Hanuman, who was an exuberant child, tried to catch hold of the sun confusing it for a fruit. A hungry Rahu complained about Hanuman to Indran, who struck him with his Vajra, rendering him unconscious. Angered and upset over the incident, Hanuman's father Vayu went into seclusion. In order to placate Vayu, Brahma and the other devas brought Hanuman back to life and blessed him with multiple boons.
