In the meantime, the spies of Ravana understood the state of affairs in the camp of Rama was duly reported to Ravana, who in turn summoned the demon Kalanemi  and informed the journey of Hanuman to collect herbs to save the life of Lakshman, but Kalanemi was not willing to follow Dhashanan, he bet his head in regret, and advised Ravana “Oh! Friend, no one can obstruct the mighty Vanara, Hanuman who burnt your city Lanka into ashes before your eyes. Therefore, leave your animosity against that Lord Sri Ramachandra and restore peace in your kingdom, otherwise all your efforts will go in vain. Oh! Friend, leave your hostility towards Lord Sri Ramachandra who is the source of supreme bliss, has marvelous appearance, lotus like eyes, and beautiful limbs, Oh! Friend, leave your lust, desire, anger, ego, pride, jealousy, Ahamkara and Mamakara, leave your interest in worldly matters, body consciousness, and bondage, can you conquer the supreme Lord who is the essence of Time, devour the Universe and its animate and inanimate things?”
