The demon prince now selects his Nakabat arrow, bends his bow and fires it at Hanuman.  The arrow changes in midair into hundreds of hissing snakes which entwine themselves about the monkey's limbs.  If he wishes to do so Hanuman can easily free himself; but instead, after putting up token resistance, that is, killing the majority of the demon's bodyguard and personal retainers, he pretends to be bound fast by the serpents, and submits to Intorachit.

Proudly the demon prince orders his surviving warriors to bring the captive Hanuman before Totsagan.
