"In one scale of the balance, dear son, put together the delights of heaven and the bliss of final beatitude; but they will all be outweighed by a moment's joy derived from communion with the saints."

The charming city was enclosed by a fortification wall of gold inlaid with precious stones of various kinds, and contained many beautiful houses, cross roads, bazars, lovely streets and lanes, and was decorated in everyway. Who could count the multitudes of elephants, horses and mules, the crowds of foot soldiers and chariots and the troops of demons of every shape-a formidable host beyond all description ? Groves and orchards, gardens and parks, lakes and also wells, big and small, looked charming; daughters of human beings, Nagas, gods and Gandharvas (celestial musicians) enraptured with their beauty the minds of even hermits. Here roared mighty wrestlers endowed with huge mountainlike forms. They grappled with one another in many ways in different courts and challenged one another to a duel. Myriads of champions possessing frightful forms sedulously guarded the city on all sides. Elsewhere the vile demons feasted on buffaloes, human beings, cows, donkeys and goats. Tulasidasa has briefly told their story only because they will drop their bodies at the sanctuary of Sri Rama's arrows and thereby attain the supreme state.

मसक समान रूप कपि धरी। लंकहि चलेउ सुमिरि नरहरी।। नाम लंकिनी एक निसिचरी। सो कह चलेसि मोहि निंदरी।। जानेहि नहीं मरमु सठ मोरा। मोर अहार जहाँ लगि चोरा।। मुठिका एक महा कपि हनी। रुधिर बमत धरनीं ढनमनी।। पुनि संभारि उठि सो लंका। जोरि पानि कर बिनय संसका।। जब रावनहि ब्रह्म बर दीन्हा। चलत बिरंचि कहा मोहि चीन्हा।। बिकल होसि तैं कपि कें मारे। तब जानेसु निसिचर संघारे।। तात मोर अति पुन्य बहूता। देखेउँ नयन राम कर दूता।।

Hanuman assumed a form as small as a gnat and, invoking the Lord in human semblance (Bhagavan Sri Rama), headed towards Lanka. (At the gateway of Lanka) lived a demoness, Lankini by name. "Where should you be going heedless of me?" she said. "Fool, have you not been able to know who I am? Every thief hereabout is my food." The great monkey dealt her such a blow with his fist that she toppled down vomiting blood. Then, recovering herself, Lanka (Lankini), stood up, and joining her palms in dismay, humbly addressed him, "When Brahma granted Ravana the boon he had asked for, the Creator furnished me with the following clue (to the extermination of the demon race) while departing:-'When you get discomfited by a blow from a monkey, know that all is over with the demon race.' I must have earned very great merit, dear Hanuman, that I have been blessed with the sight of Sri Rama's own messenger

प्रबिसि नगर कीजे सब काजा। हृदयँ राखि कौसलपुर राजा।। गरल सुधा रिपु करहिं मिताई। गोपद सिंधु अनल सितलाई।। गरुड़ सुमेरु रेनू सम ताही। राम कृपा करि चितवा जाही।। अति लघु रूप धरेउ हनुमाना। पैठा नगर सुमिरि भगवाना।। मंदिर मंदिर प्रति करि सोधा। देखे जहँ तहँ अगनित जोधा।। गयउ दसानन मंदिर माहीं। अति बिचित्र कहि जात सो नाहीं।। सयन किए देखा कपि तेही। मंदिर महुँ न दीखि बैदेही।। भवन एक पुनि दीख सुहावा। हरि मंदिर तहँ भिन्न बनावा।।

"Enter the city with the Lord of Ayodhya enshrined in your heart and accomplish all your business. Poison is transformed into nectar, foes turn friends, the ocean contracts itself to the size of a cow's footprint, fire becomes cool and Mount Meru, O Garuda, appears like a grain of sand to him on whom Sri Rama has cast His benign look." Hanuman assumed a very minute form and invoking Sri Rama entered the city. He ransacked every mansion and saw countless warriors here and there. Then he made his way into Ravana's palace, which was marvellous beyond words. He saw the demon chief buried in sleep; but he did not find Videha's Daughter there. He then noticed another splendid building, with a temple sacred to Sri Hari standing apart.

पुर रखवारे देखि बहु कपि मन कीन्ह बिचार। अति लघु रूप धरौं निसि नगर करौं पइसार।।3।।
pura rakhavārē dēkhi bahu kapi mana kīnha bicāra. ati laghu rūpa dharauṃ nisi nagara karauṃ paisāra
Seeing a host of guards defending the city, the chief of the monkeys thought to himself, "Let me assume a very minute form and enter the city at night."
