The Rama Ravana battle

Loosing arrows at each other Sri  Rama and Ravana performed a fierce battle. When Sri Rama began to cut off Ravana's head, another head started to crop up in its place. The fierce encounter continued thus for seven days.

 And Sri Rama became anguished as to the reason for not able to kill Ravana with his arrows, which killed many warriors like Mareecha, Khara, Vali,  by which seven Sala trees and the mountains were burst and by which the ocean was shaken up.

There was no respite in battle between Sri Rama and Ravana, either in the might or in the day-time or for an hour or even for a instant.

Not beholding the victory of Sri Rama in the combat between Sri Rama and Ravana, Matali advised Sri Rama to use Brahmastra on Ravana, as his end time has arrived.

Then Sri Rama  discharged the Brahmastra, the ultimate weapon, aiming at Ravana's chest, which tore off the heart of that evil-minded Ravana. Seeing Ravana fallen down on earth, the surviving demons were panic stricken and ran away to all sides.

Tormented by the Vanaras, the demons rushed back with panic towards Lanka, with faces looking miserable and tears flowing down, their supporter having been killed.

Roaring shouts of joy, quite rejoiced as they were, and proclaiming Sri Rama's victory and the killing of Ravana in his hands, the Vanaras behaved like conquerors.

Pouring over the chariot of Sri Rama quite fascinating shower of flowers, which was difficult to be accomplished, fell from the heavens to the earth on that occasion.

Though Ravana obtained many Divine Astras and boons, it was proved repeatedly that he cannot withstand Sri Rama. 

His ego, his passion for Seeta never allowed him part from her.  He lost his brothers, sons, close relatives, friends and host of army of demons just because of his passion for Seeta.

One Sanskrit Sloka from Vivekachudamani describe that

शब्दादिभिः पंचभिरेव पंचपंचत्वमापुः स्वगुणेन बद्धाः ।
कुरंग मातंग पतंग मीन भृंगा नरः पंचभिरंचितः किम् ॥

The five senses are sound, touch, sight, taste and smell. Animals that are slaves of any one of them often pay the price by their life.

A deer follows the sound (of its calf) and becomes a prey. An elephant is enslaved by its vulnerability of touch behind the head. A moth is driven to the flame by its sight. A fish is baited by its longing for taste. A bee loses its life when it gets trapped in the lotus which attracted it by smell.

However, humans have weakness for all the above traps.  Then how careful he should be?
