लङ्काप्रवेश (laGkApraveza)

 
Mahabharata
English
Laṅkāpraveśa (“the entry into Laṅkā”). § 536 (cf. Rāmopākhyānap.). Rāvaṇa made Laṅkā yet more strong and armed his warriors. Rāma sent the monkey Aṅgada as messenger to Rāvaṇa. Aṅgada delivered the message of Rāma: “Release Sītā.” Rāvaṇa became furious. Aṅgada leaped up with four Rākshasas and then let them fall
then he leaped over the walls of Laṅkā and informed Rāma. Rāma, Lakshmaṇa, Vibhīshaṇa, and Jāmbavat with monkeys and bears attacked Laṅkā and pulled down the fortifications. Then the host of the Rākshasas set out at the command of Rāvaṇa. A great battle ensued
at last Rāma withdrew his troops (III, 284).
