हनूमत्प्रत्यागमन (hanUmatpratyAgamana)

 
Mahabharata
English
Hanūmatpratyāgamana (“the returning of Hanūmat”). § 534: Rāma and Lakshmaṇa were dwelling on the mountain Mālyavat. Rāma sent Lakshmaṇa to Kishkindhyā to threaten Sugrīva. Sugrīva, however, said that he had despatched monkeys in all directions to find out Sītā. After a month those who had been sent to the north, the east, and the west returned. After two months Hanūmat, Aṅgada, etc., returned from the south, after having pillaged Madhuvaṇa (b). Hanūmat told that in a cavern of the palace of Maya the ascetic Prabhāvatī had shown them the way
on the shore they had seen the mountains Sahya, Malaya, and Dardura, then they had met Sampāti, the brother of Jaṭāyu(s) (), and had informed him of everything
Sampāti then had directed them to Laṅkā (d), whereafter Hanūmat had crossed the ocean and slain the Rākshasī of the water, and had been recognized by Sītā from the words of Avindhya
Sītā had given him a jewel as a credential and told him, as a token, that Rāma on the mountain Citrakūṭa had shot a blade of grass at a crow
Hanūmat then had caused himself to be seized by the soldiers of Rāvaṇa, and set fire to Laṅkā.
