'Lakshmana's Laughter' is significant Telugu ballad. The only
Telugu ballad that challenges comparison with this is Urmila's sleep...
Lakshmana is an ideal brother and Urmila is an ideal wife.
Lakshmana and Urmila are ideal characters. The Andhra
woman is proud of them. It may be noted that Rabindranath Tagore
in one of his early essays in Prachin Sahitya strongly blamed the
poet Valmiki, for showing indifference towards Urmila and the con-
temporary Hindi poet Maithilisaran Gupta, taking his cue from Tagore
wrote saket a new Ramayana, laying stress on Lakshmana and
Urmila in place of Rama and Sita. The Andhra Ballads are more
remarkable in this light...the interest is maintained by an unstudied
poetry. "Meet my People".

"When surpanakha saw Rama by chance she fell in love with
him and solicited his hand. There was nothing wrong in this. Rama
did not reciprocate her love. There was nothing wrong in this either.
The brothers at first cut jokes at her expense when she continued to
exhibit her excessive love for Rama they punished her for her
impertinence by cutting off her nose and ears.
Shri C. Rajagoplachary justifies this behaviour of the brothers
in the following sentences:
“Some critic might ask whether it was proper thus to torment
a woman, especially a woman in love. But if we exercise our imagi-
nation and have before as a monster of ugliness we can understand
the situation. It is true that she could assume a charming form if she
chose but in her intoxication of lust, she seems to have omitted even
this allurement” (His Ramayana, Chapter 31)
Is ugliness a crime ? Is ugliness an object for merrument ? If
Surpanakha was really ugly was it her fault or of her creator ?
If Surpanakha was in truth a 'monster of ugliness' the broth-
ers, if they were kind hearted being Avathars, should have changed
 259
her in good looking girl, and not cut off her nose making an ugly girl
uglier.
This incident shows that the princes had neither culture nor
chivalry. After all Surpanakha was a woman, whatever might be her
looks and whatever might be her race".
Some believers in the Avathara aspect of Rama and Lakshmana
silently or openly approve this most dis - graceful conduct of the
brothers, presumably on the ground that avathars could do no wrong.
If faith and hero - worship deprives a man of his reason, and excess
of these virtues deprives him of even his common sense”. My studies
in the Ramayanas - by P.H. Gupta, Page 162, 163.
