Hanuman who is capable to assume
any form as he was desired, roamed around the inner areas of the palace with
extreme grief, eventually arrived at the Palace of Ravana which was shining
with the hue of sun, surrounded by high compound wall and well protected by the
numerous mighty demons like woods full of lions. The palace has elegant archways, entrances
and beautiful doors decorated with silver and gold, protective shields made of
lion and tigers skin, it was well protected by powerful demon warriors on
elephants, chariots and horses. The
inner areas of the palace were decked with diamonds, expensive furniture and
utensils, various attractive birds and animals were all over the places. The palace was well protected with mighty
demons, gorgeous and happy women in their grand attires and finest jewelries
were roaming in the inner areas. There
were number of people in magnificent clothes, smeared in sandal paste were
roaming like lions in the woods. There were
the sounds of divine instruments like Bheri and Mridanga, reverberations of conch
while conducting the auspicious rituals by the demons. Hanuman witnessed the ocean like colossal

and Thomaras etc…the guards had fierce weapons in their hands, there were
number of various colors of attractive horses and marvelous breed of elephants,
beautiful fountains and waterfalls.

army of demons decked in gold, palanquins of various patterns, art galleries,
pleasure houses and houses to have pleasurable and lustful activities. There were palaces equivalent to the size of
mount Mandhara, with large enclosures filled with peacocks, like the palace of

numerous classy furniture and vessels made of gold. Hanuman entered the palace and found that there
were abundance of intoxicated drinks made of honey filled in several
magnificent vessels, palace of Kubera was filled with most beautiful women and
the place was reverberated with the sounds of their tinkling waist ornaments
while gracefully moving around and the sounds of percussions.
