Anjaneya pacifies Goddess Sita that Rama & Lakshmana
are also equally tormented with the grief in her absence, assures her that the
time of grief are over, Rama will be soon in Lanka and the City of Lanka will
be into ashes and she will be majestically accompanied by Rama to Ayodhya
after killing the demon Ravana. Sita conveyed her salutations to
Rama, Lakshmana, Sugriva and the elderly Vanaras. She highly praised
Lakshmana’s reverence, devotion, dedication towards herself and Rama and always
treated them as parents. Sita pronounce her life period for
another one month and handed to Anjaneya a bright jewel used to embellish her
beautiful hair (Choodamani) as a mark of remembrance for Rama. Anjaneya
reverentially received the jewel and hanged it on his little finger, offered
salutations and circumambulated Sita, he mentally paid obeisance to Rama and
prepared to leave.
Sita enlightens Anjaneya about the
jewel/Choodamani that would definitely bring memories of her mother, herself
and King Dasaratha. Sita appreciates Anjaneya and states that she has the
confidence about him in performing the task successfully. Anajeya proudly
speaks about the valor of Rama that none of the deities Lord Indra, Lord
Varuna, Lord Yama, or Lord Surya has the capacity to defeat him in the
battle. Anjaneya comforts her that Rama with all the mighty Vanaras will
turn Lanka into ashes and the success will be with Rama. Seeing Anjaneya
all prepared to leave, Sita urges him to stay and relax for a day. She
revealed her incredulity about the capacity of Rama & Lakshman to cross the
vast ocean, but Anjaneya eradicated that suspicious thought instantly with his
abundance of devotion to Rama and Lakshman, he pacifies her that he will cross
the vast ocean carrying the two mighty warriors on his shoulder.
Anjaneya repeatedly heightened her spirits saying that Rama will be in
Lanka anytime with crores of powerful Vanaras at the command of Sugriva to
release her and assures her that some of the Vanaras are equivalent to his
strength and in fact some of them are more capable than him.
Anjaneya advices Sita that the stay with the terrible demons
will not be too long, requested her to remain calm until he meets Rama.
Sita suggests Anjaneya to describe the story of crow before Rama. She
describes the incident taken place while their expedition through the woodlands
seeing her empty forehead Rama embellished it with the saffron colored powder
from the rock. Sita in tears continued to explain the happiest
moments she had with Rama and pronounced her inability to survive more than a
month. Anjaneya reassured her with all those encouraging words and
set out to leave.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
