THE DEATH OF INDRAJIT

"My son," said the old Vaanara, "proceed northwards at once across the sea to the Himaalaya range. Between the Rishabha and Kailaasa peaks, there is the Hill of Herbs. In that hill-top are four medicinal plants. If you bring them here quickly, Raama and Lakshmana and the Vaanara army will recover consciousness. Their wounds will--be healed and they will fight again. Do this without loss of time. Only you can do this."

Accordingly, Hanumaan sprang up into the air and moved fast. He reached the hill described by the venerable Jaambavaan and as he could not identify the plants, he carried the whole hill and returned with it to Lanka.

Even with the approach of the Sanjeevi hill, Raama and Lakshmana and the Vaanaras felt the darts slip off their bodies. Their wounds healed and they became strong and stood up.
