Hanuman meets Ruesi Narot

Hanuman tests Ruesi Narot's kindness
Once Hanuman had beaten and killed Phi Suea Samut, he mutated into his flying form, and, brandishing his trident, flew through the air until he reached Mount Solos (Solasa), which was in fact already beyond Langka island. Hanuman had mistaken the mountan for Mount Nilakala. As he flew, he noticed the roof of an Ashram - the Ashram was in fact none other than that of the Master Ruesi Narot (Narada). (Ruesi are called "Rishi" in India)

Hanuman flew down to the ground and, casting magical incantations he turned himself into a small white monkey and approached the Ashram of Ruesi Narot and pretended to bow in reverence to the Hermit Sage or great renown.
Ruesi Narot saw the little monkey bowing, and asked hime "Who are you sir?" "Where do you come from? and what do you want here?"
Hanuman heard this, and rose his hands in reverence, replying "I sir, do not have a name!" "I was wandering in the forest and heard that Langka City was so large and grand, that i decided i would come to see it". "But i don't know how to get there - please can you tell me where it is?".
Ruesi Narot answered "You like to joke don't you little monkey? Why do you come and ask me what you already should know? can you not see that Mount Nilakala is right over there in the middle of that great city to the South East of here, can't you see it or what?".

Hanuman was pleased to hear this helpful reply from the Hermit Sage; thus continued his testing and said "Oh kind and great Ruesi, please have mercy on me, for i have lost my way in the evening dusk, and now i am very tired and hungry. please let me stay and rest here for a while. I promise that in the morning when i am recovered i shall pay my respects and then leave".
Ruesi Narot believed Hanuman that he was a simple forest monkey, and agreed to let him stay the night at the Ashram. Hanuman bowed and followed the Ruesi to a room behind the main Ashram where the hermit Sage said he could rest.

From right to left, you can observe how Hanuman sees the Ashram from the sky, flies down and approaches the Ruesi disguised as a normal forest monkey, sits at the campfire chatting, and finally (middle image), lays his head to rest in a room of the Ashram



Hanuman began to wonder why the Ruesi wold choose to reside in Langka with the Yaksas; This Hermit Sage must have some kind of special powers or magical abilities. Hanuman decided he wanted to put this to the test, and see how powerful the Ruesi really was.

Pii Suea Samut

Hanuman Kills Phii Sua Samut; the Guardian of the Waters of Langka

Pii Suea Samut was a giant Yaksa; Totsagan had given her the task of being the guardian of the waters around Langka, and she patrolled the seas surrounding all entrances to the city, which was of course hidden to the eyes of potential invaders by the magical crystal parasol. She would not permit anyone to pass these waters and make the crossing to Langka wiithout permission to enter Langka. She was a fearsome Yaksa indeed, with fiery eyes and long tusks growing out of her mouth, which reached up to her eyes. As Hanuman flew over the waters on nis journey to find Naang Siidaa to give hter the ring and a message from Pra Ram, Phii Suea Samut saw him, and flung her great club at him, which smashed into Hanuman. Hanuman responded by flying down to her and attacked her with his "Dtri" (a small hand held trident, which was Hanuman's traditional weapon of preference). A furious fight ensued, and Phii Sue Samut tried with all her might to break Hanuman's resolve - Hanuman flew at her with his trident, and Phi Suea Samut craftily opened her gaping maw of a mouth to eat him. But to her surprise, Hanuman jumped forward and dashed into her mouth, crawling into her head, and ran hectically from left to right between her ears, bashing both ears with all his might, leaving her head ringing in pain. Then he ran down into her stomach and started kicking ad punching her insides. Phii Suea Samut was in such pain, and wanted Hanuman out of her body, but no matter how she tried she could not get him out from inside her.


Then Hanuman drew his trident and sliced her stomach open, throwing her intestines and guts out into the sea for the fish to eat, and sprang out to cut off her hands and arms, which he also threw to become fish food. In no time at all. Phii Suea Samut's lifeforce left her, and she died in the waters close to the banks of Langka Kingdom. Langka the Kingdom of Totsagan, had resoun for mourning this day, for they had lost their guardian of the ocean waters, which was one of their greatest defence strategies.
