Ram Vijaya-Chapter 21.

Listening to her yells Trishira , Khur and Dushan came to help her witn fourteen thousand demons. " Look at my nose and ears," she said to them, " There live three human beings, two males and one female. The man, who called himself Lakshuman, has disfigured me at the instigation of his brother and sister-in-law. You must now go there and cut off their heads and guts, so that I may drink their blood and refresh myself with it.
Trishira, Khur and Dushan, having thought it below their dignity to go and fight with those human beings, selected fourteen powerful demons and sent them to Panchawati with Surpanakha, but Rama cut off their heads with one arrow. Surpanakha fled in alarm and informed Trishira, Khur and Dushan of what had happened. Whereupon they marched against Rama with an army of demons but they were also killed by the prince with his arrow in a moment.

Surpanakha fled to Lanka in consternation and, showing her nose and ears to her brother, Ravana, informed him that Trishira, Khur and Dushan had been killed by Rama with fourteen thousand demons.

Ravana was greatly alarmed at the sad news and, having called upon his uncle, Maricha, said to him, " You see, Rama has killed Trishira, Khur and Dushan and disfigured Surpanakha. If this enemy is allowed to go unnoticed, he will even kill me one day or other. I have, therefore, made up my mind to carry off Sita, his wife, to Lanka and kill Rama and Lakshuman. Please, therefore, be a beautiful haran* and frolic at the paranakutika of Rama ; and when he comes with his dhanushaban f to kill you, rim to the heart of the forest. Rama will pursue you ; and as soon as he is separated from Sita, I shall carry her off to Lanka."

"It is sinful to covet one s wife," replied Maricha," and if you carry her off, you will lose your life and everything. I, therefore, advise you to change your mind and attend to your affairs."

At this advice Ravana got enraged and said, " It is a bad thing to advise me that way. It is your duty to help me on such occasions. I, therefore, command you to come with me and do what I tell you to do."

Whereupon Maricha accompanied Ravana to Panchawati with the greatest reluctance.
