Ravana/Lokaravana, who has long
powerful arms, capable to cause anguish to his enemies, stared at resplendent
Hanuman/Kapindra/foremost among Vanaras who was in extreme frenzy, caught up
with various thoughts. “Long ago when I
was putting an effort to lift Mount Kailash, it was Nandhi Bhagavan who cursed
me, is that he in the form of Vanara or Banasura.” Ravana spoke most infuriatingly to Prahasa
“Enquire this wicked Vanara, where did he come from? What was the purpose of
his visit? Why did he alarmed the female demons and destroyed the marvelous
garden? Enquire this evil minded Vanara why did he come to this Mahapuri and
why did he engage in a vicious battle?” Prahastha began to speak after
listening to Ravana “Oh! Kape, regain your courage; you need not get frightened,
have you assigned to perform any mission by Lord Indra in the abode of Ravana? Explain
the truth, you will be released. Are you
the emissary of Lord Kubera, Lord of wealth? Or Lord Yama, Lord of death? Or
Varuna, Lord of ocean? Or Lord Vishnu, the preserver of Earth? Are you the
messenger on behalf of any of the deities longing for triumph? Oh! Vanara, you are valorous, disguised in
the form of a Vanara, explain the truth, you will be released soon. If you lie, it will be difficult for you to
survive, explain us the purpose of your visit to the abode of Ravana.” After listening to the words of Prahastha,
Hanuman began to speak “ I am not a messenger of Lord Indra or Lord Yama, or Lord Varuna. I have no association with Lord Kubera or I
am not initiated by Lord Vishnu. I am a
Vanara by birth. The marvelous garden
was destroyed by me to have a word with the demon King Ravana which is very
difficult to obtain. At that moment,
numerous dreadful demons attacked me; I had to stumble upon them in order to
protect myself. I have a boon from Lord Brahma;
therefore none of the weapons by deities or demons could not fasten me or
restrict my movement. I have surrendered
to the divine weapon with a desire to meet your King, immediately after I have
relieved from it due to the presence of impure materials brought by the
demons. I have come here for a
scrupulous task assigned by Rama. Oh!
Lord of demons, I am the messenger of Rama who has possessed matchless
excellence, kindly listen to me I have to explain some beneficial words for
you.”
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
