Hanumaanji was just waiting for this. He then reduced to a very minute size and entered
Sursaa‘s mouth and came out of her nostril. And bowing to her he said: ―Mother! Now it
is all accomplished. I have travelled into your womb and returned, so I am now your
child! And also a noble person does not chew anything which has already been chewed.‖
Sursaa was extremely impressed by the strength and intellect of Mahaavir and showering
her grace said: ―Dear child! I am convinced you will accomplish Raamchandraji‘s task
and return safely. The deities had sent me just to confirm this. I have observed that you
are ocean of valour, intellect and cleverness.‖
The son of Anjani bowed at the feet of Sursaa and Sursaa departed from ther by sky
route. Hanumaanji proceeded forward towards Lankaa.
About half the distance had been covered. The ocean observed Hanumaanji proceeding to
carry out Bhagwaan‘s task. To ensure he did not get stressed, he thought some service
should be offered. So the ocean said to the Meinaak mountain residing in the middle of
the ocean: ―Meinaak! You have resided in me for a long time. Hanumaanji who is
traversing today by sky route, offer him a rest place by coming up.‖
Why would Meinaak lose this opportunity to aid Sri Raam‘s messenger? He raised one of
his peaks and Meinaak taking the form of a human himself came forward praying to
Mahaavir: ―Darling of Anjaney! You must be tired. Take some rest on my head. And take
some of these fruit and water. Please take this small service from me in carrying out your
sacred task.‖
Respecting Meinaak‘s prayer, Mahaavirji rested on the peak with one hand, though he
had no need to take any rest. But to satisfy the mountain, he partook of fruit and water,
and he said: ―Meinaak, I am grateful for your service. But how can I take rest without
completing the Lord‘s task?‖
Meinaak was satisfied. Hanumaanji proceeded forward from there.
In the middle of the ocean resided a demoness by the name of Simhikaa. Raahu‘s mother,
she was very apt in magical wizardry. Catching the shadow of the birds flying in the sky,
she would devour them. This Simhikaa caught the shadow of huge body son of Wind.
But how would the insignificant wizardry of Simhikaa wiork against the wizardry Lord
Raam‘s messemger? Perhaps Bhagwaan himself might by play act get caught in the
wizardry, but how can this wizardry touch devotee of Bhagwaan? From the sky route
Hanumaanji observed some external force was preventing his flight. So took look up,
down and on the sides, but could not find the cause. Eventually he stretched his sight in
the ocean waters, and he observed a huge bodied demoness. Mahaavir was very angered.
He jumped on her with his huge body. The demoness was reduced to pulp. The ocean
water turned blood red.
Destroying the demoness, son of Wind proceeded forward. Thereafter he met no further
obstacles. In little time he arrived at Lankaa. On the border of Lankaa was a mountain
called Suwel. Climbing its peak, Hanumaanji glanced at the whole of Lankaa. There
Lankaa was filled with demons mad with pride, demon-witches, huge bodied demons size
of mountains. Impenetrable bodied demons were standing at all the forts armed with
weapons of destruction.
In the darkness of night, Hanumaanji deciding to enter Lankaa in secret form seated
himself on the peak of Suwel mountain and rid of his exhaustion from crossing the ocean.
