Hi.

Well done.

Thank you, Nick, number one.

Rakshasa.

What? This

On went the travellers greatly comforted and refreshed.

Now as they passed from place to place Rama heard many stories of the evil deeds of the monsters known as Rakshasas who were the inveterate foes of gods and men and especially of holy hermits and many were the appeals to Rama to free the forest from these dreadful beings.

One day the exiles came upon one of these monsters, whose terrible ugliness defies description, and who was holding spellbound with a single spear a great crowd of wild animals of the forest.

When he saw the beautiful princess, he at once snatched her up in his arms and turned to carry her off.

So he took the form of a warrior and visited the saint in his cell, leaving with him on his departure his sword in sacred trust.

The hermit was so careful to guard the treasure that he carried it with him wherever he went, and its possession made him so warlike and quarrelsome that he forsook the saintly life and fell a victim to his foes.

Rama smiled as he listened to the artless story, and gently told the princess that it was his bounden duty to act as guardian to the peaceful hermits of the forest, and that he meant to use his warlike weapon until the place was entirely freed from the Rakshasas.

So the years went by in combat and rest, effort and refreshment, facing of danger and winning of victory.

And if you think about it, almost every horror movie you've ever seen is a variation on stories A, B, C, and D.

Well, the Horror in the Heights, the monster in the Horror in the Heights is the Rakshasa, which is an Indian demon spirit.

that comes to you in the form of the person you trust the most.

Now that is a good

Therefore, I say, cunning best accomplishes difficult things.

Having heard these stories, the Rakshasa was much pleased and offered me his assistance, if I should acquire it.

At that moment, several pearls fell close beside us.

looking up to see whence they came i perceived a rakshas flying through the air carrying a woman who was struggling with him shall that monster carry off the lady before our eyes oh that i could fly to rescue her as i exclaimed thus my new ally without waiting to be entreated sprang into the air and calling out stop stop wicked wretch attacked and dragged down the other raptures he in defending himself in only a short distance from the ground let the lady fall and i caught her with outstretched arms in such a manner that though much shaken and alarmed she was not seriously injured I held her for a moment, insensible in my arms, while I gazed at the combatants.

They will carefully keep the secret.

pierced to the heart by the arrows of Kama, tied and bound by her looks and words as if with chains of iron, I had no power to refuse.

In turning to the two Rakshasas, I said, I have no choice here.

Whatever this fair lady commands must be done.

And when you think of the Raksasha, who is the shape-changing, tiger-headed creature of evil, this is the lord of all of them.

And he is followed by many Rakshashas.

And his deal is that he leads the Asuras against the Indian deities when they are battling.

So it's sort of like he will often battle against Indra or he will battle against Kshatriya.

On the 14th night of the war, Ghatotkacha let all of it loose completely.

He vanished from sight entirely, then reappeared wherever he chose.

He filled the sky with a storm of weapons and shrieking Rakshasas, raining down on soldiers who had nothing to fight back with.

Kaurava ranks broke and scattered in the dark, panic spreading faster than any blade could.

Duryodhana watched his army come apart and went straight to Karna.
