Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama1992
[Hanuman comes face to face with Ravana in the King's Court]
Prahastha:
You there! What is your name, and who has sent you to Lanka?
[Hanuman levitates on his tail, which increases in length so that he is at eye level with Ravana]
Hanuman:
Oh Lord of Lanka! I am Hanuman! I come to you with respect as a messenger of Lord Sugriva, the vanara King and devoted friend of Rama, Prince of Ayodhya! You know it was a cowardly act to carry off Princess Sita, totally contrary to Dharma! This will surely end in your destruction, and in the destruction of your race! Restore Sita to the Prince, and seek his forgiveness!
Ravana:
[after a pause] Kill him.
Vibhishana:
Brother, according to the Law of Kings, you may mutilate, brand or whip a messenger. But kill him?
Ravana:
Why, what's wrong with killing a creature such as this?
Vibhishana:
If you slay him, what chance is there of our real enemies approaching us?
Ravana:
Oh alright! But set fire to his tail first, then let him go home!
