Then Hanumat (Hanuman) took leave of 尝补峁卥腻sundar墨 with fair words and entered the city 尝补峁卥腻, possessing great power. Then the son of Pavana帽jaya, the abode of strength, terrifying to enemy soldiers, went to the home of 叠颈产丑墨峁�a峁嘺. Questioned by 叠颈产丑墨峁�a峁嘺, after he had entertained him, as to his reason for coming, the son of 础帽箩补苍腻 said, his voice deep from strength: 鈥淎s you are the brother of 搁腻惫补峁嘺, considering the consequences of proper action, have 厂墨迟腻, the virtuous kidnaped wife of 搁腻尘补, freed from 搁腻惫补峁嘺. The kidnaping of K膩kutstha鈥檚 wife by your brother, though powerful, is the cause of suffering both in this world and the next.鈥�

叠颈产丑墨峁�a峁嘺 said: 鈥淲ell said by you, Hanumat. I have already told my elder brother to release 厂墨迟腻. I shall ask. my brother again urgently, if he will free 厂墨迟腻 now at my request.鈥� At these words of 叠颈产丑墨峁�a峁嘺 the son of 础帽箩补苍腻 flew up and went to the garden 顿别惫补谤补尘补峁嘺 occupied by Vaideh墨. There the son of Pavana帽jaya saw Queen Vaideh墨 at the foot of an 补艣辞办补, her hair in disorder on her cheeks, with the ground made into a pool from the repeated streams of tears, her lotus-face dark like a lotus nipped by frost, her body extremely thin like a digit of a new moon, the blossom of her lip suffering from the heat of passionate sighs, motionless like a yogin墨, meditating 鈥湼槟宄静�! 搁腻尘补!鈥� her clothing soiled, indifferent to her body.

Hanumat thought: 鈥淚ndeed, 厂墨迟腻 is a very virtuous wife. People are purified by the mere sight of her. 搁腻尘补 is justly crushed by separation from her; 搁腻尘补 who has such a pure wife, beautiful and virtuous. This wretched 搁腻惫补峁嘺 will perish twice over because of the great majesty of Ragh奴dvaha and his own great evil. Then making himself invisible by magic, Hanumat threw the ring into 厂墨迟腻鈥檚 lap and she rejoiced at seeing it. Just then Trija峁��� reported to Da艣aka峁囜弓ha: 鈥淛膩nak墨 has been depressed for so long, but today she is cheerful.鈥� 鈥淚 think she has forgotten 搁腻尘补 and is now willing to stay with me. Go and remind her,鈥� he said to Mandodar墨. Then Mandodar墨 went again as go-between for her husband and spoke to 厂墨迟腻 respectfully in order to seduce her:

鈥淒a艣膩nana excels in unique strength and good looks. You are unequaled also in beauty and grace. If a suitable union was not arranged for you two by an ignorant fate, nevertheless, let it take place now. Having approached him who deserves to be loved, love him loving (you), J膩nak墨. Let his other wives and me execute your commands, fair-browed lady.鈥�

厂墨迟腻 said: 鈥淲icked woman, acting as go-between for your husband, who can bear to look on your face or your husband鈥檚, evil-faced woman! Consider me at 搁腻尘补鈥檚 side and that Saumitri has come here to kill quickly your husband and his brothers as he did Khara and others. Get up! Get up! wicked woman. I will not talk with you in future.鈥� Thus reviled by 厂墨迟腻, she went away, angry.

Then Hanumat became visible, bowed to 厂墨迟腻 with joined hands, and said: 鈥淏y good fortune 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 are victorious. I have come here, ordered by 搁腻尘补 to get news of you. After I have gone back there, 搁腻尘补 will come here to destroy the enemy.鈥� Weeping, 厂墨迟腻 asked him: 鈥淲ho are you? How have you crossed the ocean difficult to cross? My husband lives some place with Saumitri. Where have you seen him and how does he spend the time?鈥�

