Perceiving the destruction of the royal pleasance at the hands of Hanuman, the ogresses keeping watch over Sita asked her who he was. On Sita&#39;s pleading her ignorance in the matter, some of them hurriedly seek the presence of Ravana and report the matter to him. Hanuman makes short work of a company of ogres known by the name of Kinkaras, despatched by Ravana. Thereupon Ravana sends Prahasta&#39;s son to punish the intruder.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:31Translation: 07:33 - 16:42
