Hanuman, Captured and Presented In Ravana's Court

Ravana, the king of Lanka said, “Who are you, oh monkey?By whose might have you wrecked havoc in the jungle and destroyed it. Have you never heard of my name (fame and glory)?Oh rogue, I can see that you are extremely fearless.You killed the demons for which offence?Oh fool! Tell me, aren't you scared of losing your life?” (Hanuman replied) “Listen, oh Ravana!By acquiring whose power, maya creates a whole lot of universes. Oh ten-headed one,by whose might Brahma,Vishnu and Mahesh carry on their respective duties of creating, preserving and destroying creation;

Sheshnag,the Thousand-Headed Snake

by whose might the thousand-headed snake (regarded as the symbol of eternity on which Vishnu sleeps throughout periods of dissolution of the world) carries the entire world along with mountains and forests on its head; the Supreme Being who assumes various forms for the protection of deities,and who often teaches a lesson to fools like you; who broke the tough bow of Lord Shiva and simultaneously crushed the pride of assembled kings;

The Killing of Bali\

who killed Khara, Dushana,Trishira and Bali, all unequalled in might.

Ravana Abducting Devi Sita

Due to a fragment of His might you were able to conquer the animate and inanimate world in its entirety and whose wife you have abducted stealthily,I am an envoy of the same Lord.

The Many-Armed Ravana

I very well know of your majestic glory.You fought with your sahasrabahu or multiple arms and acquired fame by warring with Bali. "Hearing the knowledgeable words of Hanuman, Ravana evaded the matter by laughing it away. “Oh master of the demons! I ate the fruits because I was ravenous and uprooted the trees due to a monkey's inherent trait. Oh lord of the devious!The body is supremely dear to everyone. When evil demons following the wicked path began to beat me up then I had no other recourse but to hit those who attacked me.Thereupon your son (Meghnath) tied me in fetters but I am least ashamed of being bound.I am just concerned about accomplishing the task of my Lord.

Oh Ravana, I entreat you with folded hands! Abandoning your arrogance, listen to my advice. Reflecting upon your pure lineage and discarding misapprehension, worship the Lord who dispels the fears of his devotees.Never antagonise the Lord who terrorizes even kaal or time (of death) which devours animate and inanimate beings, gods as well as demons.And return Janaki, at my behest.
