^404:+ In seeking for these leaves, Hanuman was exposed to considerable danger. Kalanemi, an uncle of Ravana, was promised the half of the kingdom if he would slay Hanuman. To effect this, he went to the Himalayas and, disguised as a devotee, invited Hanuman to eat with him. Hanuman refused; but on entering a tank near, a crocodile seized his foot. This reptile Hanuman dragged out of the tank and killed it, from whose body a lovely Apsaras arose, whom Daksha had cursed to live in that form until her release was accomplished by Hanuman. This nymph, in gratitude for his kindness, warned Hanuman of his danger. The monkey god went to Kalanemi, and telling him that he saw through his disguise, took him by the feet, and whirled him through the air to Lanka, where he fell before the throne in Ravana's palace.
