After bowing his head at Rama’s feet, the incarnation of Seshnag went forth at once and with him Angad, Nila, Mayanda, Nala, and the valiant Hanuman.
Chaupai
Without an effort Hanumân took up his body and put it at the gate of the city and returned. When they heard of his death, the gods and Gandharvas mounted their chariots and came thronging the heaven, showering down flowers and beating drums and hymning the spotless renown of the divine Raghubir. “Glory to Seshnâg, glory to the world-supporter; You, O Lord, are the Saviour of all the gods.” Having thus hymned his praises, the gods and saints withdrew, while Lakshman went and presented himself before the All-merciful. When the Ten-headed heard of his son’s death, he swooned away and fell to the ground; Mandodari made grievous lamentation, beating her breast and ever calling upon his name; the citizens too were all sorrowful and dismayed and with one consent reviled Râvan.
