Ravan tormented Sita and set all the demonesses upon her to wear down her grief and resolve. At that very time, great lord Hanuman, you went there and slew mighty night-prowling demons.

Who in this world does not know, O Kapi, that your name is Sankat Mochan, the remover of troubles?

When the weapon loosed by Ravan's son struck Lakshman's chest and his life seemed to slip away, you brought the physician Sushen together with his very house, and then, O hero, uprooted the Drona mountain.
