Lk12. Ravana Attacks Kubera

LAVA KUSA (UTTARAKANDA) With his army Ravana marched, Set to conquer the entire world, Crossing cities, groves, rivers, Forests, hills and mountains. Mount Kailasa he reached And Yaksas he challenged. His army fought with Pestles, Swords, javelins and iron clubs. Ravana at first observed When his army killed Or wounded many Yaksas Who ran for their lives. On both sides, the loss Was very heavy to assess, And Ravana took up fight When the time was right. Many Yaksas were tired And fell on the ground. Some were still fighting, While many were escaping. Because of Brahma's boon, Ravana couldn't be slain Though wounded he was By the sword of enemies. It was hit and run game For yaksas just this time As they couldn't face Raksas' might in the race. Their weapons they threw And from battle field flew Hiding themselves in caves And rushing thro' rivers. Even the fresh army of Kubera Could not fight to kill Ravana, And they could do very little, But finally lost in the battle.
