Indrajith captures Hanumantha

Then Raavana sent his son,Akshudu ,to fight with Hanumantha. Both of them fought ferociously for a long time.Hanumatha realised his opponents strength.Then,he held him by his feet and rotated him in air thousand times and thrashed him to the ground and killed him.Hearing this news,Raavana was sad.He became angry.He called his son,Indrajith and talked to him.Son!this vaanara seems to be a great warrior.You not only have physical strength but also have powerful arrows with you.Nothing is impossible to you.You defeated many warriors.Even then,be alert,assess your opponents strength and weakness and act accordingly.Sending you to war now is not an appropriate act on my part.But as per rules you should be sent yo war now.So,go and fight with Hanumantha and defeat him. Indrajith saluted his father and went to war.Heavy war ensued between Indrajith and Hanumantha.Indrajith tried to attack him powerful arrows but Hanumantha leaped into the sky and escaped.Indrajith realised he can not win over Hanumantha.So,atleast he wanted to bind him. so,he released Brahmaasthram on the monkey.Hanumantha knows that he can not be affected by Brahmaasthram as per the boon given to him by Brahma.Even then respecting the Brahmaasthram ,he fell down and lied on the ground unmoving.He thought that even if the demons catch him and take him to Raavna,it would be for good only. When Hanumantha looked like as if he fainted and was silent,demons neared him and bound him with ropes.Hanumantha did not oppose them.If bound by some other thing,effect of Brahmaasthram would be nullified.So,its effect was lost on Hanumantha.Indrajith was sad to note this development,he knew that his Brahmaasthram has gone waste because of the ignorance of his soldiers.
