> On the bright ninth of Mārgaśīrṣa, Sampāti announced to the monkeys that she was dwelling in Rāvaṇa's abode in the tenth month. 27 / On the eleventh, Hanūmān leaped a hundred yojanas from Mount Mahendra; / on that very night he searched through Laṅkā. / At the end of that night, Hanūmān indeed had the darśana of Sītā. 29 / On the twelfth, Hanūmān stationed himself in the śiṃśapā tree; / on that night there was conversation with Jānakī to gain her trust. 30 / On the thirteenth, battle then took place with Akṣa and the others. / On the fourteenth, the monkey was bound by Indrajit with the Brahmā weapon; 31 / the burning of Laṅkā was done with his fire-lit tail. / On the full moon day occurred the monkey's return to Mount Mahendra. - Padmapurāṇa 5.36.32
