He looked up and down and on all four sides. Then he discovered the cause. It was
a huge she-demon in the sea holding him by his shadow below arresting, his speed and
dragging him down.
The demon, holding him by his, shadow, said! "Come,
come! Long have I been waiting for you. No longer can I bear my hunger," and she
opened her mouth like a cave.
At once Hanumaan entered her mouth and
ripped a way out through her entrails and emerged. The demon died and sank down in
the water. Like the full moon emerging from an eclipse, Hanumaan shone in the sky and
resumed his journey.
