Summary of contents: Reflecting on the difficulty of penetrating into Lanka, which was strongly guarded by ogres, Hanuman further contracts his body and enters it at moonrise. 17 Appearing in person before Hanuman, while he was making his way into Lanka at night, the mighty ogress presiding over the city stops him, striking him with the palm of her hand. Getting unnerved even though gently smitten with his left fist, she permits the monkey to enter, repeating the words of Brahma (the creator) that the destruction of Lanka should be concluded as imminent when she is overpowered by a monkey

Original transliteration of Sanskrit words using IAST:
