thundering of the clouds

Sri Rama had reached the Sumeru Mountain with his army. He was busy working out strategies for war. Suddenly he heard the thundering of the clouds in the southern sky. He said to Vibhishan-

"Look Vibhishan, it seems as if it is going to rain. Do you hear the thundering of the clouds."

Vibhishan then replied-

"Lord, this is neither the thunder of the clouds nor the lightning. These sounds are coming from the palace of Ravan where he is enjoying dance and music. It is the drums that sound like thundering clouds and the bright reflection of light comes from the ear-rings of Mandodari."

Sri Rama smiled and shot an arrow in that direction. One shot of his arrow was enough to topple the crown of Ravan and remove the ear-rings of Mandadori. Accomplishing this, the arrow returned back to Sri Rama's quiver.
