Description

When his rakshasa army was destroyed in the battle against Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, Ravana, the Lord of Lanka, called for his son Mahiravana, a powerful magician. Would he succeed in killing the noble Rama and Lakshmana? Not while Hanuman was around, for this faithful friend had a trick or two of his own. The Bengali Krittivasa Ramayana written by poet Krittivasa in the 15th century describes how Hanuman manages to get around the wily sorcerer s schemes.
