17.


"'If the gods do not bring Sita back to me unharmed, o Lakshmana, I shall blot out the three worlds,' he cried, his eyes flashing with wrath. 'You will see my arrows fill the sky, stopping the planets in their courses, holding back the wind, darkening the sun and the moon. I shall shatter the crests of the mountains, dry up the lakes and drain the ocean! No being will escape, neither demon, spirit, nor man. If they do not bring back my beloved, I will lay waste the universe and all that is in it!"

    -Rama (The Ramayana)
