Hanumantha searches Raavanaas building for Seetha

What would he gain by feeling bad?So,he again started searching for Seetha inmany houses.Prahasthudu,Mahaapaarsvudu,Vibheeshanudu,Kumbhakarnudu...like in many of the places,he searched thouroughly.Crossing all those palaces,he came to the palace which belonged to Raavana.It was the best building in the entire city.It was like a diamond to the city of Lanka.There were playing grounds,houses made of beautiful flowered creepers and many interesting features.It was like heaven on Earth.Hanumantha could see Kuberas Pushpaka vimaanam.Pushpaka vimaanam ,aerial cart was made by Mayudu..sculptor for deities,and it was made for the richest person in all three lokas,Kubera.It was very beautiful and majestic.Who eaver in that aerial craft and think of a place to go,it would carry them there safe.It would understand its masters mind and take them to the destination with the speed of the air. Hanumantha looked for Seetha in so many palces.But Alas!he could not find her any where.There was no end to Raavanaas palace. it was so wide and enormous with so many corridors, and buildings within.Hanumantha at last reached to the building where actually Raavana was for that night.Many demons were protecting that building.Hanumantha slowly entered that palace.Raavana had all the wealth which was more than that of Kuvera and Indra put together.Hanumantha could smell wines and food near by and went in that direction.It was as if his father helped him sense the aromas coming out of various wines and cooked food items and fruits. Hanumantha was slowly roaming in the palace.the place was filled with lamps glowing steadily.They looked as if the lamps were meditating without wavering .They all looked like players in the game of dice who lost and bent their heads in shame. Thousand women were sleeping there.All of them were beautiful.Many types of women were there.Some belonged to kings,some belonged to Gandharva clan.Raavana captured most of them and brought them here.Raavana is generally fond of waging war against people.His main reason for bringing women is that if he captures and brings them here,their people would and fight with him.Some other women fell in love with his valour and came to him lovingly and voluntarily.Except Seethadevi.all others came to Raavana lovingly. Hanumantha searched all of their faces and finally came into bed room of Raavana.qRaavana was sleeping .He was huge and looked like Mandhara parvatham,amountain. He was surrounded by his wives on all the four sides. All the women were in different states of mind.Some were playing on musical instruments like veena,mrudangam and other musical instruments.They fell on them and were sleeping on those instruments only.Some of them did not even have sarees on them.Hanumantha was deep in searching for Seetha among them.One was sleeping on a king sized cot.She was very beautiful.Probably she might have been Mandodari,Raavans wife.Hanumantha was awestruck by her beauty,youthfulness,aura,and the way she donned herself.He thought she might be Seetha.He was happy that at last he had found Seetha devi. he clapped his hands.kissed his tail and danced.He sang and danced in joy.He leaped from place to place.He climbed the pillars and ran down them.He did all those things which are common to monkeys.We too generally believe in what appears to be true than what is really true and real. Then he again started thinking.He lashed at himself mentally for thinking so.Can it ever be true?Because of my foolishness I thought so!Can Seetha ever be like that?Seetha,who loves Raamatothe utmost extent...can she even sleep without Raama?Tehn were does the question. Of Seetha being happy adorning herself,drinking wine and sleeping with Raavana arise?This lady can never be Seetha!From ther Hanumantha went to winery room.There also many women were lying after drinking wine and sleeping in haphazard manner.Hanumantha serached for Seetha there but to no avail. Suddenly Hanumantha was afraid.Is it not wrong to see all these women in weird condition,even without their clothes?Is it a sin?Then he composed himself.Even after seeing most of them in various weird positions,his mind did not waver and think in wrong directions like lust.Mind set is more important. More over,his mission was to look for Seetha.So,he had to definitely search for among women only,not any where else.So,he confirmed himself that he did not do anything wrong by searching among them for Seetha.
