Rāvaṇa then sent for Pātālarāvaṇa and his brother Kumbhodara. Pātālarāvaṇa felt sorry at the pitiable plight of Laṅkā and both the Rāvaṇas sat together to discuss future plans. Though they had lost a major portion of their army, Rāvaṇa suggested they should fight with the rest of the army and kill Rāma. Pātālarāvaṇa was to kill Rāma and Laṅkā-Rāvaṇa was to marry Sītā. Pātālarāvaṇa said that it was unwise to continue the fight with a small army but promised he would make a trial by using his magic powers. - [Previous: c8.2103](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2103) - [Next: c8.2105](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2105) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2104](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2104) · Pramāṇa
