6. During the battle between Ram & Ravan, when Indrajit is killed,
Ravan calls him for help. That night, Hanuman is put on guard and
told not to let anyone into the room where Ram & Lakshman are.
So, he took the form of Vibhishan as Hanuman lets him enter &
then took the sleeping Ram-Lakshman to Patal lok. When the real
Vibhishan came, he realised everything & told him what he should
do now. So, Hanuman goes to Patal & found that life of this rakshas
was hidden in the five lamps which were placed in different
directions. He could be killed only by extinguishing all five lamps the
same time.
To accomplish this, what did Hanuman do ?
