Hanuman did not want to create a scene and become the centre of attraction. Or else, his mission of finding Mother Sita would be in jeopardy! “I assure you that I am here just to roam about for a while and then I will be gone!” Hanuman tried to tell Lankini. But instead of listening to him, she hit him. Without saying a word, Hanuman gave her a hefty punch. Instantly, she fell down with a loud thud. Her mouth was bleeding profusely from the impact. After some time, she struggled to get up. She bowed before Hanuman and said, “O Lord! I now remember what Brahma had prophesied. He had come here to bless Ravan. But before returning, he said that the day a monkey would hit the guard at Lanka’s entrance, the downfall of Ravan would begin. I now know for certain that Ravan is heading towards disaster. I feel blessed to see you!”
