Hanumana gets ready

Rama rushed back and took Lakshmana's head on his lap. He started looking at others for help.
He said Lakshmana is a part of me. Without Lakshmana I am nothing. I will not return back to Ayodhya. I came to the forest on my father's word and this is what has happened.

The Gods in the heaven said - Do not grieve Rama, Lakshmana will live.

Rama said to Sushena - Please help my brother.

Sushena said Lakshmana still has some life in him. Please send Hanumana to get the medicine. With that, I will bring Lakshmana back to life.

Rama said I am in no position to do any thing, you please tell Hanumana.

Sushena then said to Hanumana - Please get the medicine for Lakshmana. Go to the mountain called Gandhamadana. There is the medicine called Vishalyakarani. The mountain has nine peaks. One one peak live Shiva. One the second peak lives the Sun. Third peak is the abode of the Gandharvas. Fouth peak has Sal trees. Fifth peak has lions and tigers. The sixth peak has a river flowing. One the banks of the river are the medicinal trees with blue flowers and yellow leaves, The branches are red in color and it has golden colored vines. Get that for me. This has to be brought before the sun rises. Beware of the Gandharvas HaHa and HuHu who live there.

Rama said this will take years, how will Hanumana come back before dawn.

Hanumana said Do not worry, I will go and get the medicine before the night ends.

Saying this, Hanumana got ready. He folded his ears and using his tail for balancing, jumped into the sky. He increased his size to twenty yojanas and sped on.

Ravana saw this. He knew Hanumana was going for the medicine to revive Lakshmana. He needed to foil Hanumana's attempt.

Sushena applies medicine on Lakshmana

Rama then sent for Sushena. He said to Sushena - You know the power of medicines. Lakshmana is wounded. He still has parts of arrows sticking in his body. Please help him.

Sushena got his medicines and went where Lakshmana was. He slowly extracted the arrows from the body of Lakshmana. He then applied his medicine on the wounds. The smell of the medicines and the medicine entering the blood stream of Lakshmana did wonders. Lakshmana's body became like it was earlier.

Rama was pleased to see this. He said to Sushena that there was no one equal to him in the science of medicines. 

Hanumana revives all

Seeing the mountain not respond, Hanumana got angry. He started grinding his teeth in anger. It was time to teach the mountain a lesson. He started pulling at the base of the mountain. With a great creaking sound, the mountain was dug out. It created chaos on the mountain. Animals started falling on each other. Many sages meditating were rudely awakened.

Taking the form of a sage, the mountain appeared in front of Hanumana. The sage asked Hanumana who he was and why he was acting in that manner.

Hanumana said He was a servant of Rama and had come to take the medicinal herbs to revive Rama, Lakshmana and the vanaras.

The sage said Do not harm the mountain and keep it where it was. I will show you the place where the medicinal plants grow.

Hanumana thanked the sage, kept the mountain and collected the herbs. He then jumped in the sky and in a moment he was in Lanka.

The smell of the herbs was enough. Hanumana took the medicines along with him, whereever he went, around the battle field. All fallen vanaras, Rama and Laksmana sat upright.

All bowed down before Hanumana. Rama said to Hanumana that his name would be known all over, for ages to come. He asked Hanumana what he needed, Hanumana said he just wanted to embrace Rama. 

Hanumana goes in search of medicine

Using his tail as a propeller, Hanumana jumped into the sky. He increased his size and in a moment, he crossed the ocean. Great was the speed with which Hanumana was travelling.
Leaving Himalayas, Hanumana reached Kailasha, where he saw the white peaked Rishyamukha.
There he landed. He could get a lovely fragrance but he could not locate the medicinal trees. These were divine trees and not visible to everybody.

Not seeing the medicines, Hanumana thought that Jambuvana was not sure of what he had said. There were no medicinal trees.

He then thought -Jambuvana was the son of Brahma and he would not say just anything. There must be a reason.

Hanumana bowed down to the mountain and requested it to show him the medicinal plants.

The mountain was quiet. 

Jambuvana tells Hanumana about the medicine

Indrajit returning back, went straight where Ravana was.. He gave the news of his victory to Ravana.
He gave a detailed description of how he had managed to fell all the great vanaras, Rama and Lakshmana.

Ravana hugged his son and blessed him.

In the field, only two people were breathing - Vibhishana and Hanumana. They went around to see who all were alive. It was a terrible sight. Sugriva and the great vanaras and the army of millions of vanaras had all fallen.

Seeing Rama and Lakshmana fallen, Hanumana and Vibhishana could not control their tears.

Only person was breathing slightly, and that was Jambuvana. Vibhishana begged Jambuvana to help.
Jambuvana was not able to see anything. He said I have many arrows stuck on my body and I am unable to open my eyes. It is hearing a voice, I think it is Vibhishana. If that is so, then please fetch Hanumana.

Vibhishana told Jambuvana that Sugriva, Rama and Lakshmana had all fallen, and way had to be thought of, to revive them.

Jambuvana said There is only person who can help now. That is Hanumana. If he is breathing, then do not worry. All will be saved.

Vibhishana said Hanumana is here, next to you.

Hanumana touched Jambuvana's feet.

Jambuvana said - You alone, Hanumana, can save all. Fly up into the sky. See where the Himalayas are. There you will see a mountain called Rishyamukha, south of Kailasha. It has peaks, white in color. On that peak you will find four medicinal trees. These are four different kinds of medicines. These trees shine in the night. They are called Vishalyakarani, Mritasanjivani, Sancharini and Suvarnakarini.

These medicines have to fetched before day break.

(Here Krittivasa says that this is not mentioned in the Ramayana of Valmiki).
