Scene Description Scene from another of Ray's play, Laxmaner Shaktishel (The Magic Spear of Laxman) also published in the Nonsense Club. The first scene of the play depicts Ram with his brother Laxman and the vanar sena (monkey army), after having invaded the Lanka, recounts his dream of seeing Ravana climbing the tree and subsequently falling to his death, to which Rama's army replies that the dream must be true since the king has witnessed it himself. However, the army sees Ravana's chariot passing by, to which the king deduced that he must have 9 lives and it was Hanuman's fault of not having thrown his body in the sea, which was clearly dead in Rama's dream.(2/6)
