"Very well," he said, "a monkey's most cherished possession is his tail.
Set fire to his tail, flog him soundly and turn him out." At these words of the Raakshasa king, his servants took Hanumaan out. They wrapped his tail in rags of all kinds.

Thus bound by ropes and with tail ablaze, Hanumaan was taken through the streets of Lanka. "Here goes the thief that entered our city!" cried the women and children. They jeered at him as he was taken round by the exulting Raakshasas to the accompaniment of pipes and drums through all the highways and byways of Lanka. |
