IMAGE number: BL3306346
Image title: Hanumān has allowed himself to be bound and taken before Rāvaṇa, who is seated on a great throne in his palace, with his ministers around him. He announces himself as the messenger of Rāma and demands Sītā's return. Rāvaṇa angrily orders him to be put to death, but VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a, Rāvaṇa's brother, humbly entreats Rāvaṇa to spare the life of a messenger, as envoys may be punished but not killed. Rāvaṇa orders Hanumān instead to be led through the city with his tail bound in oily rags and set alight. Hanumān first allows himself to suffer this indignity, but then frees himself and sets fire to the city with his blazing tail.
