Sumana the Banshee

 

Agudumba continued to tell the donkey the legendary story about the abdication of Prince Rama of the Saro Kingdom.

The King of Saro Kingdom, Shicha King, inherited the blood of Aryans and was very kind-hearted. His eldest son Rama was also a descendant of Aryans, so he dared to endure hardship and hard work and did not pursue fame and fortune.

Agudengba said: Rama gave way to Bharata, the son of Jikayi, the third concubine of the Ten Chariot Kings. Bharata was unwilling to take away his brother's throne, but Rama persuaded his younger brother to be filial and obey his father's orders, which would benefit the country. People, don’t refuse.

Rama took his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshman into exile, walking from place to place in the forest, living a hard and miserable life. After more than thirteen years of hard work, they can go back after reaching fourteen years in a few months. Just then, they ran into trouble again.

Subhana, the sister of the ten-headed demon king Ravana, went to play in the forest where Rama lived. She saw the handsome and beautiful Prince Rama and fell in love with him immediately.

Subana is an extremely ugly witch with bird's claws and her voice sounds like a crow. She transformed into a beautiful woman and walked coquettishly towards Rama, wooing him and asking him to marry her. Rama loved his wife very much and never thought of marrying another woman, even if she was more beautiful than a deity, so he politely rejected her. Subhana was so angry that she immediately returned to her original form and threatened Rama that if he did not marry her, she would kill Sita.

Rama saw that it was the demon Subana, and knew that he was in trouble. Subana's brother, the ten-headed demon king, was extremely cruel and barbaric. He had ten heads and twenty arms. He could use various weapons and had great magical powers. , annoyed his sister, he will take revenge. So he persuaded Subana to find another person.

Just then, Rama's brother Lakshmana came over. When Subhana saw that Lakshman was as handsome as Rama, she fell in love with him again and proposed to Lakshman. When Lakshman heard this, he became angry. He pulled out a knife and pointed it at Subana and said, "Who wants an ugly woman like you? Go back!"

Both Rama brothers rejected her love. Subhana was so angry that she cursed and wanted to swallow them with her mouth wide open. Lashman jumped up to catch her and cut off her nose and ears.

Subana covered her bloody face and went to complain to her third brother Gara. Her third brother was also a demon king, and he became furious when he saw his sister's miserable state. Immediately fourteen thousand demons were sent to kill Rama brothers. But all these fourteen thousand demons were shot dead by Rama brothers.

So Jala and Subhana led more demons to swarm in to avenge Brother Rama.

Rama and Lakshman knew that today's battle needed to be dealt with carefully, so they hid Sita. Then the two brothers climbed up the mountain and pulled up the divine bow and arrows. Divine arrows flew like rain at Jialuo's demon soldiers. Wherever the demons could stop them, most of them were shot to death. The rest fled away, no matter how Jialuo and Subana yelled and cursed, it had no effect.

Jala and Subhana were so angry that they screamed and each brandished their weapons to kill Rama and Lakshman. Rama fights against Kala, Lakshman fights against Subhana, and the four of them fight in the forest. Jara Na was Rama's opponent, and he was killed in just a few blows.

When Subana saw her third brother being killed, she had no intention of fighting anymore. She stopped fighting and flew into the sky, crying all the way to Lanka, where her eldest brother Lavana lived.

After listening to Suba's cry, Ravana was so angry that his third brother was killed and his sister was injured. He immediately ordered his troops to take revenge on Rama brothers. His minister Maurica was a cunning and resourceful man, so he advised him: "Brother Rama is so brave that he is the enemy of the whole world. We can only defeat him wisely, not forcefully." So he spoke into Ravana's ear. A plan.

Lavana beamed with joy, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, just do as you said."

On this day, Rama, Lakshman and Sita were sitting in front of the house chatting. Suddenly, a beautiful sika deer appeared not far in front of their bamboo house. This deer is so beautiful, its eyes are like gems, its two multi-pronged golden horns are shaking, and the patterns on its body are sparkling.

Sita exclaimed happily: "What a beautiful deer! It would be great to catch it and raise it."

Rama also thought the deer was beautiful. Seeing that his wife wanted it so much, he picked up a rope and said, "Okay, I'll catch it and give it to you."

Roshman felt doubtful and said, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful deer? Maybe it's the devil in disguise?"

Rama said: "How can such a thing happen? You take care of Sita here, and I will catch the deer." After Rama finished speaking, he chased the deer.

