Meanwhile, the only survivor from the army at Janasthana, a warrior named Akampana, fled to Lanka and informed Ravana about the destruction of his army. The incensed Ravana wanted to immediately

I have no love at all. I selfishly go to Vrindavan, just thinking of how much benefit I can get. Thinking of whatever little bit of mercy and dust I can get, so that I can be delivered from all this suffering in the material world. It is selfish motivation. I have no love for Vrindavan.
