Explanation

Surasa, a demoness sent by the gods, obstructed Hanuman during his flight to Lanka by demanding he enter her mouth. Hanuman met this challenge by growing in size, forcing Surasa to expand, then suddenly shrinking and entering. Trijataa, Lankini, and Surpanakha are other demonesses in different contexts.
