HanumŒn assumed a form as small as a gnat and, invoking the Lord in human semblance (BhagavŒn Ýr¶ RŒma), headed towards La˘kŒ. (At the gateway of La˘kŒ) lived a demoness, La˘kin¶ by name. “Where should you be going heedless of me?” she said. “Fool, have you not been able to know who I am? Every thief hereabout is my food.” The great monkey dealt her such a blow with his fist that she toppled down vomiting blood. Then, recovering herself, La˘kŒ (La˘kin¶), stood up, and joining her palms in dismay, humbly addressed him, “When BrahmŒ granted RŒva˜a the boon he had asked for, the Creator furnished me with the following clue (to the extermination of the demon race) while departing:—‘When you get discomfited by a blow from a monkey, know that all is over with the demon race.’ I must have earned very great merit, dear HanumŒn, that I have been blessed with the sight of Ýr¶ RŒma’s own messenger. (1—4)
