Patalaravana knew from what he saw that any attempt to carry away Rama from the surface of the ground was impossible and so he returned to Patala. From there they made a tunnel up to the base of the seat of Hanuman and from there to where Rama lay. Then they carried Rama and Laksmana to Patala before anybody could find it out by making them smell a sammohanadivyausadha (divine medicine causing unconsciousness). They brought them to a temple of Mahakali with the intention of offering them in a sacrifice to the deity the next day morning. They made all preparations for the same. Hanuman used to inspect the camp often and yet when after midnight he looked at the place where Rama and Laksmana were sleeping he could not find them. He immediately woke up all and made a search and they then found the big hole of a tunnel near the place where Rama and Laksmana were sleeping. All the leaders including Sugriva and Vibhisana assembled there and then Vibhisana told them what had happened. He then took Sugriva, Hanuman, Jambavan and Angada and a big army to Patala and went straight to the Mahakali temple. There Patalaravana had already started the ceremonies for the sacrifice. Vibhisana then asked Hanuman to go and get the beetle-shaped diamond of Patalaravana from a secret place in his bed chamber. Hanuman took it and kept it in his mouth and attacked Patalaravana who came running to slay him. Patala-Ravana faced Hanuman in a very indifferent manner and a fight ensued. After sometime Hanuman lost patience and cracked the diamond within his mouth and the moment it cracked Patala-Ravana fell down dead. ( Yuddha Kanda, Kamba Ramayana).
