## The Fifty-Third Chapter **215.** Having quickly assembled his army along with the Meghavahana, Indrajit followed close behind Hanuman. **216.** Hanuman was ready to fight him, but the army following behind the Meghavahana had already arrived. **217.** A fierce battle ensued on the outskirts of Lanka between Hanuman and the Vidyadharas, similar to the battle between Lakshmana and Kharadushana. **218.** Mounting a chariot drawn by four swift horses, Hanuman drew his bow and charged towards the Rakshasas. **219.** After a long battle, Hanuman, bound by Indrajit's naga-pasha, was taken into the city, lost in thought. **220.** He, who had previously been seen as a thunderbolt, was now observed with a sense of calm by the city dwellers. **221.** He was then taken to Ravana's court, where Ravana listened to the accusations against him, as narrated by his wise men. **222.** They informed Ravana that Hanuman, summoned as an envoy, had gone to Kishkindha from his own city. On his way back to Lanka, he had destroyed the city of King Mahendra and brought it under the control of the enemy. **223.** He had also dispelled the curse of the sage couple on the island called Dadhimukha and had granted permission to the three daughters of the Gandharva king to marry Rama. **224.** He had destroyed the Vajrakota of King Vajramukha, accepted the Lanka Sundari as his bride, and stationed his army outside the city. **225.** He had destroyed the Pushpagarika garden, terrified its female guardians, killed many servants, and destroyed the places for drinking water and other necessities. **226.** He had destroyed the young trees that were constantly nourished by the milk from the breasts of the women who had nurtured them like their own sons. **227.** He had uprooted the vines with their swaying leaves from the trees and cast them on the ground, making them look like widowed women. **228.** He had destroyed the various kinds of trees laden with fruits and flowers, leaving them resembling the trees in a graveyard.
