Devi Surasa spoke “Oh! Hanuman, you are the storehouse of virtues, courage, and intelligence, you will definitely accomplish the task of Rama.” Devi Surasa blessed Hanuman, soon he darted into the sky and disappeared among the clouds. There was a female demon living in the ocean, Cchayagrahi/who catches the pry by its shadow, she hunts birds by catching their shadows on the surface of ocean waters, noticed the mighty Hanuman who was speeding up, utilized her trick on him. Soon Hanuman experienced difficulty in moving further, understood that it was the trick employed by the female demon, he caught her in hand and ripped her off into pieces, thus he proceeded the journey. Finally, Hanuman arrived on the other side of the seashore, he witnessed the stunning forest surrounded by the shore, trees, and plants are loaded with flowers and fruits, buzzing honey bees, various species of birds and animals, and a beautiful hill in the midst of the forest. Soon, Hanuman took a leap to the hill and took a seat on the summit of the hill. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, in fact, the chief of the Vanaras Hanuman does not deserve any praise for his valor, it was the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra who is capable to devour the death. Hanuman sitting on the peak of the mountain looked around, took a keen survey of the marvelous city of Lanka, which was beyond description. The magnificent fortresses decorated with gold and various precious gems of Lanka revealing intense luster, it was surrounded by huge walls, and ocean waters from four sides.”
