The Rakshas soldiers were very enthusiastically were tying Hanuman once again with ropes, but the son of Vayu didn't cower. He kept a reserved smile on his face, he had no anguish I'm mind.

The Rakshas soldiers lit the tail of Hanuman on fire and began to drag him around the lanes of Lanka, while Hanuman pondered how to turn this moment into an opportunity.

'Yu toh mai saralta se yaha se nikal sakta hu, kintu maine Lanka ko keval raatri mei dekha hai, divas mei dekhne ka isse accha avsar nahi milega.' Hanuman thought.

Thus he let the Rakshasas parade him for a while. Several citizens had gathered to see the enemy of their state.

When they brought him close to the city entrance, Hanuman swiftly broke the bondages and jumped high to settle on the tall entry gate. He expanded his body to the colossal size once again.

Hanuman began leaping from one building to another, setting them on fire with his burning tale. And within span of few moments a large part of Lanka was on fire. Citizens were running here and there, trying to save themselves. There was utter chaos. The only major building that he had left was that of Vibhishan.

Hanuman then leaped into the ocean water to extinguish the fire. He was about to leave but then got reminded of Devi Sita. Was she safe ? Or did the fire engulf her too ?

Panic-stricken, Hanuman flew back to Ashok Vatika to check and took a sigh of relief seeing she was untouched by the fire.

"Ab jaane ki anumati de Mata." Hanuman said.

"Shigreh laut ana Hanuman." Devi Sita smiled.

"Jo aapki aagya." Hanuman said and left.

But on his way a captured figure caught his eyes. He went there and saw a fearsome but godly looking being tied up by his hands and feet, hanging upside down in the air.

"Aap kaun hai ? Kripiya apna parichaye de." Hanuman requested.

"Mai Suryaputra Shani." He said.

"Shanidev ? Lanka mei ?" Hanuman muttered.

"Ravan ka bandhi hu. Tum kaun ho ?" Shanidev asked.

"Mai aapke Pita, Suryadev ka shishya aur aapke Bhai Sugreev ka mantri Vayuputra Hanuman hu." He said.

"Oh. Fir toh tum mere bandhu lage." Shanidev said.

"So toh hu. Ab Bandhu hone ke naate mai aapko mukt kar deta hu." Hanuman said.

And so he broke the chains of that were binding Shani dev one by one with his mere hands. Finally getting back on his feet the Karmfaldata sighed in relief.

"Jayiye prabhu. Ab aap mukt huye." Hanuman said.

"Hanuman tumne mujhe mukt kiya hai iss liye mai tumhe vardaan deta hu ki jo tumhari puja karega woh meri Shani dasha ka prabhav se mukt ho jayega." Shanidev blessed.

"Dhanyawad prabhu." Hanuman joined his hand.

Shanidev's eyes then fell on the Lanka which was caught on flames.

"Hanuman, yeh shubh karya tumne kiya ?" Shanidev asked.

"Kaam toh Shri Ram ka hai, mai toh keval nimit maatra hu. Ravan ne meri puchh jalayi, maine uski Lanka." Hanuman said.

"Tumhe peeda nahi huyi ?" Shanidev asked.

"Nahi. Yeh toh Mata Sita, Pitadev Vayu aur Shri Ram ki kripa hai." Hanuman said.

"Tum dhanya ho. Aaj mujhe woh din smaran ho gaya jis din hum Navgraho ki Mata ne Mahakaleshwari roop le Lanka ko dooba diya tha. Yadi tab Ravan kuch seekh leta toh aaj yeh na hota." Shanidev said.

"Yadi ab nahi samjha toh isse bhi buri dasha hogi. Ab jaane ki aagya chahta hu." Hanuman said.

"Yashashvi bhava !" Shanidev blessed.

----

"Meri bhet Devi Sita se huyi. Woh Lanka mei har kshan aapki pratiksha mei kathor vrat dharan kare huye hai." Hanuman said bowing to Shri Ram and giving him the chudamani of Devi Sita.

Everyone was overjoyed and filled with energy and enthusiasm. Sugreev's confidence in Hanuman's abilities had been vindicated once again and Shri Ram now looked at Hanuman with more enhanced respect.

"Hanuman, tumhare alawa yeh karya sidh karne ka swapn bhi koi nahi dekh sakta tha. Tumne Sugreev ko kritagya kiya hai aur mere parivaar ke dharm ki raksha ki hai. Abhi mere paas tumhe dene ke liye sneh se paripurn aalingan ke siwaye kuch nahi hai." Shri Ram said.

And thus he gave Hanuman a tight affectionate embrace. Shri Ram couldn't express in words how happy and grateful he was, that he got news of his dear wife being alive, all because of Hanuman.
