Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

After saying this , very near the Himalaya mountains,
He went and sat in the garb of a sage,
A hermitage was seen there due to illusion,
Where he was being served by many sages ,
As well as disciples , people and servants,
Seeing the hermitage of saint there , the son of wind god,
Stood there thoughtfully , “What is the basis ,
Of this hermitage here? I have not seen this earlier,
Has a some blockade come in my way,
I think this is only an imagination of my mind?
I will some how see the saint quench my thirst,
By some drinks . and I will see the great medicine ,
Which is on the very high mountain called,
Dronachalam by the blessing of the great Rama.”
After deciding like this he entered without any difficulty ,
One yojana long very big hermitage of illusion,
Which had a forest of Plantain, jack fruit. Dates,
Coconut and mango which was complete ,
With a lake of plenty of fresh water ,
And there the Rakshasa Kalanemi .
Was performing the Indra yaga, as the chief performer,
For getting the blessings of Lord Shiva,
And seeing him living there doing the worship of Shiva with devotion,
Hanuman saluted that sage who was a chief Rakshasa,
And that son of wind God told him like this.
“I am the emissary of Rama , my name ,
Is Hanuman , I am son of wind God and Anjana ,
I am going to the ocean of milk , for the work,
Of Rama with joy, oh great sage ,
I came here to protect my body,
I am terribly thirsty and I want ,
Some water to drink , please tell me ,
Where is it available as I do not,
Want to wait at any place.”
That Rakshasa hearing what Hanuman told ,
In a tone which was mixed with great mercy,
“Please drink as much water you want from my water pot ,
