Greatly refreshed by his underwater excursion, and secretly aided as he is by the lovely Supanna Matcha, Hanuman is able to complete the causeway within the prescribed time.  Sukreep hurries to inform Phra Ram that the work is done, and the king's joy soars to the sixteenth heaven.

The army of monkeys, with fur neatly combed and polished, with accoutrements correctly slung and gleam­ingly furbished, its banners hoisted and snapping in the breeze, is marched to the beginning of the causeway and drawn up in order.  Phra Ram mounts his victory chariot and reviews his troops.  Looking on their serried ranks with pride, he delivers his order of the day.  "Now the real battle against the demons begins.  Soldiers, do your duty !"

The monkeys then file out along the causeway and onto Longka island, cheering as Phra Rain rides slowly across to enemy territory.  The air resounds with martial music, and unseen angels release a gentle rain of flowers.

In this auspicious way, the siege of Longka begins.
