Anjaneya remembered the words of Sampathi, he
once again paid salutations to Vasu, Rudra, Aditya, Ashwini Kumaras, Lord
Indra, Lord Yama, Lord Vayu Lord Chandra, Lord Surya, Maruth Ganas and Sugriva
along with Sri Rama and Lakshmana. Anjaneya elegantly moved towards
Ashoka Vatika. He paid obeisance to all the deities, Lord Brahma, Lord Agni,
Lord Varuna and sincerely prayed for the success in his mission to locate
Sita. Anjaneya found a fabulous garden full of trees of Sal, Ashoka,
Champaka, Uddhalaka, Mango, Sandal, Santhana, Karnolara, Kimshuka, Punnaga,
Sapthaparna, Vakula, creepers of Water Lillies, and flowers of various
fragrances. He witnessed various species of birds gracefully moving
through the garden, the whole ambiance of Ashoka Vatika was effervescent and
vibrant. Anjaneya moved thorough the beautiful woodland, the trees were
showered flowers upon him as a sign of welcome, Anjaneya appeared like a
mountain of flowers in the middle of Ashoka Vatika with all those beautiful
flowers of vibrant colors. Anjaneya meticulously observed the Ashoka
Vatika and its beautiful garden made of precious stones and gems. Ashoka
Vatika shone with all those sparkling metals and gems. The beautiful
ponds embellished with pearls, diamonds, corals, crystals, gold, etc..
Surrounded by enchanting birds of Chakravaha, Swans, peacock, Cuckoos etc…there
were full of flowers of various fragrances and beautiful trees bearing fruits
stretched all over the place. At once, Anjaneya noticed a Shimshupa tree
and its golden platform, he climbed effortlessly on the huge tree with his
well-built figure with the firm belief that Sita Devi would appear before his
eyes. Anjaneya reverentially remembered a chaste woman like Sita would
prefer to remain close to Gardens and ponds where she could perform oblations
at the time sunset.
Anjaneya was spellbound at the beauty of Ashoka
Vatika which has the close resemblance of Chaithraratha, Garden of Lord Kubera
and Nandana, Garden of celestial Gandarvas. Anjaneya observed the entire
Ashoka Vatika seated on the Shimshupa tree, instantaneously spotted an
unblemished woman in her mucky saffron clothes, surrounded by the demons.
She looks awful to Anjaneya due to anguish, continuous starving and lack of
sleep. She was miserable; her appearance was like a waning moon.
Anjaneya identified her as Sita from her captivating divine physical features,
she was in a wretched state due to the separation from her dearest husband, and
she was vulnerable shedding tears of utter desolation. Anjaneya noticed the
ornaments of Sita mentioned by Rama stretched all over the golden
platform. Anjaneya affirmed that she must be the chaste woman Sita and
dearest wife of Rama, whose appearances were same as described by Rama.
Anjaneya’s joy had no bounds, he mentally praised Rama.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
