Sugreeva setting Lanka on fire

(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 75)

Sri Rama fighting

• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama waging war against Ravana in Lanka.

• Sugreeva setting Lanka on fire: Sugreeva ordered the vanaras to set Lanka on fire. In the evening the vanaras attacked Lanka with torches in hand. The guards fled. The vanaras then threw the fire towards the gates, streets and mansions. Mansions containing various gems, clothing, ornaments, cosmetics, weapons etc. was consumed by that fire. Women of Lanka started screaming and began to run to save themselves. The guards let loose the elephants and horses to save them from the fire. It appeared as if the time of dissolution has come upon Lanka. And at the same time the vanaras attacked the demons. Sri Rama stretched his bow and struck fear in the demons with the sound of its twang. Sri Rama tumbled down the main gate of the city with his arrows. Sugreeva ordered the vanaras to wage a war with the demons.
