding in my heart. 'eN thaan ilen.' I am unable to think (of a possible cause or way of reaching him). 'enganam naadugenO?' How am I going to search him and get him back!
'It was he who soothed my heart, supported me and showed me the path in this difficult time. What am I going to do without him?' First, I went in search of the deer. As a consequence, 'pon thOdu ivargindra polan kuzhayaal than thEdi irundhu thayangiduvEn' I was pushed into searching for my dear Sita with a sunken heart. 'nin thEdi vandha nirappinayO en thEdinai!' And now you have put me in a situation O Lakshmana that I have to look for you as well, bearing this pain all alone.
'indrE iraavaadhu ozhiyEn.' I shall do nothing but to give up my life right this day. 'emarO pondradhu ozhiyaar.' (And if I die here) all our kith and kin would only follow me, who followed you, Lakshmana. In one stroke, you have killed all of us Lakshmana, 'kodiyaai,' O hard-hearted! That last expression 'kodiyaai,' is suffused with affection, personal loss and utter helplessness.
At that moment all the service that Lakshmana rendered rushed in his mind and he is swept by emotions. 'kamayaaLodum en uyir kaavalil nindru,' Protecting the very embodiment of patience (Sita) and my life, 'imayaadhavan,' he who did not bat a wink (never slept) 'iththuNai thaazhvurumO' would (he not think of my loneliness and) delay this long a time? I am afraid that it does not augur well.
When Rama almost concludes that Lakshmana is lost to him forever, he vows 'aRap paal uLadhEl,' if Dharma is strong and would sustain, 'avan munnavanaaip piRappaan uRil vandhu piRakka,' (in our next incarnation) let him be born as my elder brother. I would render all the service that he did to me now and pay this debt back. So saying, 'maRappal vadi vaaL kodu,' Rama unsheathed his sword 'man uyiraith thuRappan urugindra thodarichiyin vaai…' and raised it up as to kill himself. It was exactly at that time that Lakshmana severed the limbs of Ayomukhi, making her wail loudly, stopping him from the act that he was about to venture into. Tears fill my eyes as I write this.
And we all know the truth of the above vow of Rama. In His next incarnation as Krishna, Lakshmana the Sesh Naag was born as Balarama, his elder brother. And that relationship is extremely beautiful, which the Mahabaratha and the Bagavatha Purana speak elaborately.

Lakshmana the courageous

Rama is overjoyed on seeing Lakshmana. He embraces him and washes him with his tears. Tears of relief. Tears of joy. Tears of peace returning. And tears of unbounded love. When Lakshmana narrated the Ayomukhi incident, her lustful advances, her lechery and lasciviousness and how she carried him away and how Lakshmana had to sever her limbs - earlobes and nose once again - now to defend himself unlike in the case of Surpanakha, Rama is filled with joy as well as sorrow, says the Poet.
'ennai angu eydhiyadhu iyambuvaai ena,' Tell me what happened there, asked Rama. 'annavan ahdhu elaam aRiyak kUralum,' As Lakshmana recounted what happened, 'innalum uvagayum iraNdum eydhinaan' Rama was overwhelmed with sorrow as well as with joy at the same time. The Poet remembers to add 'than alaadhu oru poruL thanakku mEl ilaan,' referring to Rama. He who is the very core of anything and everything and He who is the Ultimate who has none above Him.
One who is above all guNas, one who is known as the nir-guNa Brahmam, so willingly subjected himself to all human feelings, human emotions and human ways of living, in a grand drama, living in this world as we do and at the same time setting an example of how to rise ourselves above all these seemingly unscalable and insurmountable difficulties that we encounter in our everyday life. He plays his role very convincingly as an ordinary human being. That's the grandest design of the epic. When we realise that even Rama is faced with such difficulties, hardship and goes through all ups and downs, all our travails and turmoil of our mundane existence would not trouble us any more and we will gain the strength to face all of them and even more.
Now, we are moving away from our immediate subject. Let's get back to the business at hand. And listen to Lakshmana, who comforting Rama, actually comforts all the troubled hearts. 'aayvuru perum kadal agaththuL aayinaar,' We have an ocean (the mind) within us 'paai thirai varudhorum paridhaR paalarO?' and it is not at all right for us to (let our emotions run wild sink deeper and deeper into this ocean within) with the upcoming of every little wave. When it is in the nature of the ocean to wave close to the land, and when we know it is so silent when it runs deep, are we to give up with the onslaught of every wave?
And more. 'thee vinaip piravi vem sirayil patta yaam,' We who are bound in this prison of 'births and deaths' 'ooyvu aRu thuyar vara utkal nOnmayO?' are we to buckle under, in the face of incessant adversity and trouble?
We are born in this world. It is but natural that problems keep cropping up all the way. It is part of the game. The right thing to do is to take up the challenge and surge ahead rather than throw our hands up in utter desolation. If there is a problem, there is a solution as well!
