Anjaneya lamented at his wrong prediction about Sita, chaste wife of Rama never consume anything at the grief of separation from her dearest husband or sleep inside the majestic palace of Ravana.  He regretfully left the chamber of Ravana and walked through the entertainment hall where loads of meat Mayura, Varaha, Mahisha, Kukkuta, Shalyan, Krakara, Chakora, Ekashalya, Cchaga, and various types of drinks of Sura, Madhvika, Sharkkara, Pushpa, Phala, were kept in an attractive manner in the vessels of precious metal.  There were men and women of various complexions were carelessly sleeping with their precious jewels spread all around, the cool breeze carried all those amazing fragrances of flowers from Pushpakavimanam, liquor, and meat all through the patio.  Anjaneya meticulously conducted search for Sita throughout the palace in the brilliant radiance, he was unsuccessful in locating Sita.  In a moment, he regrettably thought that he had committed sin of witnessing other’s wives in an inappropriate manner.  Soon, he pacified himself that it was not his intention to observe other’s wives, it was his duty to conduct search in the entire palace and he had no lustful intentions towards anyone not even for a second, those views were neither disturbed nor kindled his desires and it was necessary to conduct search of Sita amongst the group of women in the palace.  Anjaneya sorrowfully conducted further search through the palace.

Namosthu Ramaya Sa Lakshmanaya Dhevyai Cha Thasyai Janakathmajayai

Namosthu Rudra Indra Yama Anilebhyo Namosthu Chandra Arka Maruth Ganebhya:

 

Anjaneya landed on the Mount Trikoota with immense strength and watched over the stunning city of Lanka built by the celestial sculptor Vishwakarma.  He astoundingly visualized the enthralling beauty of Lanka surrounded by its rich beautiful nature.  The gardens of varieties of flowers of various fragrances, various trees with attractive fruits, marvelously constructed ponds and streams for entertainment, different species of birds, majestic mansions were gave out a brilliant appearance of Abode of Gods.  The beautiful mansion built with gems and precious stones were surrounded by massive golden wall.  The demons of various sizes and complexions, the servants of King Ravana were roaming around to protect the same.  The grandeur of the city once it was ruled by Lord Kubera, elder brother of Ravana had the close resemblance to the Abode of Lord Shiva Mount Kailash.  Anjaneya closely observed the places and chivalrously remembered that only Angada, Nila, Sugriva and he would be able to cross this mighty ocean.  Immediately, his mind engaged on his duty to perform, he meticulously approached the northern gate as a beginning to his search for Sita.  The demons of vicious forms were wandering all over, suddenly put a halt to his way and thought that it would not be safe to move along with the original form, so decided to wait for the hours of darkness.  He admired the Kingdom of Lanka as unbeatable to deities or demons.  Anjaneya’s mind occupied with various thoughts about how to meet Sita without the knowledge of the demons? Where to meet? How to accomplish the task of Rama successfully? How to protect the mighty task of crossing ocean without any harm? How to operate the task without getting hurt and spoil the entire hard work?  etc..  At last, Anjaneya decided to take a tiny form and enter the palace in the night hours.  He patiently waited for the sunset; his mind was completely wrapped up with the different kind of thoughts.  After sun set, Anjaneya reduced his form into a size of a cat and walked through the majestic pathways meticulously observing the tremendous beauty of the Palace of Ravana.  Anjaneya was mesmerized at the beauty of the huge mansions made of gems, crystals and precious stones,  beautifully constructed pathways, gardens, places of entertainment, ponds etc…made of gold and precious stones.   In the moon light Anjaneya had a clear vision of every nook and corner of the surroundings of the palace. 

 

 

The city of Lanka was well protected by the mighty demons on elephants and horses like the City of Bhogavati protected by venomous serpents.  Anjaneya was fascinated at the beauty of the city of Lanka made of Gold, Emerald, Pearls, Crystals, Ruby, Diamonds, Sapphires, Cat’s eye etc... There were some auspicious sounds of recital of Vedic hymns and the sounds of promising instruments like drum and clarinet.  The demons were richly attired embellished with golden ornaments all over their bodies.  The rich glittering ornaments produced glow everywhere.  Suddenly Lankini, a horrific demon, guardian of Lanka appeared before Anjaneya, she blocked his way and questioned the purpose of his visit to the city.  She threatened him to tell the truth otherwise he would be punished to death.   She was protecting the Kingdom of Ravana in her invisible form and none could enter the palace without her permission.  Anjaneya was thoroughly annoyed by her arrogance.  He answered her that the purpose of visit to Lanka was to enjoy the marvelous city and the beauty of its surroundings.   Lankini haughtily replied to him that he was not permissible to visit the places where King and Rakshasas lives without override her.  Anjaneya pleaded her that he will not do any harm to this beautiful city, he will return back after a quick visit.  Lakini lost her patience and she furiously hit on the face of Anjaneya.  Anjaneya was controlling his anger thinking of her as a woman should not be assaulted; he lost his control and gave a rock-hard punch on her face.  Instantly, Lankini fell on the ground with a thud.  She painfully addressed Anjaneya and revealed her identity as the protector of Lanka; she had a boon from Lord Brahma that a mighty Vanara would defeat her that would be the sign of the annihilation of Rakshas.  She profusely admired Anjaneya, she whispered that the destruction of Lanka was happened due to the evil mindedness of Ravana by abducting Sita.  She prompted Anjaneya to resume his search for Sita all over Lanka according to his wish; the auspicious city has already stuck by the curse.
