Hanumaanji thought that this wicked demoness will not be persuaded, and that there was
no point in arguing with her. In case if some other demon came during the conversation,
then it would only make matters worse. And that time will be lost in search of Jaankiji.
Blow to Lankini
Having thought such, Pavankumaar punched a blow to the head of the demoness. The
heavy solid blow blew out the eyes of the demoness and she began to vomit blood.
Before Hanumaanji was to hit her the second blow, she fell at the feet of Hanumaanji.
And crying out she said: ―Mahaavir, I have recognised you. When Bhrahmaa gave boon
to Raavan, he had told him that Sri Raam‘s messenger will come searching for Bhagvati
Sitaaji. And if by his single blow Lankaa‘s deity is agitated and confounded, then realise
that Lankaa city and the Lord Lankaa are guests for only few days.‖
―Lord of Kapi!‖ she continued after a breath, ―I am not a demoness but worshipped by
Raavan I am the overlord of Lankaapuri. It is my great priviledge that I have gained your
vision. You make enterane to the city contemplating on the name of Raam. Success is
already facing you.‖
Saying thus the deity relinquished the task of guarding of Lankaa. Granting her freedom
from fear, Hanumaanji made entrance to the city.
Mahaavirji just realised that he could have asked Smapaati the whereabouts of Janaknandini
in Lankaa. And Sampaati also did not bother to explain the location. Now I will
have to search this whole vast Lankaapuri for Sitaaji. Where could Sitaaji be? Has the
Lord of Lankaa – Raavan put her into a prison?
Thinking thus he searched all the prisons in the city. The prisons were all filled with
deities and divine souls – but showed no trace of Sitaaji.
Thereafter he roamed in secret form in the abodes of the ministers. To carry out the task
of his master, the celibate Mahaavirji had to pass through the abodes of the married. At
some locations, animals were being slaughtered, at others intoxicating drinks were being
boiled, some were preparing meat dishes and at others the demons were engaged in acts
of their desires.
Hanumaanji saw all these abodes, and he also entered many public places in secret form.
Maybe he will get some news of Sitaaji from the chatting of people. But there was not a
single mention of Sitaaji in any of the discussions. In all locations he roamed with
unadulterated mind. The one in whose heart the name of Sri Raam and Sri Raam‘s task
consistently reside, where is the scope for adulteration of the mind?
Roaming around, he entered the vast great palace of Kumbhkaran. This huge bodied
demon was in long deep sleep, so he came out again.
Half the night had passed. All the people had succumbed into the lap of mother sleep. But
the one who was engaged in carrying out the task of Bhagwaan, how can sleep enter his
eyes?
And just a little distance ahead he observed made from markat diamond the palace of
Raavan. Skillfully he made entrance into it. Raavan‘s beauty room, inner room, meeting
room, weapon store, committee room and inner court – he looked at all those. He checked
out the sleeping of all the queens, looked at all the dance halls. In all the places he
observed those arrogant women lying fainted from intoxication of extremely potent
liquor. After pleasing Raavan with their form, colour and attraction those women were
