A further description of the aerial car, Pushpaka.Recitation: 00:00 - 02:05Translation: 02:09 - 05:15

The poet incidentally draws an pen-picture of Ravana's palace and his aerial car known by the name of Pushpaka. Recitation: 00:00 - 04:08Translation: 04:13 - 10:05

Reaching the palace of Ravana, which served as an adornment to Lanka, and having looked for Sita in the adjoining mansions of Prahasta and others, Hanuman now enters the palace of Ravana.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:18Translation: 07:23 - 17:28

Even though seeing the ogres and ogresses of various grades and orders while the moon was ascending the heavens, Hanuman gives way to anxiety on his not being able to find Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:30Translation:06:33 - 15:58

Entering Lanka and hearing the music of various instruments being played upon inside, and also observing the enemy's forces armed with various weapons, Hanuman finds his way into the royal gynaeceum.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:10Translation: 05:14 - 13:36

Appearing in person before Hanuman, while he was making his way into Lanka at night, the mighty ogress, Lankaa, presiding over the city, stops him, striking him with the palm of her hand. Getting unnerved, even though gently smitten with his left fist, she permits the monkey to enter, repeating the words of Brahma, the creator, that the destruction of Lanka should be concluded as imminent when she is overpowered by a monkey.Recitation: 00:00 -08:58Translation: 09:04 - 21:27

Reflecting on the difficulty of penetrating into Lanka, which was strongly guarded by ogres, Hanuman further contracts his body and enters it at moonrise.Recitation: 00:00 - 09:57Translation: 10:00 - 23:55

Desirous of reaching Lanka in order to discover Sita, Hanuman takes a leap from a peak of Mount Mahendra and honouring with the touch of his hand Mount Mainaaka, which rose from the bottom of the sea to provide rest on its peak to Hanuman, encounters Surasaa (mother of Naagas), sent by the gods in the form of an ogress, who was waiting for Hanuman with her mouth open to devour him. He enters her belly assuming a minute form and comes out without killing her. Further he is met by another ogresss, Simhika by name, standing with her mouth wide open to gulp Hanuman. He enters her mouth after assuming a minute form and comes out after splitting her bely open and killing her. Then contracting his body into a minute form again in order to preclude the attention of the ogres, he descends on a mountain peak outside Lanka.Recitation: 00:00 - 34:32Translation: 34:36 - 01:24:22

Proclaiming his own glory in order to dispel the fears of the monkeys after assuming enormous proportions with a view to leaping across the sea, and climbing up Mount Mahendra, Hanuman prepares to take a leap across the sea.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:20Translation: 08:24 - 19:33

Reminding Hanuman of his descent from the loins of the wind-god through Anjana and of the circumstances which led to his getting the name of Hanuman and also how he received boons from Brahma (the creator) and others, and glorifying him, Jambavan encourages Hanuman to leap across the sea and thereby deliver the monkeys from their wretched plight.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:23Translation: 06:28 - 15:15
