Sundara Kandam - Chapter 46 - Hanuman killing the five army commanders

Sarga 46 - Sundarakanda of Valmiki Ramayana - Killing of the five army commanders by Hanuman #sundarakanda #valmikiramayana #chapter46
Ravana sends Virupaksha, Yupaksha, Durdhara, Praghasa and Bhasakarna the five foremost army-generals so as to capture Hanuman. Ravana explains his guess, saying to those five generals that Hanuman may not be an ordinary monkey, but an evil spirit created by Indra, the Lord of celestials and asks them to exert a great effort to capture him. Hanuman first kills Durdhara who initially attacks him. He then kills Virupaksha and Yupaksha, by attacking them with a sala tree. Hanuman later kills Praghasa and Bhasakarna, by hurling the top of a mountain on them. After destroying the remaining army together with horses elephants and chariots, he again returns to the archy door way of the Ashoka groove.
