Suddenly he got stuck with the worry “ arrey, how foolishly I have acted without thinking about Sita Amma also being present iside and whether she is also burnt, in which case, whatever purpose I was sent here for is fully destroyed by me.

Indrajith decided to use Brahmmaasthram and chanted the suitable manthram. He aimed it towards Aanjaneyar who saw it and remembered his boon from Lord Brahma that he is not t...

Chapter 41 Aanjaneyar starts destroying the Ashoka vanam Aanjaneyar thinks “ The purpose of Sugreevan sending me here as Rama Dhoothan to search for the whereabouts of Sita Amma is accomplished. But before I start to go back, it is wise to getsome details about Raavanan’s army, about Ravanan’s pattern of behaviour and also the relevant places in Lanka, since I raomed around in Lanka during the night only and have not identified yet. To do this, I must draw the attention of Raavanan towards my presence so that he will send his army people and on destroying them ,I will get an opportunity to meet Raavanan and converse with him.
