Hanuman was extremely pleased after
witnessing the City of Lanka; he mentally prepared for the accomplishment of
remaining task and increased the size of his body “ The remaining act for the
accomplishment of my task will definitely amplify the anguish of the demons, I
have destroyed the beautiful garden, killed multitudes of mighty warriors and
caused great destruction to the army of Ravana.
I have to devastate the remaining part of the fortress that would help
Rama to accomplish his task at ease; it will become fruitful with little more
effort. I have to gratify the fire on my
tail by feeding beautiful mansions in the city of Lanka to it.” Shortly Hanuman with his burning tail
strolled over the roof of the beautiful mansions, gradually invested fire on
the luxurious mansion with his giant leap, he enthusiastically put blaze on the mansions of prominent members of the
assembly, he darted at the speed of wind
with colossal fire on his tail and energetically set fire on the mansions of
Prahastha, Mahaparshva, Vajradhramshtra, Shuka, Sarana, Rashmikethu,
Suryashathru, Hrusvakarna, Dhamshtra, Romasa, Yuddhonmaththa, Mathhta,
Dhvajagreevah, Vidhyuthjivha, Hasthimukha, Karala, Paishacha, Shonithaksha,
Kumbhakarna, Maharaksha, Yajjnashathru, Brahmashathru, Naranthaka, Kumbha and
Nikumba, leaving the house of Vibhishana.
In this way, Hanuman caused massive destruction to the city of Lanka and
its wealth, eventually he approached the glorious palace of Ravana which has
the resemblance of Mount Meru, decked in various precious gems and exquisite
craftsmanship, he let out a boisterous roar like thunder in the rainy season,
fire on the tail of Hanuman was blazing with the enormous support of air which
was capable to destroy the entire world, wind swiftly carried the blazing fire
in the various parts of the grand palace which was decked with marvelous golden
windows, embedded with pearls and precious stone were shattered in to pieces. The demons were chaotically rushed hither and
thither to protect the wealth were ended in vain, houses were engulfed with
fire, it created chaos among the demons, some of the female demons were rushed
out with their infants in utter terror, molten metal’s along with precious
stones, silver were gushed out of the splendid houses, as the fire remained
dissatisfied, Hanuman remained unwearied and the Earth too remained unwavering
after receiving multitudes of lifeless bodies of demons on her lap. The colossal fire shone like the flower of
Shimshupa, Shalmali and saffron in various directions. The resplendent Hanuman burned the city of
Lanka, like Rudra destroyed the city of Thripura. Shortly, Hanuman put off the flames and stretched
himself out of the fire, took a giant leap on the mountain where the city of
Lanka situated. Though the flames were
diffused, fire began to pick up with the wind had the resemblance of
destruction of the Universe at the time of deluge. The entire city was consumed with colossal
fire added with thunderous noise, which has the brilliance of millions of Lord
Aditya. The multitudes of demons were mystified
looking at the City of Lanka which is devoured by the colossal fire “ He is not
an ordinary Vanara, he must be Lord Indra, Lord of celestials wielding with the
fierce weapon Vajrayudha, or Lord Yama/Lord of death, or Lord Vayu, or Lord
Surya, or Lord Rudra, or Lord Kubera, or Lord Chandra or he must be Kala/Time or
it must be Lord Brahma, creator disguised in the form of a Vanara, for the
destruction of demons or it must be Lord Vishnu, preserver of the Universe who
is inconceivable to the mind, unrecognizable/invisible, infinite, unrivaled,
assumed the form of a Vanara for the destruction of the demon clan.” The city of Lanka with its dwellers, horses,
chariots, elephants and with its living creatures were burnt into ashes with an
appalling sound, demons were let out cries of utter grief and agony in search
of their families. The city of Lanka
which was overpowered by the mighty Hanuman, engulfed with colossal fire,
multitudes of demons were killed in the havoc, and it gave out a dreadful
appearance afflicted with curse.
Hanuman, son of Lord Vayu stood
at ease on the Peak of Thrikooda Mountain and witnessed the City of Lanka which
has undergone vast destruction in the blazing fire. The foremost among Vanara, Hanuman with the
blaze on his tail shone like Lord Aditya with brilliant rays and reverentially
remembered Rama. All the deities, Rishis and Sages, Siddhas,
Gandharvas, Vidhyadharas, Nagas, Yakshas, were surprised watching the wretched
state of the city of Lanka; they rejoiced over the triumph of Hanuman and
eulogized his glories, intelligence and prowess of foremost among the Vanaras.