Hanumat related: 鈥渓am the son of Pavana and 础帽箩补苍腻. I crossed the ocean in an aerial car by a vidy膩. 搁腻尘补 with 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 is lord over Ki峁�kindh膩, having reduced 厂耻驳谤墨惫补, lord of all the V膩naras, to the status of a footman by killing his enemies. 搁腻尘补 grieves day and night because of the separation from you and makes others grieve, like a mountain with a forest-fire. Like a calf separated from a cow, 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺, separated from you, mistress, experiences no pleasure, looking at the empty sky constantly. Your husband and your husband鈥檚 younger brother, one moment sorrowful, the next moment angry, are not happy, though consoled by 厂耻驳谤墨惫补. 叠丑腻尘补峁囜笉补濒补, Vir膩dha, Mahendra, and other Khecaras attend them, like the gods serving 艢akra and 墨艣膩na, having become footmen.

I was recommended by 厂耻驳谤墨惫补 and was sent by 搁腻尘补 to deliver his ring and obtain news of you, queen. If your crest-jewel is taken by me as a token from you, your lord will know from seeing it that I have come here.鈥�

At Hanumat鈥檚 insistence and from joy at news of 搁腻尘补, she ate at the end of the twenty-first day and night. She said to him: 鈥淭ake my crest-jewel as a token from me and go quickly, friend. If you stay, there will be violence. If that cruel 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 knows that you have come here, he, strong, will surely come to kill you, like death.鈥� Smiling confidently, his hands joined, he said: 鈥淵ou say this to me from affection, being timid, mother. I am the footman of 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺, conquerors of the three worlds. Who is this miserable 搁腻惫补峁嘺, even with his army, compared with me? Taking you too on my back, mistress, I shall take you into the master鈥檚 presence, having conquered 搁腻惫补峁嘺 and his army.鈥�

厂墨迟腻 said with a smile: 鈥淵ou do not shame your lord, 搁腻尘补bhadra, speaking with such confidence, sir. Everything is suitable for you, a soldier of 搁腻尘补 and 艢膩r峁単in, but it is not proper for a strange man to touch me at all. That being so, go very quickly. You have done everything so that when you have gone my husband will make active preparation.鈥�

Hanumat said: 鈥淚 am going, but I shall show these Rak峁�ases the fickleness of power. This Da艣膩sya, thinking himself a conqueror, scorns the strength of others. Let him know the power of 搁腻尘补bhadra鈥檚 soldier.鈥� Saying, 鈥淰ery well,鈥� 厂墨迟腻 gave him her crest-jewel. He bowed to her and departed, shaking the earth with his heavy footsteps.

He began to destroy that same garden 顿别惫补谤补尘补峁嘺 by the strength of his hand reaching forth, like a forest-elephant destroying a forest. He began the sport of destruction, without pity for the red 补艣辞办补s, without confusion among the bakulas, without compassion for mangoes, without motion among the campakas, with sharp anger for the coral trees, without mercy for the plantains and for other beautiful trees.^[1] Then the doorkeepers at the four gates of the garden, who were 搁腻办峁�a蝉补s, ran to attack him with hammers in their hands. Their blows stumbled on Han奴mat like ocean-waves on a mountain on the coast. P膩vani, angered, struck them with the same trees of the garden, without fatigue. Everything is a weapon for the strong. Quickly he destroyed the trifling 搁腻办峁�a蝉补 guards, as well as the trees, he鈥攖he Aik峁�v膩ku soldier, unstumbling as the wind. Some men went and told the lord of 搁腻办峁�a蝉补s about the killing of the guards of the garden committed by Han奴mat.

Then the lord of 搁腻办峁�a蝉补s instructed Prince 础办峁�a, the destroyer of enemies, with an army to kill Hanumat. P膩vana帽jayi said to 础办峁�a challenging to battle, 鈥淵ou fall to me in the beginning of battle like fruit at the beginning of a meal.鈥� 鈥淵ou thunder in vain, Kapi,鈥� the son of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 scolded and rained sharp arrows filling the range of the eye. 艢谤墨艣补颈濒补,^[2] like a high-waved ocean, made the son of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 like an island by a heavy rain of arrows like water. After the son of 础帽箩补苍腻 had made weapon against weapon for a long time from curiosity, wishing to put an end to the battle, he killed 础办峁�a like an animal.

