In the heaven Shiva asked Brahma how Rama and Lakshmana would be freed. Brahma said -
Once there was a Gandharva called Shatrudhanu who used to sing and dance in front of Vishnu. Once the sage Ashtavakra came to see Vishnu. Seeing the sage's body which was bent, the gandharva started laughing and lost the beat at which he was singing. The sage cursed him to be born as a rakshasha.
The gandharva said This is too big a curse for something which I did. I had no bad intention.
The sage said What I said will happen. You will stay in the nether world and will be a devotee of Shiva and Durga. Vishnu will be born as Rama and then Hanumana will cut off your head and you will be relieved.
Mahiravana asked Rama to bow and Rama asked him to show how. The moment Mahiravana did that, Hanumana cut off Mahiravana's head.
The gandharva was freed and Hanumana freed the tied Rama and Lakshmana. Rama embraced Hanumana.
