By me along has the city Lankā been devastated burnt down and reduced to ashes. And I had announced in the public streets there—“May victory crown the highly powerful Ram and Lakşmaņa, and may the king Sugrīva advance in prosperity being protected by Rāghava. I am the servant of the king of Kosala, the own begotten son of the Wind-God and my name is Hanumān. I have announced thus everywhere.”
मयैव निहता लङ्का दग्धा भस्मीकृता पुरी। राजमार्गेषु सर्वेषु नाम विश्रावितं मया॥ जयत्यतिबलो रामो लक्ष्मणश्च महाबलः। राजा जयति सुग्रीवो राघवेणाभिपालितः॥ अहं कोसलराजस्य दासः पवनसम्भवः। हनूमानिति सर्वत्र नाम विश्रावितं मया॥
