Ravana after a moment of meticulous thought
ordered his men to fire the tail of Anjaneya and take him for a walk around the
city of Lanka. Soon the demons wrapped up the gigantic tail of Anjaneya
with rags and poured oil on it and set fire on the tail. Anjaneya
mounted with rage pushed away the demons; the demons witnessed Anjaneya with
blazing tail were rejoiced over the failure of him, shortly crowd of demons
were followed Anjaneya with the drumbeat. Some of the demons were
informed Sita about the pathetic state of Anjaneya. Sita was horrified at
the news and started paying homage to Lord Agni, she sincerely prayed “If I am
a chaste woman devoted to my husband, let the fire cool Anjaneya. If Rama
has kindness towards me and if I have some fortune, let the fire cool
Anjaneya. If virtuous Rama treats me as a woman of moral conduct and
desirous to meet, let the fire cool Anjaneya. If Sugriva was sincere in
performing his promise and capable to retrieve me from the ocean of sorrow, let
the fire cool Anjaneya”. Instantly, the fire on the tail of Anjaneya
turned out a cool-breeze for him, though it was blazing like furnace, it does not
hurt him at all. Anjaneya realized the effective prayer of Sita, he
wandered the city of Lanka with his burning tail, decided to set fire to all
those beautiful mansions before him. Like a fire ball moved to the
mansions of Prahastha, Mahaparsva, Vajradamshtra, Shuka, Sarana, moved to the
mansion of Vibhishana and meticulously avoided, he rushed to the manor of
Rashmikethu, Suryashatru, Hrasvakarna, Dhamshtra, Romasa, Yuddhonmaththa,
Maththa, Dwajagreevah, Vidhyujivha, Hasthimukha, Karala, Pischacha, Shonithaksha,
Kumbhakarna, Makaraksha, Yajnashatru, Brahmashatru, Naranthaka, Kumbha and
Nikumbha and set fire on them. Gradually moved to the palace of Ravana,
he set fire on the majestic palace made of precious stones and gems.
Soon, the flame vigorously spread all over the place with the soaring speed of
the wind, the mansion embellished with precious metals, gems and stone
were exploded with deafening noise, women and men were panicky scattered to
different places with their lives. The molten metal contains the precious
stones and gems were surging through the majestic path ways. Anjaneya
burnt the city of Lanka like Rudra engulfed the city of Tripura. In the
middle of combustion Lanka gave out an appearance of millions of Aditya, the
demons were forced to think that he was not just a monkey, he must be any of
the deities like Lord Indra , Lord Varuna, Lord Yama, Lord Kubera, Lord Shiva,
Lord Vayu, Lord Surya or Kala, may be the furious form of Lord Brahma or Lord
Vishnu in disguise. The city of Lanka reverberated with the sounds of
pitiable cries of demons and in a short time the prosperous city of Lanka
turned out heap of ash. Anjaneya majestically stood on the top of Mount
Trikoota, immersed at the thought of Rama, with his burning tail which created
an impression of garland of fire surrounded by him. All the celestials
Gandharvas, Vidhyadharas, Nagas, Yakshas Rishis and Sages were eulogized the
braveness and intelligence of Anjaneya with immense joy.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
