SUNDARA KANDAM

CHAPTER 4 – HANUMAN’S SEARCH IN LANKA

VERSE 8-13 (Translated by Swami Tapasyananda)

8. Hanuman, the emissary of Rama and the well-wisher
of Sugreeva the monkey king, delightfully traveled
everywhere in the city charming with decorations
consisting of variegated garlands.

9. Of diverse designs were the houses into which the
son of the Wind-god entered one after another.

10. He heard the intoxicated ladies of the city
singing ravishingly like the women of the Apsaras, in
three kinds of pitch known as Taram, Madhyam and
Mandram proceeding from the head, neck and chest
respectively.

11. From the house of the noblemen he heard, besides
loud laughters the tinkling sound of waistbands and
anklets, the sounds produced when people ascended the
staircases.

12. He heard also the sound of Mantras uttered by
Rakshasas doing Japa in their homes.

13. Hanuman saw some Rakshasas who were engaged in
Vedic studies and many others singing   the panegyrics
of Ravana.
