With much difficulty and after going through numerous trials, Hanuman carried the medicine mountain, Gandhamadana, to Lanka. The Vanara physician Sushena climbed on the mountain and started searching its peaks for the medicine. He got the herbs and made a paste from them. He then held the paste under Lakshmana's nose.
Blood started flowing in the veins. The broken ribs became
like before. Slowly Lakshmana came to life. All were overjoyed. Jambuvan said,
"It was best that Hanuman returned the mountain to its original
place." Hanuman rose into the sky with the mountain.
Ravana saw Hanuman flying. He asked seven rakshasas to go
and grab Hanuman and kill him. They flew behind Hanuman and tried to grab him.
Grabbing them with his tail, Hanuman dashed to the ground, killing them. One of
them managed to survive and he went and gave the news to Ravana.
Hanuman, in the meanwhile, kept the mountain where it was.
Now knowing which herb was medicinal, Hanuman took a few leaves and crushed
them in his hands. He had sprinkled the juice over the Gandharvas whom he had
killed. The Gandharvas came to life and started attacking Hanuman again.
Hanuman fled from there and flew back towards Lanka.
Upon his return, Hanuman was greeted with great joy and
relief. His timely action had not only saved Lakshmana but also reaffirmed his
status as a revered and mighty warrior. The news of Lakshmana’s recovery spread
quickly, boosting the morale of Rama's army.
Rama embraced Hanuman, expressing his gratitude for the
Vanara's unwavering dedication and bravery. The entire Vanara army hailed
Hanuman's name, praising his incredible feat of carrying the mountain across
the skies. The atmosphere was charged with renewed hope and determination to
fight against Ravana and his forces.
Hanuman's heroics became legendary, symbolizing his devotion
to Rama and his unparalleled strength and valor. The successful mission with
the Gandhamadana mountain was celebrated and would be recounted in the annals
of the Ramayana for generations to come.
Meanwhile, back in Lanka, Ravana seethed with anger at the
failure of his rakshasas. He realized that the defeat of his forces was
imminent if warriors like Hanuman continued to support Rama. This only fueled
Ravana’s determination to employ even more sinister and desperate measures to
ensure his victory.
In the camp of Rama, the revival of Lakshmana signaled the beginning of a renewed offensive. The warriors, inspired by Hanuman's success, prepared themselves for the battles ahead with a firm resolve to defeat Ravana and restore peace and dharma.
