looking at Vibhishan he said: ―The impact of the weapon has been very grave. The prince – if he can be saved before sunrise, only then he will survive. Because the would from the weapon is verydeep and poisonous.‖ ―And I do not have the right medicines for him either.‖ ―But on the Himaalay near Drongiri mountain, there is a herb called Sanjivani. If that herb can be brought before Sunrise, then without fail in a moment that wound can be healed without leaving any trace.‖ Pausing for a moment, the doctor looked at Mahaavirji. Because from the time of the burning of Lankaa, he was acquainted with his strength. He said: ―Kapiraaj! My estimation is that only you are capable of fulfilling this task. If you can go there, the this herb is spread all over the mountain. It‘s leaves are luminous like candles. And near the plants, ―Vishalya-Karini‖ and ―Vran-ropini‖ divine herbs also grow. If you can get all the three herbs and come back quickly, the we can carry out our task.‖ Would Mahaavirji ever refuse any task of the Lord? Only two parts of the night had passed so far.Hanumaanji bowed at the feet of the Lord. And tookmdust from the lotus feet of the Lord. And bowing to every one he said: ―I am going now. I will come before sunrise. You all stay here carefully. Demons are magicians. At night they can spraed their magic more extensively. Take care you are allured by their magic.‖ Saying thus Vaayu putra proceeded by the sky route. Raavan‘s spies were relaying all the news from the camp to Raavan. These spies had permission to enter during even the night. Waking Raavan, the spies made him aware of Sushen‘s departure and Hanumaanji‘s journey towards Drongiri. Raavan became very worried on hearing this news. He had wished that Laxmanji would not awake. But when he learned of the involvement of very proficient great doctor Sushen and the bringing of herbs for Drongiri, he was disheartened. Now there was only one way out of this. If Hanumaanji fails to return before sunrise, only then the work be accomplished. Raavan sttod up immediately. And he went to the great wizard demon Kaalnemi‘s house. Waking up Kaalnemi, Raavan commanded him: ―Do not let Hanumaan to proceed towards Drongiri. Entangle him within your magic and stop him in between.‖ Hearing the name of Mahaavir, Kaalnemi shivered. And he said: ―O Loed of Lankaa! What are you saying? Me a mere demon, how do you think will Hanumaanji ever be fooled by my magic? It is not aneasy task to stop him. The one who in no time created inferno of Lankaa and reduced it to ashes. The one who in front of your very eyes destroyed the very strong son Akshay. Do you still believe that unstoppable Mahaavir can be stopped?‖ But that day Raavan was in no mood to listen to the words of Kaalnemi. The selfish would not endure the truth - and how can he like anything like that from Kaalnemi? Another may die, so may that be. The selfish to serve his self interest would sacrifice many others! Hearing Kaalnemi‘s words, Raavan immediately drew out his sword in a rage and said: ―Kaalnemi! I have not come to listen to your advice. All this time you have enjoyed all the luxuries in my kingdom, and now you consider life more iomportant? Immediately get up and fulfil my command. Else my sword will deliver you if not there then to the abode of the dead, do you hear?‖ 134 | P a g e

Kaalnemi pondered that death is near anyway, whether here or there. That is all that matters. Then why get killed at the hands of this wicked one when I can meet death at the hands of the messenger of Raghunaath?‖ Thinking thus, Kaalnemi said: ―I have understood O Lord of Lankaa. I wear your command on my head.‖ ―Remember clearly, make sure that monkey does not go any further,‖ saying thus Raavan went back to his bedroom. And Kaalnemi reached the path of Hanumaanji. Going ahead of Hanumaanji, he created by his magic a beautiful water area, on the shore of which he created a garden and Rushi Ashram. And Kaalnemi himself became the mendicant. Hanumaanji was proceeding ahead by the sky route. En route, he felt thirsty and sought to drink some water. From a distance he saw the water reservoir and the gaerden, and seeing the Rushi Ashram, he landed there. Kaalnemi in the form of the mendicant from a distance called Hanumaanji: ―O Brother! Where are you going in such haste. Take a seat and rest and have some water to drink.‖ Seeing the mendicant, Hanumaanji saluted him and the mendicant blessing him said: ―Dear Hanumaan! I know your task and yourself very well. You are travelling to fetch the herbs for Laxmanlaalji.‖ The words of the mendicant had profound effect on Hanumaanji. He thought this was certainly some great accomplished soul. So bowing he said: ―Yes Mahaaraaj, your words are true.‖ ― --- then I am very pleased with you. You will not have to put much effort into it. I will reveal a mantra to you. By the effect of this mantra, you will be able to reach Drongiri in a moment.‖ Hanumaanji was keen to get this task of the Lord done as quickly, so very pleased he said: ―Mahaaraaj! Then reveal that mantra very quickly to me.‖ ―Dear!‖ said the mendicant. ―There is no need to rush. In a moment you will be on Drongiri and the next moment you will reach Lankaa. But to know that mantra, you will need to purify by bathing in the lake opposite.‖ ―As you permit,‖ saying thus Hanumaanji went to bathe in the lake. Just as he put his foot in the water, a female crocodile grabbed his right leg in her mouth. But he just lifted his leg and placed it on top of the female crocodile. To his surprise, she became the form of an angel (apsara). She was rid of her curse by a Rushi from the past. Standing in the sky she prayed to Hanumaanji and said: ―Mahaavirji! By the curse of the Rushi I was seated in the lake in the form of crocodile. Today by the ouch of your foot, I am released from that form. But you have been trapped in the this magician‘s act. Really, he is no mendicant, but rather sent by Raavan, he is the demon Kaalnemi. To prevent you from proceeding further, he has created this magic.‖ Saying thus, the apsaraa became invisible. Coming after finishing his bath, Hanumaanji was very angered at this pretending mendicant. Going to the mendicant he began to say: ―Guruji! It is my wish that I give you you dakshinaa first. Then I will take the mantra from you.‖ The mendicant said: ―No child! We who are enounced to the world do not require any dakshinaa. You just collect yourself. Then I will deliver you to Drongiri.‖ ―No Mahaaraaj!,‖ Hanumaanji said, ―I do not like to have mantra on credit. Your dakshinaa first and them the mantra.‖ 135 | P a g e
