Ravana, after listening to the momentous
speech of his virtuous brother Vibhishana, began to speak “You have well narrated
the verity about killing an envoy is forbidden, we will definitely impose
severe punishment upon him. It is
believed that the tail is a most appreciated body part of a Vanara, let his
tail burn and go without it, let all his relatives and associates and Kings men
see him with deformed limb.” In this
way, Ravana ordered the demons to burn the tail of Hanuman and should be dragged
through the City of Lanka and its streets.
Hanuman was fuming with anger, after listening to the verdict of Ravana,
shortly his tail was wrapped with abundance of cotton clothes and oil sprinkled
on it, in no time set out fire on it.
Hanuman who has the brilliance of Lord Surya, was extremely wrathful
watching his burning tail, heaved the demons on various directions. The demons with their families, children and
elders rejoiced over the anxious state of Hanuman, foremost among Vanaras with
burning tail, they fastened him and accompanied him to the streets. Hanuman decided to use the opportunity wisely
“Though I have been fastened by the wicked demons are not capable to do
anything, they have sincerely followed the command of their Lord, I can fly up
and break the ties, eventually kill them. I am capable to vanquish the demons in the battle;
I have to tolerate them in order to get fruitful information about the city of
Lanka for the delight of Rama. The city
of Lanka and its fort was not seen by me precisely, because I have entered this
city during the dark hours, therefore I can watch out the city during day
light. Let the demons fasten me, torment
me as they desired or burn my tail, I will not change my mind.” Hanuman, foremost among the Vanaras,
concealed his emotions while the wicked demons were amusingly torturing him. Hanuman, annihilator of enemies was drawn
recklessly through the city of Lanka by the demons; he remained calm and observed
luxurious mansions, lush land, and beautiful path ways, and busy streets ways, network
of roads, high ways, palaces and apartments in multitudes. Hanuman was dragged by the demons through the
crowded pathways declaring him as spy, women and children were came out of
their dwelling place with an eagerness to witness Hanuman with fire on his
tail. Sita was duly informed about the
unpleasant event by the demons, “ Oh! Sita, The Vanara with Thamaramukha/red
face who had conversation with you have been mercilessly dragging throughout
the city, with fire on its tail.” Sita
who was already tormented with grief, became inconsolable after listening to
the painful words of demons, large eyed Sita prayed to Lord Agni for the
welfare of Hanuman, “If I was devoted to my husband, if I have undertaken
sincere austerities, if I am a chaste wife to my husband, kindly keep Hanuman unruffled. If Rama has compassion towards me, if I have
any fortune remains, kindly keep Hanuman unflustered. If the virtuous Rama recognizes me as lady
with chastity desirous of meeting him, kindly keep Hanuman unperturbed, If venerable Sugriva is true to his words and
capable to release me from the ocean of sorrows, kindly keep Hanuman at ease.” Ultimately, Lord Agni shone brightly with flames
high as though informing Sita about the welfare of Hanuman. Lord
Vayu, father of Hanuman also joined for the welfare of his son with cool breeze. Hanuman was astonished to see his tail
blazing, at the same time he was not experiencing any heat or pain, in its
place he felt the presence of snow ball on his tail. He immersed in various thoughts “I have formed
a pleasant alliance with Mount Mainaka while crossing the vast ocean, it must
be the grace of Rama, I am experiencing coolness in the air due to the
graciousness of Lord Agni. I am not
experiencing any heat due to the compassion of Goddess Sita, prowess of Rama
and my father’s association with Lord Agni.” The glorious Hanuman, foremost
among Vanaras, took a giant leap with a boisterous roar, with his mountain
sized body hurried to the main gate of the city of Lanka, stood high away from
the crowds of demons. Immediately he
assumed his original form, released himself from the clutches of cord, noticed
an iron rod at the arch way, he took hold of the iron rod and thrashed the
guards and several demons to death. Hanuman
shone with the hue of brilliant rays, stood high with the burning tail looking
over the glorious city of Lanka.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
