At
different points of time during the war, both Rama and Lakshmana were hit by
powerful arrows and fell unconscious. To bring them back to life, Hanuman was
instructed to fetch the life saving herbs from Himalaya. Hanuman went to the
hill, lifted the whole hill and brought it, as he was not able to identify the
life saving herbs alone. Parts from the hill fell on five places in Sri Lanka,
namely, Rumasala in Galle, Dolu Kanda in Hiripitiya , Ritigala on the Habarana
Anuradhapura road, Thalladi in Mannar and Kachchativu in the north.
