Hanuman stared in angry disbelief at Ravana. He was angry because he was captured and disbelieving because Ravana had achieved it without even moving from his throne. Spell bound he stared at Ravana seated on his golden throne, which was festooned with peerless pearls and studded with priceless gems. Robed in soft silks he dazzled with chains, armlets and bracelets. Like the earth surrounded by the four seas, Ravana sat surrounded by his four ministers, Durdhara, Prahastha, Mahaparsva and Nikumbha. Hanuman oblivious of the torment of his captors stared in utter fascination at the mesmeric magnificence of Ravana, whose radiance was hard to even behold, he said to himself "What a rare and wondrous sight. What beauty! What majesty and what might! He bears all the auspicious marks of a great king. If only his greatness was not devoid of righteousness he would have been the protector of not only heaven but also of Indra.His unpardonable deeds create fear in all beings including the gods and if angered he will inundate the very earth, rendering it into one vast ocean".
