Anjaneya observed the
once beautiful city of Lanka turned into a mass inferno and the panic struck
demons of huge number were running for their lives. Anjaneya became
thoughtful; an angry act of a wise person could take away the life of Acharya
or anyone, an agitated person never knows what he speaks or acts, ultimately
fails to recognize the difference between good and bad. Anjaneya worried
about the life Sita who resides in the Ashoka Vatika, he imagined Sita must
have been burnt in the huge fire that consumed the whole Lanka, and he blamed
himself for the mass destruction caused in Lanka. He lamented over his
senseless act thereby blemished the very purpose of Rama. The
whole city of Lanka has been turned into ashes, there was no place left
untouched. Anjaneya turned hysterical and thought to jump in the fire and
kill himself, he felt worthless, he held himself responsible for the
thoughtless act thereby ruined the task of Rama. Anjaneya tormented
with various thoughts, If Sita dies, Rama and Lakshman will not survive, and
ultimately that will result in the annihilation of clan of Ikshvaku and
Vanaras. Soon, he listened to the conversations of the demons admiring
Sita’s undivided devotion to her husband and divine power to remain unharmed in
the wild blaze. Anjaneya instantly realized that the massive fire unhurt
him mainly due to his devotion and benevolence of Rama and Sita. The
demons were surprised to see Sita and the Ashoka Vatika was well protected, while
the whole Lanka was in a horrifying state. The above conversation of the
demons brought immense pleasure in Anjaneya, he made up his mind to personally
visit her in order to make sure of her status and leave. He met Sita in
Ashota Vatika safe and sound. Sita praised his valorous act and advised
him that she would appreciate Rama should reveal his prowess in the battle with
Ravana and win over him. Anjaneya affirmed the arrival of Rama with
several thousand mighty Vanaras to accomplish the task. Once again he paid
salutations to Sita and prepared to leave Ashoka Vatika. Anjaneya assumed
a huge form and dived to Mount Arishta crushed under the feet of him and he
took a giant leap across the ocean.
Anjaneya was dashing
through the clouds at the pace of his mind with boisterous roaring gave out the
appearance of Garuda in the sky. Anjaneya’s deafening roaring
reverberated in the sky as he was nearing Mount Mahendragiri. The Vanaras
assembled on the northern side could listen to the roaring of Anjaneya, they
were anxious to meet Anjaneya. Instantly Jambavan confirmed the victory
of Anjaneya in accomplishing the task of Rama. Anjaneya victoriously
landed on the Mount Mahendragiri, all the Vanaras gathered around Anjaneya with
their monkey acts due to their irrepressible joy. All the happy Vanaras
surrounded were presented him with various fruits and immersed in state of
bliss to see Anjaneya successful in his mission. Angada, Jamabavan and
several of Vanara honored Anjaneya and took their seat. Anjaneya started
to speak “I have witnessed Sita, daughter of Janaka in Ashoka Vatika. She
is unblemished, living in the thoughts of her dearest husband, having no
ornaments on her body with a single plait of beautiful hair. She was
extremely distressed due to grief, lack of sleep and food; she was clothed in a
mucky saffron material. She was surrounded by numerous demons of dreadful
appearances”. After listening to the nectar like speech of Anjaneya, the
Vanaras assembled were in a state of ecstasy expressed their unmanageable
happiness in various monkey acts. Angada immensely praised Anjaneya about
his valor and intelligence.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
