RAVANA'S FALL

After sunset both the armies went to their respective camps.

Lord Rama sat down to discuss with his generals how Ravana could be killed Ravan's death was indeed difficult to imagine as he had the power to recover any lost part of his body.

Vibheeshan told Rama, "Ravana has a boon because of which one cannot kil him. Hit at his navel if you want to kill him. This is the only way to slay him. Ravana's life is stored in his navel."

Next day many demons of Ravana's army were killed by the skillful warriors of Rama. But Ravana's chariot could not be traced for a while. 

When Rama located Ravana, he took the Brahmasatra which was given to him by sage Agatha and charged it with powerful mantras. Then he shot the powerful arrow at Ravana's navel.

Ravana fell down at once and died. At the fall of their leader, the demons surrendered.

At last Ravana was dead, and the war was over.

After the war over, arrangement were made to make Vibheeshan the king of lanka.

Rama knew that Vibheeshan would look after his kingdom well and would be a just and dangerous king.

In a grand ceremony, Vibheeshan was crowned the king of lanka. Rama and Lakshmana stayed in Lanka for the celebrations.

In this way, Rama freed Lanka from the evil rule of Ravana who had ruled untouched for a long time. Blind with arrogance over his invincibility, Ravana had imprisoned even gods and had put them in servitude.

Vishnu incarnated in a human from because Ravana had a boon that neither gods nor demons could kill him. Thinking of men and animals as too insignificant to harm him, he didn't ask for immunity against them.

After Ravana's defeat, the people of Lanka happily lived under the able administration of Vibheeshan.
