Ravana thinks of Mahiravana

Ravana was not sure whom to send to battle. All the great heroes were no longer alive. His mother, came to him. She said I had tried to talk sense to you, but you did not listen. Vibhishana spoke to you, but you kicked him. There is only one option left. If you remember, you had gone to conquer the nether world. There you had a great son called Mahiravana. He will be able to help you.

Ravana thought of Mahiravana. He ruled over the nether world. A devotee of Goddess Kali, he was an expert in magic. Ravana remembered that Mahiravana had said that if Ravana thought of him, he would come.

Ravana closed his eyes and started thinking about Mahiravana.

Mahiravana started looking around. Who was thinking off him? He realized it was Ravana. He quickly went and greeted his father. Ravana told him what had happened to Lanka, so far.

Mahi said You should have thought of me before Rama and Lakshmana had crossed the ocean. I would have killed them there. I can capture Rama and Lakshmana and no will realize my work. You live with Sita. I will help you.

At Rama's camp, Vibhishana wondered what was happening. He decided to inquire. He took the form of a bird and flew to Ravana's court to hear what was being discussed.

He saw Mahiravana there in the court of Ravana. Not liking this one bit, Vibhishana came back and reported to Rama what he had seen. He said Ravana had sent for his son Mahiravana and the two were discussing how to tackle the enemy.

Vibhishana said Mahiravana was an expert in magic and illusion. He lives in the nether world. Gods fear him when he goes to battle. Mahamaya is there in there nether world with him, What ever he wishes is granted. All need to be careful here. All need to stay up and beware.

Hanumana said he would stay up the night and kill Mahiravana when he came.

Vibhishana said that may be true but I am very restless. I will not have any peace of mind before the night passes.
