The Padma Purana states:
Having paid respects to his father, mother, and maternal uncle, and having spoken to all, the learned Hanuman, mounted a chariot that shone like the sun, and, encompassing the ten directions with a multitude of weapons, proceeded towards Lanka.
Approaching Lanka, he was as resplendent in his chariot as Indra, the king of the gods, is when he approaches Mount Meru.
As he reached the mountain of water-waves, the sun set, kissing the vast hips of the ocean.
There, after spending the night in pleasant conversation with his valiant companions, Hanuman, with great enthusiasm, set his gaze on Lanka and continued his journey.
He saw various countries, islands, mountains, and crocodiles churning the ocean, and he entered the army of the Rakshasas.
Seeing Hanuman's army, the chieftains of the Rakshasas, with eyes fixed on the abode of Sri Saila, were struck with utter amazement.
Hearing the words, "This is the same glorious one who pulverized the mountain," Hanuman went to Ravana.
Seeing Hanuman, who was adorned with flowers, whose buzzing, intoxicated bees were attracted by the fragrance, and whose chariot was adorned with the radiance of jewels, Ravana rose from his seat on the stone platform, where he was surrounded by his ministers.
Embracing Hanuman, whose body was bent in humility, Ravana sat down beside him, his face beaming with joy.
After inquiring about each other's well-being and seeing each other's prosperity, the two fortunate ones, like two Indras, reveled in their meeting.
Then, Ravana, whose mind was filled with delight, and who was looking at Hanuman with eyes full of affection, said:
"Oh, how much my dear friend, the son of the wind, has increased my love by sending this son, who is an ocean of renowned virtues!
Having obtained this great being, adorned with a halo of brilliance, I have no fear of anything in this vast world."
