Sundarakanda Sarga 53, "Ravana orders Hanuman's tail to be set on fire", Book 5 Canto 53

Wrapping up the tail of Hanuman in rags and soaking it in oil, and then lighting it up, the ogres, as urged by Ravana, take Hanuman round the city to the accompaniment of beats of drums. Hearing this news from the lips of the ogresses, Sita prays to the god of fire on oath to see that Hanuman remains unscathed. Climbing up the gate and shedding the fire by attenuating his body, and then resuming vast proportions and seizing the iron bar of the gate, Hanuman kills with it the ogres guarding the gate.
