"When Vishnu transformed into Mohini, the celestial enchantress, Shiva was so overwhelmed with desire that he abandoned his consort Parvati and ran after Mohini until he had shed his seed. From this seed was born the mighty monkey god Hanuman, who the gods decreed would vanquish demons and even death. As foretold Hanuman helped Rama rescue his wife Sita from the clutches of the Rakshasa king Ravana."
