Angada and Anjaneya preceded before the assembly,
paid salutations to Sugriva, Rama & Lakshman. Anjaneya declared the
nectar like message ‘Sita was found’ in the Ashoka Vatika, she is in the
constant thought of Rama. Rama and Lakshmana felt extremely delightful
after listening to the nectar like words from the mouth of Anjaneya. Rama
remembered about Anjaneya with high esteem.
Angada, Anjaneya and Jambavan along with their
group of Vanaras arrived at Mount Prasravana, they paid salutations to Rama,
Lakshmana and Sugriva. Anjaneya graciously narrated about the pitiable
state of Sita after paying reverential obeisance to the direction where Sita
resides. He described the wretched state of Sita in mucky saffron clothes
with a single plait of hair as a mark of desolation amongst the dreadful
demons, absorbed in the constant thought of Rama, drained of fast and lack of
sleep, turning down the lustful approach of Ravana and a firm decision to leave
mortal coil in a month. Further, Anjaneya pacifies Rama that Sita was
appropriately informed about his purpose of visit and the companionship between
Rama & Sugriva and was given abundance of encouragement to surpass the
ongoing difficult situations. Thus, Anjaneya gracefully handed the
Choodamani which has the origin from the sea to Rama.
Rama affectionately took the Choodamani close to
his heart and began wept bitterly. Rama explains the situation where Sita
received the commendable Choodamani as a gift from her father in
order to embellish her beautiful hair at the time of wedding. It was
previously presented by Lord Indra as a appreciation for the propitious
performance of Yagna by King Janaka. This marvelous ornament brought the
memories of King Janaka of Vidheha and King Dasaratha of Ayodhya as well.
Rama reveals his inability to live without Sita, he profusely speaks about the
good nature of Sita and urged Anjaneya to speak about the present
state of her. Anjaneya benevolently speaks about the incident of a crow
happened at Chitrakoota while Rama and Sita was having pleasing times, her
immense faith in the valor of Rama to protect blameless from the enemies, her
comparison of Rama & Lakshman with the splendor of wind and fire, her
lamentation over the ill fate and desire to annihilate Ravana by Rama’s
powerful arrows. Anjaneya pacifies Rama that she was well assured with
the knowledge of arrival of Rama, Lakshman and Sugriva along with crores of
mighty Vanaras in Lanka shortly to reduce Lanka into ashes and eventually the
reunion of the divine couple. Anjaneya describes about his request to
Sita for a sign of remembrance for Rama and compassionate gesture from Sita
providing Choodamani. Thus, Anjaneya conveyed the message of Sita
effectively. Further, Anjaneya explains her anxiety expressed about how
to cross the vast ocean of 100 Yojana that too was well clarified by providing
perfect examples of the braveness of Vanaras in the army of Sugriva who had
circumambulated the Universe for several times, their illustrious prowess,
endowed with immense strength and sincerely committed to the command of
Sugriva. Anjaneyas informs Sita’s appeal to Rama to vanquish Ravana
and exhibit his prowess.
