## The Fifteenth Chapter
The Muni (sage) Gautama, Hanumaan, and Vibhishana, with their minds firmly set, took the vows of householders. ||1||
The wise do not praise the stability of Mount Sumeru as much as they praise the unwavering character and right vision of Hanumaan. ||2||
Thus, when Gautama praised Hanumaan with words of auspiciousness, the king Shrenik, his body trembling with excitement, said: ||3||
"O Lord of the assembly! Who is Hanumaan? What are his special qualities? Where and from whom did he originate? O Lord, I wish to know his true character." ||4||
Then, the assembly leader, whose heart was filled with joy at the mention of the virtuous, spoke in a voice that brought delight: ||5||
"O King! In the southern range of the Vijaya mountain, after crossing ten yojanas, lies a beautiful city called Aditya-pura. There, the king was named Prahlad and his queen was Ketumati." ||6-7||
"From them was born a son named Pavana-Gati, whose broad chest was made the dwelling place of Lakshmi." ||8||
"Seeing him in the fullness of youth, his father, fearing the loss of his lineage, was worried about his marriage." ||9||
"O King! Let this story rest for now. Hold another story in your heart, so that the discussion of Pavana-Gati's marriage can continue." ||10||
"At the end of this Bharat-kshetra, near the ocean, in the southeast direction, lies a mountain called Danta." ||11||
"It is adorned with towering, shining peaks, covered with various trees and herbs, and its vast shores are filled with excellent waterfalls." ||12||
"On this mountain, a Vidhyadhara named Mahendra, possessing the prowess of Indra himself, established a magnificent city." ||13||
