After successfully meeting Sita and delivering Rama's message, Hanuman decided to create chaos in Lanka as a way to demonstrate his power and demoralize the demons. Hanuman began his mischief by raiding a beautiful mango orchard. He devoured all the ripe mangoes and then started uprooting the trees and tearing them apart, causing significant destruction. The noise and the destruction alerted the Rakshasas (demons) who were tasked with guarding the orchard and the surrounding area.
The Rakshasas attempted to confront Hanuman, but they found
themselves powerless against his strength and agility. They could not capture
or subdue him, no matter how hard they tried.
A brave Rakshasa, Dhumralochana, decided to attack Hanuman.
He went prepared with weapons. Dhumralochana was known for his fierce
appearance, with eyes that emitted smoke and a body that radiated terror.
Confident in his strength, Dhumralochan believed he could defeat the intruder.
Hanuman saw Dhumralochan coming and decided to use his wit
along with his strength. He reduced his size and hid in the fence. The
Rakshasas looking for him could not find him. Thinking the monkey had fled,
they went homewards.
Seeing them leave, Hanuman hurled large boulders at them and
killed them. Dhumralochana, however, was not deterred. He charged at Hanuman
with his weapons, ready to strike. But Hanuman, with his lightning-fast
reflexes, evaded Dhumralochan's attacks. In a swift and powerful move, Hanuman
grabbed a nearby tree trunk and struck Dhumralochana with it.
The impact was so immense that Dhumralochan was instantly
killed. His body lay motionless on the ground, a testament to Hanuman's
formidable strength. The remaining Rakshasas, witnessing the fall of their
brave warrior, fled in terror and reported to Ravana about the death of
Dhumralochana.
This incident further demoralized the demons of Lanka and
showcased Hanuman's might and strategic brilliance. His actions served as a
stark warning to Ravana and his army about the impending doom that awaited them
if they continued their opposition to Rama.
