The first episode for this week starts off with Hanuman
coming to find Sita. The monkeys decide that he is the one to go to Lanka. This
journey is much more detailed in Buck’s version of the Ramayana. Hanuman rests
on a mountain while journeying to Lanka. He also gets swallowed by a demon, but
he escaped from her by crushing her heart. When Hanuman arrived to Lanka he is
approached by lanka herself. Lanka realizes this is Ravana’s curse coming to
him finally. Hanuman discovered that Ravana was still trying to seduce Sita; luckily
she was still loyal to Rama!
Hanuman finally finds Sita in the ashoka grove where he
tells her about his alliance with Rama. She gave Hanuman a gift to give to Rama
when he returned. Before Hanuman leaves Lanka, he goes a little crazy and
destroys gardens and such. Ravana captured Hanuman where he ordered to set his
tail on fire. Once he did, Hanuman escaped and flew away where he set Lanka on
fire! He finally returns to Rama where he informs him of Sita’s safety. At the
end of this episode they party a bit.
This is a photo of Hanuman crossing the sea to get to Lanka. He first had to pass through the Demon that was protecting the island. Photo found online.
