The first fight in the journey

Shatrughn asked his people, "Who can face Daman?" Pushkal came forward to fight with Daman and Shatrughn sent him to fight with him. Both introduced themselves and started fighting. Pushkal was getting heavier for Daman. Daman's army was decreasing in number. Both were using Divine weapons - Aagneya Astra, Varun Astra etc. But once Pushkal shot an arrow which hit Daman's chest and he fell down. His Saarathee took him off the battle ground, and his people ran away from there. Seeing this Pushkal didn't hit anybody. Seeing Pushkal as a winner, Shatrughn got very happy."
When Subaahu heard that his army was killed, he asked his people as what was the matter. His people told him that Daman had caught Raam's horse and His nephew has defeated him. Hearing this Subaahu came to Shatrughn. Seeing Subaahu coming to them Shatrughn's army got ready to fight. With him came his brother Suketu and his sons Chitraang and Vichitra also. Subaahu fanned unconscious Daman for a while and then he came to his senses. As he woke up he asked - "Where is my bow? And where Pushkal has gone?" Subaahu made him sit on the chariot and asked his army chief to organize his army in Kraunch system."
Seeing Subaahu's ocean like army, Shatrughn asked Sumati - "In which kingdom we nave arrived? Its army seems great in number." Sumati said - "We have come in Chakraankaa Nagaree. Here live such people who have become sinless by worshipping Vishnu. King Subaahu is the King of the same city. He loves his own wife only and never looks at any other woman. He listens only Vishnu related stories, never any other one. He never takes more than 1/6th part of his people's income. He always worships Braahman. There is nobody like him in might. At this time he has come here hearing his son's fall.

Shatrughn said to his army - "Subaahu has organized his army in Kraunch Vyooh (manner), who among you can break this Vyooh?"


Lakshmeenidhi vowed to break the Vyooh and went to fight. Suketu, Subaahu's brother, was standing in front, Lakshmeenidhi introduced himself as the son of king Janak and asked him to return the Yagya horse to them. But Suketu started showering arrows on Bharat's army. Lakshmeenidhi also shot several arrows at Suketu, killed his horses, cut his flag, killed his Saarathee and broke Suketu's bow. Now Suketu climbed down from his chariot and came to Lakshmeenidhi carrying his Gadaa. Both fought with Gadaa. Once Suketu caught Lakshmeenidhi's Gadaa and he hit Lakshmeenidhi's chest with the same Gadaa. Seeing his Gadaa in enemy's hands, Lakshmeenidhi thought to fight with hands and both started fighting with hands only. Fighting like thus they both got fainted."

Now Chitraang, Subaahu's son, came to fight. Pushkal came to face him. Chitraang flew his chariot in the sky. When Pushkal came down on the ground, he destroyed Chitraang's chariot and got ready to shoot an arrow to kill Chitraang. Chitraang said - "People come and go, I am not worried about that, but if I had not destroyed your this arrow I should be considered sinner." Pushkal also said - "If I do not take your life with this arrow then I should be counted as a sinner, and if I have worshipped Shree Raam faithfully then my speech should prove true." and immediately he shot an arrow to cut Chitraang's head, but Chitraang cut that arrow. Everybody got surprised to see this, but the then another surprising thing happened. The hinder part of the cut arrow fell on the ground, and the front part of the arrow, in which the arrowhead was still there, proceeded and cut Chitraang's head.

Subaahu started lamenting for his son. At that time Princes Vichitra and Daman came and consoled him saying - "Do not grieve so much for him, he is blessed who is killed in battleground. Please order us to fight and you yourself also rise to fight." They all again started fighting. Hanumaan saw Subaahu fighting filled with anger, so he came quickly towards him. Subaahu shot some arrows but Hanumaan caught them in between and broke them in several pieces. He tied Subaahu's chariot by his tail and flew away carrying it. Subaahu tried to cut his tail but Hanumaan then hit Subaahu's chest with his foot. Subaahu fell down and got unconscious.

In the same unconscious state he saw Raam in dream that Raam was doing a Yagya at the shore of Sarayoo River. Many Rishi are present there, and whatever things are in this world all have been given by Raam. He woke up and walked towards Hanumaan. He asked his sons also to stop fighting. He said - "Stop this fight. It was very injustice that you caught Raam's horse. He is Brahm in person and is beyond action and reason. He is not human being in spite of being a human being. Knowing Him in this form is Brahm Gyaan. I have understood this Tattwa now. My knowledge was destroyed because of Asitaang Muni's Shaap.And so he surrendered to Shatrughna.

