Hanuman bringing mountain of herbs from the Himalayas (second time)
(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 101)
• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama waging war against Ravana in Lanka.• Hanuman bringing herbs from the Himalayas: Seeing Lakshmana lying unconscious in a pool of blood, Sri Rama lamented miserably. He said he does not have the energy to fight anymore seeing the condition of Lakshmana. He does not want the kingdom anymore. Relatives can be found but not a brother similar to Lakshmana. As Lakshmana has followed him to the forest, he will now follow Lakshmana to the abode of Yama. Sushena told Sri Rama that Lakshmana is still alive. He then instructed Hanuman to go to the Oushadhi mountain, which Jambavan has already told earlier, and bring the herbs called Vishalyakarani, Sanjeevakarani and Sandhani. Hanuman went to the mountain and not being able to identify the herbs, brought the whole mountain peak to Sushena. Sushena took the herbs, crushed them and administered them to Lakshmana. Inhaling the smell of the herbs, Lakshmana was healed and rose up. The vanaras rejoiced. Sri Rama embraced him and told that without Lakshmana his life, victory or Sita does not have any purpose. Lakshmana said that Sri Rama should not speak like that for his sake but keep his words of destroying Ravana as soon as possible.
