Hanuman, addressed the Vaanaraas, gathered himself and flew up with a lot of vigour and great speed easily. The great monkey thought of himself as equal to Garuda, the king of birds.

After that, huge trees sank into an ocean of salt water, like mountains sinking into the ocean due to fear of Indira’s thunderbolt.
