Chapter 88: Hanuman off to Lanka

H and others rest desperately. Not knowing how to find Sita. All are disappointed. And to not want to return empty handed as well. At that time comes another Eagle-Man, thanking God that after so many days, atlast he has got so many people to eat. But upon descent, one of H’s Co says he looks similar to Jataayu. Eagle man says he is Sampathi – J’s bro. But how do they know about J? The story of Sita Kidnap and J’s fight in vain and ultimately death. Sampathi cries. By his literal foresight, he could predict that Sita is in AV in Lanka. All thank him and he goes off.
Sita feels twitching of her eyes. A good sign of good news. So HAV says maybe Rama came to know about her stay in AV.

H and Angadh (Yuvraj of Sugreev), Jambuvan and other come to beach and span the ocean towards Lanka. Mighty. No one can span it. How? Is the question.

Then, Jambuvan comes and tells Hanuman: ‘You are the strongest in this whole world. Even while you were a kid, you ate Sun, thinking it was a fruit, thereby darkening the whole world. Then, you went to Rishivar and broke his meditation to ask about Rama. Rishi only knew Ayodhya’s Rama but not Rama as the Creator of the World. For you, Rama is everything and all else of little value. Rishi, got angry as you put little value to him as well and cursed that you would not be aware of your strength until someone tells you. Here I am telling you. You are the strongest.’

H gains confidence. He flies across the ocean. He encounters a demonness who wants him to enter her mouth. He tells her that he is on a mission and promises to accept her wishes once he is done with the job. She: ‘No way. Go inside my mouth now. You have promised me!’ So he becomes his Mammoth Hulk and could not fit into her mouth. So she widens her mouth.

Suddenly he becomes very small and goes inside her mouth and comes out before she closes. So his promise is fulfilled. She transforms into an angel, saying she was sent by Devathas to test his ability to handle crisis and he had passed. She wishes him good luck.
