On advice from Sushain Vaidya (Herbologist) Lord Hanuman went to fetch the life saving herb from Dronagiri peak. Failing to identify the required herb, Lord Hanuman lifted the herb filled top of the green Dronagiri peak and flew back to Lanka. The Vaidya identified the herb and saved Laxman's life.
