Vanaras set fire to Lanka

The air was full of sounds proclaiming Victory to Rama. Ravana was scared. This army of vanaras and humans would destroy Lanka. All who were dead have risen. The night is not yet over, and they have come up alive. How was this possible? What kind of enemy was this, that did not die even if killed? Forget the war, I will close the doors of the city of Lanka. The enemy will not be able to enter.

Ravana ordered the doors of the city to be closed. For five days the doors remained closed. Seeing this

Something had to be done. Sugriva went to Rama. Seeing him, Rama asked him if he had an clue why Ravana locked the doors of Lanka. When Sugriva was clueless, Rama looked towards Jambuvana for help. Jambuvana said The only way to find out was to send vanaras inside Lanka. They would set fire to the city. Lanka doors would have to be opened.

Vanaras went into the city. They grabbed all the cloth they could find and soaked those in btter and oil and left those on the roofs of the houses. Later coming back with flaming torches, they set fire to the cloth pieces.

Chaos started inside the city. People started running around trying to escape from the flames. Enjoying this, Hanumana jumped from house to house, burning whatever and whomever he could see.
