Ravana is overwhelmed by grief on hearing of his last remaining son's death. Then furious with rage, he rushes with his upraised sword at sita, who calmly awaits her fate seated in her grove, but he is restrained by his minister suparsva. In order to intimidate rama for his own going forth on the morrow, he decides to send out his army yet again to the accompaniment of war-drums and trumpets being beaten and blown, while his own bow is made ready. From mewar ramayana. Sahibdin, udaipur, 1652. British library add. Ms 15297(1), f. 128r. Date: 1652. Collection: British Library.
