Later, when Hanumāna is on his mission to search Sitā, and make Rāvana ( who is also him relative ) realize him folly, he has to fight a gruesome battle with Lanka-Sundari - the daughter of Vajrāyudha, whom Hanumāna ħas already slaughtered in a battle ( 52/29-45 ). She fights vigorously & valiantly. Before long, they fall victim to the arrows of 'Kama'( i. e., Cupid ), the lovegod, and find themselves in each other's embrace --

He suffer a pang of lust in his heart, the moment he looks at the mere portrait of Padmarăga sent by her father Sugriva with a marriage-proposal. How very knavishly he muses ! Please mark his instant reaction --
अजात एवास्मि न यावदेनां प्राप्नोमि कन्यामिति जातचित्तः। THIRTEER an git: guta gutaye | ( 19/120 )
"If I do not achieve this maid, my taking birth amounts to nothing. Musing so in him heart, he atonce leaves for the capital of Sugriva's kingdom in full regalia."
