There was a demoness who dwelt in the ocean and would catch the birds in the
air by conjuring tricks. Seeing on the surface of the water the reflection of the creature
that coursed in the air she would catch it and the bird was unable to move. In this way
she would devour birds everyday. She employed the same trick against Hanumån, but
the chief of monkeys at once saw through her game. The valiant son of the wind-god
dispatched her and swept across the ocean, resolute of mind as he was. Reaching the
other shore he gazed on the loveliness of the forest with the bees humming in quest of
honey. Trees of various kinds looked charming with fruits and flowers; and he was
particularly delighted at heart to see the numerous birds and beasts. Beholding a huge
mountain ahead of him, he fearlessly ran up to its summit. The chief of the monkeys, O
Umå (Pårvat∂), deserved no credit for it: it was all attributable to the glory of the Lord, who
devours Death himself. Climbing up the hill he surveyed La∆kå, a most marvellous
fortress that defied description. It was very high and was enclosed by the ocean on all
sides. The ramparts of gold shed great lustre all round. (1ó6)
