Summary of contents: Commanded by Ravana, Prahasta inquires of Hanuman as to who he was as also his motive in devastating the royal pleasance and killing the ogres. In reply Hanuman says that he destroyed the grove in order that he might be taken captive and dragged to the presence of Ravana, whom he was eager to see, and was compelled in self-defence to kill those who stood in his way. In the end he declares himself to be a messenger of Shri Rama and adds that, though proof against the missile presided over by Brahma, he submitted to its influence only in order to be able to see Ravana

She told him about the atrocities committed by Ravana and the other Rakshasas. Then Indra took Bhumidevi (cow) to Brahma, who took them to Shiva at Kailasa as killing Ravana was beyond his (Brahma s) power.
