जय श्रीराम!
निर्वाप्य प्रियसंदेशैः सीतामक्षवधोद्धतः ।
स ददाह पुरीं लङ्कां क्षणसोढारिनिग्रहः ॥१२.६३॥
Notes: Kālidāsa says," Hanumān gave solace and relief to Sītā by giving her the loving message of assurance from Śrīrāma. Then he encountered in battle Akṣa, the valiant son of Rāvaṇa, whom he killed. Emboldened, he vanquished many more warriors, until he allowed himself to be captured by the enemy Indrajit so that he could meet Rāvaṇa, and warn him of the consequences of his abducting Sītā. Finally, Hanumān set Laṅkā on fire, giving the enemy a foretaste of what was to come."
