The Life of Rama (Ramagean)

Sida bid farewell to dead

Hanuman tell Aongkod and Chompuparn to wait at Mt.Hemthirun. He then fly over the ocean to Lhongar city by himself.

A female giant called "Piser Samut"(Ocean's butterfly) whom guarding the area saw a great monkey fly over, she swing the club violently try to smash down Hanuman while open her jaw try to bite him.

Hanuman fly right into her mouth, slide down into her belly and use his trident cut her guts out then open the belly, dash outside and leave her to death.

At night, Hanuman reach a cottage of a great hermit "Narod". He transformed himself into a wild white monkey to ask a way to Lhongar, pretent wanting to tour around the city. PhraRorsree Narod tell him the route and ask him to rest overnight at the cottage.

Hanuman fear that the hermit could be on the same side with the giant, he try to challenge him. He then enlarge himself as big as the cottage. A hermit recite the spells to enlarge the cottage, but Hanuman keep enlarge his body to fit the cottage.

A hermit known that this wild monkey want to challenge him. He recite the spell of rains to pour down on Hanuman, a monkey fear the cold and losing his power, his body return to normal size. A hermit shown kindness, stop the rain and call him to sit by the bonfire, a monkey then fall as sleep.

PhraRorsree Narod want to teach Hanuman a lesson to remember. He thrown his wand into the pond and chant spells to change it into leeches.

At dawn, Hanuman wash his face at the pond, a leech jump out grab on his chin. More he try to pull it out, the longer it become.

Hanuman give up, ask the hermit to help. PhraRorsree Narod ignored Hanuman for a while to teach him some manner while suffering, then the hermit chant a spells return all leeches back to his wand. Hanuman learned how powerful of this hermit, he fear and bid farewell.

Hanuman transformed back to himself, fly over to Lhongar city. The giant "Ser-Mueng" guarding the city challenge Hanuman on his way. 8 arms swing massive weapons, a ferociously fight try to take down the great monkey.

Hanuman dodge over, look for an opening for close combat. He jump upon the giant's shoulder, use the trident stabs the giant to her death.

That night, every single lives are fallen as sleep by the spells of Hanuman. A great monkey searched for Sida all over the city, went through every castles, but couldn't find her. He return to the hermit PhraRorsree Narod to ask, the hermit tell him that Sida is imprisoned in the park of Lhongar.

Hanuman transformed himself into a wild forest monkey, sneak inside the park. He see one young woman sitting with a long faced inside the palace. Her appearance is beautiful more than any women of the three worlds. Hanuman is certain that she is Sida. He concealed himself within the Asoka tree, wait for the late night to come to approach her.

On Tossagun side, since he had kidnapped Sida. He had beg her to accept his love, made a promise that he would bring the greatest items of all 3 worlds at her feet. But everytimes, Sida stand firm, for all her life or next, she will love only PhraRahm.

Sida break a branch of the tree, stab it to the ground and scold at it as Tossagun, for that he didn't know what's right or wrong. Tossagun can't touch Sida, because her body is protected by a blazing flames. Countless of times the great giant had dissapointed, he blame the servants for they must convince Sida, there will be punishment otherwise.

All the servants of Tossagun scolds at Sida, that she didn't accept their king. By middle of the night, Sida sneak outside to Asoka tree, bemoan of how she can't see a way to be rescue by PhraRahm, she had to endured Tossagun everyday, as low as the servants insulted her pride. She rather die than live.

Sida tie the robe over the tree, ready to hang herself. When Sida jump down from the tree, Hanuman see it with shocked, he jump swiftly toward her to untied the robe, lower Sida to the ground.

Sida is angry when a wild monkey try to stop her. Hanuman then transformed back to himself, given a ring and robe which belong to her. Tell Sida that he is PhraRahm's soldier, come to deliver a news.

Sida is happy but still doubt, this could be one of Tossagun's plot.

Hanuman then tell her the story of when PhraRahm and Sida first met each other, her doubt is now gone, cry out missing PhraRahm. Hanuman ask her to sit on his bare hand, he will take her back to PhraRahm.

By the pride of a lady, Sida denied of one reason.

"I am difficult for i am a woman, never free of doubt. Once a giant had brought, now a monkey will take. God and deva would curse me."

Sida entrust her words to PhraRahm, ask him to march armies to slay Tossagun and rescue her by himself. In future, there'll be no stain words that she traveled alone with giant or monkey which could spoil PhraRahm's reputation. Hanuman asked her to take care of herself then leave Lhongar city.
