AFTER the destruction of Ravana at Rama's
hands, Nikasha, Ravana's mother, began to run
away for fear of her life. Lakshmana' said to Rama:
"Revered brother, please explain this strange thing
to me. This Nikasha is an old woman who has
suffered a great deal from the loss of her many
sons, and yet she is so afraid of losing her own life
that she is taking to her heels!" Rama bade her
come near, gave her assurance of safety, and asked
her why she was running away. Nikasha answered
"O Rama, I am able to witness all this lila of Yours
because I am still alive. I want to live longer so that
I may see the many more things You will do on
this earth."