This time Veermani himself came to fight with Shatrughn. Shatrughn used Aagneya Astra, then Veermani used Varun Astra, then Shatrughn used Vaayavya Astra, then Veermani used Parvat Astra, and then Shatrughn used Vajra Astra. Now Veermani lost control and used Brahmaastra. Seeing Brahm Astra coming Shatrughn used Mohan Astra which made Brahmaastra useless and made the king unconscious. This caused Shiv to intervene and fight with Shatrughn. This time Shiv made Shatrughn uncomfortable, so at Hanumaan's advice he remembered Raam. As he remembered Him, He came there in the same guise in which He took Deekshaa. Shatrughn got surprised to see Him in the battlefield.

Seeing Him Shatrughn got relieved and Hanumaan fell on His feet. Shiv also greeted Him and said

shiv - "I did all this to do good to my devotee. Please pardon me for this. I come to you to protect my devotee. In earlier times, this king did Tapasyaa after taking bath in Kshipraa River in Mahaakaal temple. At that time I gave him Var that "you will rule in Devpur. And till Raam's Yagya horse will come there, I will live there. I am bound to that Var. Now my work is finished. He will hand over you your horse and from now on he will serve you."

Raam said - "All Devtaa's duty is to protect their devotees. Thus what you did, was your duty. Shiv is in my heart, and I am in Shiv's heart. We both are the same. Who think that we are different they fall in Narak. My Bhakt worship you, and your Bhakt worship me."

Then Shiv also brought all of them alive and asked them to surrender to Raam. Shree Raam got disappeared from there. Hey Muni, Do not consider Raam a human being, He is omnipresent. Shankar also bade farewell to his Bhakt and said to him

Shiv- "Getting Raam is very difficult in this world, that is why now you surrender to Raam."

After saying this Shiv also got disappeared with his Paarshad from there. Blessed was Veermani who got Darshan of Raam. Veermani also accompanied Raam's procession of Yagya horse.

King Suratha then angrily relased the Pashupata weapon, causing countless ghosts, witches, and fiends to suddenly appear. Indeed, Hanuman was bound by that weapon of Lord Shiva. However, while remembering Lord Rama, Hanuman easily broke his bonds.Finally, Suratha put the weapon of Lord Rama upon his bow. Being bound by that weapon, Hanuman did not even try to free himself, out of respect for his master. Pushkala then came and attacked Suratha. After a breathtaking battle, Suratha made Pushkala faint upon the battlefield. At this, Shatrughna finally came and challenged Suratha. After a fierce fight, Suratha released an arrow that fell upon Shatrughna's chest, making him fall unconscious. Seeing this, the other warriors supporting Shatrughna fled. Sugriva then challenged King Suratha. Soon, Suratha was able to bind Sugriva with the weapon presided over by Lord Rama.Thereafter, in his court, Suratha told Hanuman,

Suratha-"Kindly remember Lord Rama, the protector of His devotees, so that He will come nere and release you. Otherwise, I will not free you, even after many, many years.Hanuman offered prayers to Lord Rama, begging for his release. He concluded by saying

Hanuman-"O Lord, I have been bound by Suratha's nooses. If You do not come and release me, the people of this world will joke about us. For this reason, please do not delay.

Lord Rama immediatley came, accompanied by Lakshman and Bharata, riding upon the Pushpaka chariot. Suratha offered his obeisances, hundreds of times. Rama then came and embraced the king. After doing so, He freed his dear devotees from their bondage. Indeed, all of the unconscious warriors quickly regained consciousness. After this was accomplished, Suratha gladly presented the challenge-horse to Rama, and begged for His forgiveness. After staying in Suratha's palace for three days, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya in the Pushpaka chariot. Putting Champaka in charge of the city, Suratha accompanied Shatrughna on his journey, protecting Rama's challenge-horse. After wandering at will, the horse finally came to the ashram of Valmiki Muni.

Hearing this Lav said - "You are Braahman's sons, you don't know the might of Kshatriya. Kshatriyas are famous for their might and Braahman are famous to eat food. Go and eat food offered by your mothers."

Munis' sons got silent at this and stood away from him. In the meantime Shatrughn's soldiers came there and seeing their horse tied there asked Lav

Soldiers- "Who has tied this horse here? On whom Yam Raaj is angry today?"

Lav said - "I have tied him here. Whoever will come to take it, my elder brother Kush will be angry at him."

Hearing Lav the soldiers thought, "He is only a child. We should not pay any attention to him." so they proceeded to free the horse. Seeing this Lav cut their arms. They went from there crying and told everything to Shatrughn."
