From there, Mahaavirji went to meet Vibhishanji. According appropriate hospitality to
Hanumaanji, Vibhishan said: ―Mahaavirji! You can see I am living my days like corn
between the two wheels of the mill. Describe this state of mine to Bhagwaan Raam. And
relay my prostrations at his feet.‖
―You are fearless!‖ said Hanumaanji with a laugh. ―You have reached the refuge of the
kingpin of the mill. You know that the corn supported at the kingpin, even the wheels of
the mill cannot grind.‖
―Just as the wish of Lord Raam!‖ Vibhishan said.
Giving confidence to Vibhishan and taking leave of him, Hanumaanji proceeded from
there. Completing the fire destruction of Lankaa, Maaruti accomplished the task of his
Rudra incarnation.
[ 13 ]
Jaambvaan and the monkeys after the departure of Hanumaanji had just remained sitting
at the coast of the great of ocean with great eagerness awaiting his arrival. In beween,
Jaambvaan was relating stories of child feats of Hanumaan. Thereupon, from afar
Hanumaanji‘s joyous squeels were heard.
All the monkeysa became eager, some climbed trees, some climbed the hills to look out
for Hanumaanji. Just then with shout of ―Jay Raghunaath‖ he downed from his sky path.
All the monkeys surrounded Hanumaanji. All were wishing to hear what has ensued in
Lankaa. Sitting on a big boulder, Hanumaanji related all. Hearing the wellbeing of
Sitaaji, all were pleased.The elderly Jaambvaan hugged Hanumaanji to his heart. The
other monkeys were engrossed jumping in joy. Some were kissing Hanumaanji‘s tail.
Some were pressing his feet. Whereas some were bringing him ripe sweet fresh fruit.
For all, the day‘s meeting with Hanunaaji became a festive occasion.
Talking to each other, jumping about and with joyous squeels, all departed towards
Kishkindhaa. Enroute, Jaambvaan kept asking about Lankaa. Mahaavirji sweetly related
the happenings. Getting near Kishkindhaa, there was Sugriv‘s garden. All the monkys
expressed desire to eat fruit from it. Angadji was with them. And in the joyous mood
Angadji gave permission to eat fruit at their desire.
Entering the garden, all the monkeys ate fruit to their hearts‘ desire. According their
animal nature they were throwing unripe fruit on the ground. This came to the knowledge
of the garden keepers. They did not know of the permission of prince. The keepers
stopped some of the monkeys. Overcome in their mood some monkeys gave the keepers
beatings.
The poor keepers, frightened by all ran to Sugriv to complain. And adding to the facts
they said: ―Lord, Prince Angad has sent the troops of monkeys into the garden and by his
instruction the monkeys have flattened it all. The Prince for some deliberate reason has
destroyed the garden.‖
Sugriv drew inference the search for Sitaaji had been succdessfully concluded. If they
had not succeeded, then what would be the use of such destruction? Thinking thus,
Sugrivji replied: ―What is the problem? The Prince has full rights on the garden. Let him
do as sees fit. You can go.‖
The poor keepers left just as they had come without achieving anything.
Just then came shouts from the sky of ―Glory to Siyaavr Raamchandra! Glory to
Mahaavir Hanumaan!‖ Sugriv came to front the crowd. Hanumaanji bowed to Sugriv.
