The demons rushed with rags of clothes dipped in oil and tied around Hanumana’s tail, but the more rags they wrapped the longer his tail grew in length. The demons grew tired of getting enough oil-dipped rags to wound his tail. Then the demons set the tail on fire. Hanumana was once again dragged through was once again dragged the streets of Lanka with his blazing tail.
When Sita came to know about it, she promptly lit a small fire and offered praying to Agni, the god of fire and prayed “O Agni Deva, be gentle on Hanumana’s tail. Be cool as you touch my son’s body.” Meanwhile, Hanumana wondered what power was making his tail feel cool instead of heat of the fire.
For some time, Hanumana remained patient letting the people enjoy at his expense as they made fun of a monkey with a tail on fire. Then Hanumana decided that he had endured enough. He reduced himself in size shaking off the ropes that bound him.
Then suddenly, he took up the enormous size of a rocky mountain. He jumped with his flaming tail to the top of a high mansion. The mansion caught fire and went up in flames. When the demonic guards cane to recapture him, Hanumana pulled out a huge pillar and whirled it around his head. Then he threw it at the demons in full force. This caused fear amongst the demon brigade. Then Hanumana jumped on to another house and set it on fire.
As a strong wind began to blow, the whole city of Lanka went up in flames. Hanumana’s swiftness was unmatched
By anyone in Ravana’s demonic army. So, no one could catch Him. Hanumana kept jumping from house with his blazing tail And in this way all the golden houses were on fire. After Wrecking this havoc and instilling utter fear in the hearts of the Demons, hanumana went to meet mother sita. As usual she sat Worried and sad under a tree. But today, she was Worried for The safety of her son, Hanumana. When Hanumana appeared before her, she said having tears of joy in her eyes, “My son, are you all right? I am so happy to see you safe and sound.” Yes mother, I am safe and I have set Lanka on fire to teach Ravana a lesson. Mother, I am leaving to ho and inform my lord Rama about your whereabouts. Please be courageous and patient. Lord Rama will soon rescue you from here.” With these words, Hanumana increased his stature and set off from lanka.