As expected, the deer was a conjuration of Ravana's minister Maulija, with the intention of luring Rama into being deceived. As soon as he saw Rama chasing after him, the sika deer ran towards the forest. Now the deer ran into the forest and disappeared, and now it appeared in front of Rama; now it was farther away from Rama, and now it was closer to him. Luring Rama further and further away from home.

Rama was never willing to shoot a deer with an arrow, he wanted to catch it alive. But the deer was very agile, and Rama tried his best to catch it, but Rama was about to catch it, but it escaped again. He was a little tired from running, so he leaned against a tree to take a rest. The sika deer appeared on his left again. Rama couldn't care less about catching anyone alive, so he shot an arrow at the deer. He only heard a scream, and the sika deer fell to the ground and resumed its original form as the demon Molija.

Before he died, Molizza imitated Rama's voice and shouted loudly: "Lashman, come and save me! Come and save me!"

Rama was startled and knew that he had been fooled, so he went up and killed the demon with a sword, and then ran towards home.

Molizza's voice passed through the sky and reached the ears of Sita and Lakshman. Sita was very panicked. She said to Lakshman: "This is Rama's cry for help. He must be in trouble. Run and help him!"

Roshman was also very anxious, but he was also a little doubtful. What a brave man his brother was. How could he cry out for help? Could it be the devil again? Besides, it was my duty to protect Sita, so he stood still.

Sita was angry: "It seems that your love for your brother is fake. You saw him in danger but you refused to save him."

Roshman said in embarrassment: "What will you do if I leave? My brother has given me the responsibility of protecting you?"

Sita said: "Don't worry about me. If you really love your brother and me, go and save your brother!"

It seemed that if he didn't go, his sister-in-law would become suspicious, so Lakshman immediately ran in the direction of Rama.

Now Sita was left alone. She was a little scared, and she was thinking about Rama. She was about to go back into the house, when a monk came to her out of nowhere with a begging bowl. Just as Sita was about to ask a question, the monk threw away his begging bowl and instantly transformed into a tall demon with ten heads and twenty arms. It turned out that the monk was the phantom of the ten-headed demon king Ravana, who came to capture Sita after Lakshman was deceived.

Sita was so horrified that she could not speak. Ravana picked her up by the waist and flew into the air. Sita struggled desperately, crying and cursing. She grabbed her crown and dropped it to the ground, so that Rama could know the direction in which she was taken.

Ravana took Sita to Lanka Island and forced Sita to marry him. Sita refused to follow even to death. Subhana's eyes turned red when she saw Sita, and she wanted to bite her to death. But Ravana stopped her. He locked up Sita and sent people to strictly guard her. He also sent people to persuade Sita to obey him, but Sita sternly refused.

When Rama saw Lakshman approaching him, he became anxious and asked, "Why did you abandon Sita and run out without permission?"

Roshman said, "Aren't you calling for help? My sister-in-law was worried and forced me to look for you."

Rama stamped his feet and said, "I'm calling for help. It's the demon Molizza imitating my voice. We've been fooled! Go home now. How's it going?"

By the time they arrived home, Sita had disappeared. They were so anxious that they shouted at the top of their lungs and looked everywhere for her, but there was no sign of her.

Suddenly, Rama discovered a shiny object at the edge of the forest. He walked over and saw that it was the crown that his wife often wore. He knew something had happened to Sita, and she must have been kidnapped by a group of ten-headed demon kings. I felt a pain in my heart and almost fainted. Laishman quickly supported his brother and said, "Don't be too anxious. Let's go to Lanka Island quickly and try to rescue my sister-in-law."

Agudengba said to the donkey Mahu: Emperor Zetian also learned about this when he was inspecting the Salo Kingdom. Di Zetian is the protector, but he still did not help. He wanted to continue to examine how Rama would deal with difficulties.

Agudumba sang a popular Aryan song, "Rama Speaks to Me":

 

Life is a pot of wine, the intensity of which is not up to you.

It all depends on how you taste it;

A pot of tea among the flowers, I can't help but float up and down.

It depends on how you look at it.

 

Some people say: In this life of a person,

Our destiny is determined at birth,

As we age, our fate is determined.

No one is above everything,

No one can turn things around,

We are all bound by destiny to survive.

What kind of life do you have?

It depends on what kind of background you have.

 

Rama said: In this life of a person,

We are born with challenges,

Victory was determined by our indomitability.

No one is afraid of evil spirits,

No one will lose their confidence,

We all survive by overcoming difficulties,

Have the power to get out of trouble,

It depends on what kind of determination you have.
