Ramalinga And Ramayana Recital

Ramalinga was narrating the episodes with an excellent expression and mannerism in a right modulation.

Nowhere, Kanchana Mala looked to be satisfied as she was commenting ‘You are not satisfying me.

’ He advanced with the story narration about Ravanasura kidnapping Seetha, Rama killing Vali, deploying Hanuman to Lanka with the assistance of Sugreeva.

Again Mala screamed, “I am not satisfied with your performance

'' Controlling himself from exploding with anger, Ramalinga convinced her “Kanchana Mala! You are telling me that you are not satisfied with my performance.

However, this would be the best of performance on earth.

OK.

Let us leave that.

Now get ready, you will witness Ramayana happening in front of you.

'' “Hehehehe…yeah please continue, I am in fact waiting for that,'' she said.

Ramalinga jumped on to her selectively decorated cot and said, “This is how Hanuman jumped on to the Peak of Mahendra Mountain.

'' Standing erect on the bed he took another flight and landed on another cot, “Like this Hanuma jumped on to another mountain’s peak.

'' From there he jumped close to Kanchana Mala and started throwing powerful fists on her back, “this was how Hanuman hit Lankini, who blocked his way from entering Lanka

'' Mala started shouting to the top of her voice, “Oh God! Mother! This man is killing me.

'' Ramalinga in a commanding tone, “I told you not to hinder me in the middle.

Now shut your mouth, Listen completely…'' jumping like an ape, Ramalinga took out a lighted wisp hanging from the wall.

“Hanuman returning from the Ashoka garden after visiting Seetha started torching Lanka and its men like this…'' he gave fire to Mala’s clothes and ignited almost all the clothes and inflammables in the house.

While Mala was attempting to extinguish fire on her clothes, Ramalinga repeated beating her all over stating that was how Hanuman thumped the demons in Lanka.

Mala other than shouting loudly and protecting her from the fire could not do anything.

Few seconds later, after lighting all the household material, Ramalinga coolly went to the backyard stood near the well, “this is how Hanuman put out the fire set to his tail by the demons'' and started taking bath drawing water from the well.

Looking at the house in fire, Kanchana Mala went astray and ran out of the house like a mad woman.

Ramalinga’s sarcastic comments irked her further more, “Who else can narrate Ramayana so lively Kanchana Mala, did you enjoy that?'' Cursing, yelling, screaming Kanchana Mala said, “fraud, cheat, he said he will recite Ramayana for me and set the house on fire.

'' With disturbed clothes and hair, she ran to he local Court of Law and approached the judge.

She sought justice from the judge explaining the whole episode.

Meanwhile, Ramalinga reached there without any tension appearing on his face.

The Judge questioned Ramalinga, “What is your answer to her allegations?'' Ramalinga folded hands at the Judge and appealed, “Your Majesty! I do not bear any fault with me.

It was she, who wished to witness a lively Ramayana recital to her ‘satisfaction’.

'' Describing all the past and present deeds of Kanchana Mala, Ramalinga said, “Mr Justice! I believe I am not at fault.

In case the honorable court finds any, I am ready to take the punishment.

'' The Judge understood that it was the wicked and proud nature of Kanchana Mala, which brought her to this turn of life.

  He scolded her for cheating and humiliating scholars and learned persons in the name of Ramayana recital and rewards.

The judgement made it clear that Ramalinga did not have any fault to punish and freed him.

 In addition to this, the verdict released all the learned men who were serving her as servants and slaves.

   Ramalinga received all the appreciations from the people of the town.
