The good old tradition has it; a section of the people is won over by the ruling class and kept contented as long of course it does not outlive its utility for the latter’s purpose. The urge for freedom or the aspiration for a wholesome life of the people has no relevance to the scheme of the ruling class. Mareech got a fresh lease of life through the grace of Ravana, the King of Lanka. Therefore, Mareech had to play a phantom deer and then had to lay down his life in the service of Ravana. The legend of Mareech is being lived throughout the history. For example, Gregory of America and Iswar of Bengal. Gregory chooses the way of self-annihilation. Otherwise he would have been a part of the American drama in Vietnam. Iswar had to betray his class because his father and he happened to be in the good book of his landlord. Iswar however fought back and recovered his class instinct. The magician is playing his tricks. Characters from the legend and from the history are all assembled. In this game pivoting round the story of Mareech, it is foredoomed that all be destroyed. But Iswar revolts. So as Gregory. Even Mareech follows suit. The bewildered magician invokes Valmiki, the author of Ramayana, who has to rush up to manage.
