Thus surviving many trials with the help of his subtle wit, courage and strength,
he flew across the ocean and approached the coast of Lanka covered with plantain and
coconut trees.

and mountains and forests and the mouths of rivers.
Hanumaan saw the wealth of Raavana's
kingdom and the beauty of the fortified city.
"I have reached the destination,"

I am, I must search the place and find out where Seeta is kept."
He reduced his huge form to the size of a
normal monkey and alighted on a hiII-top in Lanka. |
