The tumult of the monkey maneuver reaches as far as Longka and, hearing it, Totsagan orders one of his demon subjects to find out just what is happening.

The demon, Sukrasan by name, changes himself into a falcon and flies high over the sea to the mainland.  Coming to the battlefield, he finds himself a convenient rock face and observes what is going on closely.  In fact, so closely is he following the feats the monkeys are performing that he relaxes the concentration necessary to maintain his guise and tumbles to the bottom of the cliff.

Not much the worse for his fall, however, Sukrasan changes himself again, this time into a monkey, and as such mingles with the soldiers of Phra Ram's army.
