Reading Diary A: Hanuman goes to Lanka - Week 6

Sampati- Jatayu's brother
Sampati is sad about his brother's death and reveals he saw Ravana with Sita flying to Lanka.

It is decided that Hanuman must be the one to step over the sea to Lanka.
Hanuman rests on the mountain Mainaka.

I like this part because everyone is stepping up to help Rama find Sita.

Hanuman nears Lanka and is swallowed by the rakshasi - which is a female rakshasa - Sinhika.
However Hanuman defeats her.

He reaches Lanka in the form of a cat. He searches for Sita but cannot find her until Vayu (his father - the god of wind) leads him in the right direction.

Meanwhile, Ravana tries to seduce Sita but fails.
I thought back to when Sita is told that Ravana cannot rape her because he is cursed, his head will explode if he rapes another women.

Hanuman finds Sita, who at first thinks he is an allusion.
He gives her Rama's ring and tells her about the alliance between the bears and the monkeys.

Before leaving Lanka, Hanuman creates chaos in Lanka.

Prahasta- Ravana's general
Jambumali- Prahasta's son
Indrajit- Ravana's son
Vibhishana- Ravana's brother

Hanuman is caught by Indrajit but he breaks free and sets Lanka on fire.
Sita knows at this point that Rama is coming to save her.

The monkeys and the bears pass through the Honey Park with the news of Sita's safety, they are drunk on honey wine.
Hanuman tells Rama that he found Sita and that she remind faithful to him, he encourages him to go defeat Ravana and save Sita.
