be brought before him. Bibh墨峁�a峁嘺 offers some advice to
R膩vana but the latter orders him to stop. R膩vana
contemptuously asks Hanuman his name and the reason
why he entered the private quarters. After telling his
parentage and name, Hanuman begins to deliver the
commands of R膩ma; but R膩vana feels indignant and
orders the monkey to be killed. On being told that
messengers were never to be killed, R膩vana prepares to
hear the message which is that under any circumstance
R膩ma is going to kill him. R膩vana laughs at this and
boasts of his strength; but Hanuman asks him why it
was then that S墨t膩 was stealthily carried away. Bibh墨峁�a峁嘺
also repeats the question and advises R膩va峁嘺 to return
S墨t膩. R膩vana, however, abuses him and speaks slightingly
of R膩ma. When Hanuman pays him back in the same
coin, he orders Hanuman to be sent away after setting
fire to his tail. R膩vana asks Hanuman to tell R膩ma to
offer him (i. e., R膩vana) a great battle, at which Hanuman
retorts that Rama will destroy the whole city and kill
R膩vana. After Hanuman is gone Bibh墨峁�a峁嘺 again offers
his advice to return S墨t膩 and thus avoid a fierce conflict
with a strong enemy. R膩vana accuses his brother of
espousing the cause of the enemy and orders his removal.
Bibhi峁�a峁嘺 tells R膩va峁嘺 to suppress his anger and passion,
and sets out to go to Rama and try to save the race of
the R膩k峁�asas. (Act III).

that immediately on
knowing the whereabouts of S墨t膩, Sugr墨va makes
preparations to start for Lanka with the V膩nara army.
Then enter R膩ma, Lak峁�ma峁嘺, Sugr墨va and Hanuman,
who have reached the shores of the ocean along with
the V膩nara army. Almost immediately, Bibh墨峁�a峁嘺 comes
on the scene, much in doubt as to the sort of treatment
that would be accorded to him by R膩ma. Hanuman
introduces Bibh墨峁�a峁嘺 to R膩ma and after mutual salutations
and greetings R膩ma accepts him as the king of Lanka.
Bibhi峁�ana advises R膩ma to hurl a divine missile at the
ocean when his counsel was sought as to how to cross
the ocean. The God of ocean, the divine Varuna,
however, appears in human form, praises R膩ma and
affords a passage for crossing the ocean by being
divided into two. R膩ma with his army crosses the ocean
and encamps at Suvela, near Lank膩. Nila, the
