CHAPTER SIX:
the diadem of the lord of Rākşasas into pieces with a kick. As Rāvaņa cried, “Kill him! Seize him!” he destroyed the city with blows of his feet as if it had no lord. After furnishing amusement in this way, Pāvani flew up like Garuda, went to Rāma, bowed, and delivered Sita's crestjewel. Rāma put Sītā's crest-jewel over his heart, as if Sītā had come in person, touching it again and again. Questioned graciously by Dāśarathi who embraced him like a son, Hanumat related the humiliation of Daśavaktra and all the news of Sītā in detail, the success of his strength of arm being heard by others.