Then Indrajit came quickly from anger at his brother鈥檚 death, saying confidently, 鈥淪tay! stay, M膩ruti.鈥� Then a battle started between the two very powerful men, cruel as the end of the world, causing the universe to tremble for a long time. Raining unceasing streams of arrows like streams of water, they looked like Pu峁�kar膩vartaka-clouds in the sky. The space between them became hard to see at once from the constant clashing missiles, like an ocean with sea-animals. As many missiles as the son of 搁腻惫补峁嘺, hard to restrain, discharged, M膩ruti destroyed them with many times as many missiles. All of Indrajit鈥檚 soldiers, their limbs crushed by Han奴mat鈥檚 missiles, perished, like living mountains with rivers of blood. Seeing his army vanished and his own weapons made useless, the son of Da艣膩sya discharged the missile n膩gap膩艣a^[3] at 艢谤墨艣补颈濒补. The son of Pavana was bound from head 峁璷 foot by the n膩gap膩艣as which were very strong, just like a sandal tree. This binding by the n膩gap膩艣as was endured by Han奴mat. For from curiosity one is able to give temporary victory even to the enemy. Han奴mat was led by the delighted Indrajit to 搁腻惫补峁嘺, observed by wide-eyed 搁腻办峁�a蝉补s who were witnesses to the victory.

搁腻惫补峁嘺 said to M膩ruti: 鈥淲retch, what has happened that these two miserable men are supported by you who have belonged to me since birth? Living in a forest, eating fruit, unclean, wearing dirty garments, like Kir膩tas, what glory will they give to you when they are satisfied? In the circumstances why have you come here at their command, since you jeopardize your life just by coming here, stupid? These earth-inhabitants are clever that they have made you do this. For rogues pull out charcoal (from a fire) by another鈥檚 hand. As you were the best of followers to me and now are the messenger of an enemy, you are not to be killed, villain, but you are ridiculed just to teach you.鈥�

Hanumat said: 鈥淲hen was I your follower? And when did you become my master? Are you not ashamed to talk so! Once upon a time your vassal, Khara, esteeming himself highly in battle,^[4] was freed from capture by 痴补谤耻峁嘺^[5] formerly by my father from friendship for you. I too came to your assistance in the past, summoned by you. I guarded you from 痴补谤耻峁嘺鈥檚 sons in battle and in danger. You are not suitable for assistance now, engaged in crime. Even conversation with you, the kidnaper of another man鈥檚 wife, is for evil. I do not see anyone among your people who will protect you now from Saumitri alone, to say nothing of 搁腻尘补, his elder brother.鈥� Angered by that speech, terrible from the frown on his brow, Da艣膩nana said, biting his lips: 鈥淪ince you support my enemies and have made an enemy of me, you are s奴rely anxious to die. Why do you have disgust with existence in this case? Just as no one kills a leper, even one who. wishes to die, from fear of murder, who would kill a messenger, villain! Now you are to be led around every road in 尝补峁卥腻, surrounded by people, mounted on a donkey and with five tufts of hair (like an ascetic).鈥�

Angry at these words, M膩ruti burst the n膩gap膩艣as. For how long does an elephant remain bound by lotus-stalks? Flying up like a flash of lightning, M膩ruti broke the diadem of the lord of 搁腻办峁�a蝉补s into pieces with a kick. As 搁腻惫补峁嘺 cried, 鈥淜ill him! Seize him!鈥� he destroyed the city with blows of his feet as if it had no lord. After furnishing amusement in this way, P膩vani flew up like Garu岣峚, went to 搁腻尘补, bowed, and delivered 厂墨迟腻鈥檚 crest-jewel. 搁腻尘补 put 厂墨迟腻鈥檚 crest-jewel over his heart, as if 厂墨迟腻 had come in person, touching it again and. again. Questioned graciously by D膩艣arathi who embraced him like a son, Hanumat (Hanuman) related the humiliation of Da艣avaktra and all the news of 厂墨迟腻 in detail, the success of his strength of arm being heard by others.
