Preface:
The story is an reinterpretation of the almost lost treasure created by my grand father the scholar (Late) G Seshadri Ayyangar Swami and retold by my uncle S .Srinivasan who had interpreted the same in English and who along with his brother and my father S.Govindan are motivation to this .I have always been awestuck by the skillful powers of Indrajith (Ravana's son) described by Sage Valmiki and hence the retelling of the story centre's around the way strategies evolved to eliminate him and make the preparation for the mega what i call as blockbuster battle between Rama and Ravana.

Ravana says : My son Indrajith has invisible powers and is unconquerable.
Ravana's minister says: Hanuman because of the benedictions of Surya ,Agni and Mahadeva is also unconquerable .
Then comes the reply from another of Ravana's General:
He was responsible for the death of the valiant Vali who was endowed with the undaunted power of India
There is a thunder in the sky and Ravana and his team peaks from the window to see what is happening .

Vibhishana and Hanuman come towards Lakshmana and takes him away and its late evening and battle for the day ends.
