 ‘Accept me as your slave, have mercy on me!’ so saying Ravana did the most unexpected thing. The mammoth egotist who stood there moments ago vanished into thin air. His pride shrunk to thinner than the thinnest of threads. He fell at the feet of Sita.

 A person who does not hesitate to stoop to the level of falling at someone’s feet should be expected to have done it either out of respect or out of love, as discussed in our last posting. It was neither out of respect nor out of love that Ravana did this. It was more out of impulse and running short of any other options to bring Sita to his way that he adopted this emotional blackmailing. Sita was not moved at all. ‘kalodum thodarndha nenjam kaRpin mEl kaNdadhu uNdO?’ she retorted. My will is as strong as the stone. And for me there is nothing stronger than my faultless chastity (to hold on to).

 This kind of an impulsive act became a routine for Ravana. He could not but place his head at the feet of Mythili, every time. It must have been gossiped about among the lower rungs. In the war council that Ravana convenes after Lanka is set fire by Hanuman and rebuilt, Ravana, as is wont of him tries to whip up passions. He sees the act of Hanuman as a challenge to the Rakshasa pride; as a shame on the entire race. A mere monkey could walk into their highly guarded country, converse with someone who is imprisoned, kill their kith and kin in large numbers, burn their country with the tail that was set ablaze, which was meant as a punishment, thus throwing the punishment back on their race and escape the best of rakshasa guards.

 The capturing of Hanuman, whom the rakshasas and Ravana took very lightly, turned out to be a long drawn out process, instilling fear in the minds of all. Actually that was what Hanuman intended. He was not ready to go back silently after the successful completion of his mission, as a mere errand boy. He wanted to make it very clear to the Rakshasa race and more importantly to Ravana, that there are others in this world who could counter them effectively, who could kill them, destroy their kith and kin and destroy their very country under their watchful eyes notwithstanding.

 Before Aksha breathed his last, even while he was alive and half-conscious, Hanuman held him by his head by one hand and the feet by another hand and as though he was holding the pestle and rubbed him hard against the ground until he was reduced to nothing more than a meatball and a skeleton and the earth was soaked with his blood. Indrajit turned particularly furious on this gruesome and the most insulting manner in which Aksha was killed.

 That clever name-dropping by Hanuman had the expected result. This is one of those places where Ravana’s mind shows through his face, despite himself. Ravana is a clever actor who very convincingly plays his part even while speaking utter falsehood. There are several occasions where Ravana does so. But this was a situation that he did not quite expect. The name of Vali caught him unawares. He who was seething like a volcano suddenly managed to wear an embarrassed smile. Hanuman did not fail to notice this. He laughed at Ravana.

 Now Ravana has no answer. He is not able to accept what Hanuman says, openly acknowledging his greatness. “It is not right for you to forfeit this (vast) fortune, which is an outcome of virtue (alone) or the capacity to preserve your life (for an inordinately long period of time), both of which have been acquired by you through the practice of austerities. The aforesaid extraordinary virtue (alone) is responsible even for your immunity, which you perceive, from death at the hands of gods including demons, occasioned by austerities.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kanda, Canto LI, Sloka 25 an 26)

 ‘I did so because that is the only way to see you. Your city is well guarded and none was prepared to show me to you and I resorted to killing just because I desired a meeting with you,’ said Hanuman half-jocularly and half- seriously. Ravana pronounced the death sentence on Hanuman. Vibishana wanted to secure his freedom. He had exhausted all other ways. There was only one way open to him now. He had to speak the language of Ravana. That was the only language that Ravana could understand.

 Hanuman quotes extensively from all holy books, cites examples – warnings – from history. He does not hesitate to recognise the great deeds of Ravana. ‘thErinaar palar kaamikkum sevviyOi’ is one of the epithets by which he addresses Ravana. ‘You who has achieved many a thing that even the wisest of the wise would desire to attain.’ The words of wisdom, given out in the most sincere manner just helped to fuel his anger and nothing more!

 The sudden change of posture, the sudden change of tone and the change in the attitude amused Maruti. ‘naaygan thoodhan nakkaan.’ Hanuman out laughed loudly. He knew what effect the name of Vali would bring about and it happened as precisely as he expected!

 Before answering the question, let us now go into the interview between Ravana and Hanuman that clearly establishes the volatile nature of Ravana and that brings out different shades of Ravana.

 “These tender soles (of yours) are being lovingly pressed with my heads. Show (your) grace to me at once; I am your obedient servant. Let not these words uttered by me pining from love fall flat (on your ears). It is well-known that Ravana salutes any woman whatsoever with his head bent low.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda, Canto LV, Sloka 35-36)
 The golden-knot of Kamban is untied here. Right on the first scene when Ravana is introduced in Aranya Kanda, he makes one point. ‘maadhar valiya nedum pulaviyilum vaNangaadha maguda nirai’
 Emotional blackmailing. That’s what we call such an act now. Just think over and recall the style of his opening words! And compare that with what he is doing now! Who could have anticipated such a turn! Valmiki gives us a similar portrayal in the first interview, moments after his arrival in Lanka.
 is the attribute by which he presents Ravana to us for the first time. Our society, as evidenced by all classic and devotional literature, has accepted this ‘falling at the feet’ in a most personal circumstance, namely to please her during the ‘mock resentment’ when in wooing. Ravana is said to be so hard-hearted as not to stoop even at such a time. And what happens to that reputation now! He is at the feet of someone who really hates him. He is begging for her love. And he has fallen at her feet. Only a perverted hysteric can be this unpredictable.

 ‘endru oruvan il urai thavaththiyai,’ (it was on that) day when you brought a woman (who is immersed deep in the penance of chastity) belonging to another house ‘irangaai,’ without any sympathy ‘van thozhilinaai,’ by a violent act, ‘marai thurandhu’ violating all the codes of conduct specified in the Vedas, ‘sirai vaithaahi’ (brought here and) kept her in prison, ‘andru ozhivadhu aayina arakkar pugazh ayaa!’ it was on that day that the reputation of the race was brought down to the dust (by you), Sire! ‘pun thozhilinaal isai poruththal pulamaithO?’ Are we not seeking to win accolades (by committing an offence first in coveting Sita and now by planning to kill her husband, instead of restoring her to him) by acts of sin? Are we wise?
