Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 41
In this Sarga, after taking leave from Seetā, Hanumān thinks that he should assess the strength of the enemy vis-à-vis their own before going back, if he is to follow the command of Sugreeva to the fullest, for, he reasons, that a capable person should always do more than what is expected of him. He then plans to force a fight between himself and the Rākshasas. He thinks of destroying the Aṡōka Vana and hence prompt Rāvaṇa to send his troops to attack him.
He then plans to force a fight between himself and the Rākshasas. He thinks of destroying the Aṡōka Vana and hence prompt Rāvaṇa to send his troops to attack him. Implementing the plan immediately, he destroys the Vana completely. Then he settles himself on the archway, eager to fight with as many Rākshasas as might turn up.

Facing those Rākshasas of terrible prowess,
I shall display my own prowess
that no one can stand against and
destroy that army sent by Rāvaṇa,
before I can head back to the
abode of the lord of Vānaras happily.

With its many kinds of birds screeching,

With the trellises bent out of shape,
the creepers looked like women in distress.
