COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE R脗MA-STORY 85 F. Capturing of Hanumat by Indrajit and the former's wordy
duel with R膩vana :

finds himself surrounded by the servants of R膩va峁嘺. They had been
commissioned by Ravana to beat and chase off Hanumat, on receiving
the information of his arrival from the ladies who had gone to the
garden. During his fight with them Hanumat ruins the whole garden
(53. 75-80). Following that a band of soldiers arrive there. Hanumat
inflicts a crushing defeat by killing them. Further he destroys various
buildings of La峁卥膩 and approaches the palace of R膩vana (53.90).
R膩va峁嘺 gets ready to capture Hanumat but Indrajit intervenes. The
latter himself along with Meghav膩hana and his soldiers,
after a
gruesome fight, binds Hanumat with serpent nooses (baddho ciya
n膩gap膩sehi峁�) and produces him before R膩va峁嘺 (53. 120). R膩va峁嘺
deprecates his alliance with R膩ma. Hanumat retorts R膩vana rebuking
him for his malicious conduct. R膩va峁嘺 gets annoyed and orders his
men to insult Hanumat by beating him in the centre of the city (53.
141). Hanumat losing no moment tears asunder the fetters and flees
away towards Ki峁�kindhipura after ruining the city of Lanka. Mando-

guards who try to oppose him (5. 43). Then follows the slaying of
Jambum膩lin (5. 44. 20), seven sons of the ministers (5. 45. 17), five
generals (5. 46) and Ak峁�ayakum膩ra (5. 47. 38) who were all commi-

overpowers Hanumat and seizes him by his Brahm膩stra (pait膩maha峁�
astram 5. 48. 36). Hanumat voluntarily gets captured with a view to
have some discussion with R膩vana (5. 48. 47). He is then produced
before R膩vana who being annoyed with the abuses and scorns from
Hanumat orders his men to assassinate Hanumat (5. 51. 45). Here
