Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Anjaneya graciously
handed a ring to Sita which has the name of Rama imprinted on it.
Anjaneya pacifies her that it was the order of Rama to cheer her from the grief
and also a means to prove his identity as the messenger of Rama their by gain
her confidence. Seeing the ring of Rama, her beautiful eyes were
widened with extreme delight and it has the close resemblance of Lord
Chandra. As usual Sita timidly embraced the ring with lots of love and
praised Anjaneya’s braveness and intelligence, she wholeheartedly appreciated
him as an unconquerable Vanara. She admired Anjaneya’s valor to cross the
100 Yojana of the vast ocean and anxiously shot with several questions about
Rama’s state of mental health as well as physical health, his activities and
his associates etc... She sincerely enquired Anjaneya about Rama’s strategies
to relieve her from the imprisonment. She raised loving enquiries
about Kousalya, Sumitra and Bharatha. Anjaneya with folded hands
above his head and reverentially started to speak “Rama is unaware of your
whereabouts. Rama will be here with multitudes of mighty Vanaras to
release you from the clutches of Ravana. City of Lanka will perish very
soon. Rama is besieged at the separation from you, he is not consuming
meal or drinks, and he is completely wrapped up in your thought. He is
not realizing the pricking of wild flies, insects or reptiles. He
has lost all the happiness, not realizing his existence at all, he has nothing
to think about other than you and he is completely absorbed in utter grief of
separation from you. He has no sleep thinking of you and whenever he
happens to see the most beautiful things, he cries for you calling out your
names. The noble prince of Ayodhya lamenting over the miserable incident
happened at Dandakarnya, he speaks and thinks only about you only. ” Sita
turned out miserable after listening to the uncontrollable grief of Rama.
A part of her brought solace to hear that Rama was fully immersed with
her thought, at the same time the anguish of Rama made her depressed.
Sita sorrowfully informs that Ravana had given two months period to
live and it was already 10 months were over in the prison and Vibheeshana,
younger brother of Ravana was the only one had sympathy towards her, it was
Nala and the eldest daughter of Vibheeshana often approaches Sita with some
kind of soothing words. She profusely speaks about the valor and virtues
of Rama. Anjaneya pacifies her that Rama and Lakshman will be in Lanka in
any time with the mighty Vanaras, seeing her pitiable state due to the
separation from her husband Anjaneya offers to have a seat on his shoulder so
that he can safely carry her to Prasravana Mount, where Rama resides. He
heroically speaks about his mightiness to carry Ravana with his Kingdom of
Lanka on his shoulder. Anjaneya encourages Sita to get her on his
shoulder and promises to drop her safely at the place where Rama lives.
Sita was extremely happy to listen to Anjaneya’s matchless dedication towards
Rama, but his talks were considered as mere apishness.
Sit thought that for a small sized ape how it would be possible to
cross the vast ocean carrying her on his shoulder? Anjaneya felt it was a
great insult to him, in order to prove his vigor he assumed a huge form like
the size of Mandara Mountain surrounded by the blazing fire before Sita.
Sita surprisingly looked at the ferocious form of Anjaneya with long sharp
nails and blazing eyes. Sita affirms the mightiness of Anjaneya and
appreciate his courage to cross the vast ocean once again. She generously
reveals her inability to travel with Anjaneya according to his pace; she
expressed her fear of falling from the heights into deep sea and eventually the
attack from the wild animals, If Ravana’s army of mighty demons came to know
about this, they would definitely cause impediments to their journey, so it
would be difficult for Anjaneya to protect her and fight against the demons
simultaneously. Whatever may be the consequences it would do no good to
Rama and Anjaneyas efforts will be futile. Sita tries to convince
Anjaneya that all are keenly looking forward the moment of triumph. If anything
happens to Sita that would be the end of Rama & Lakshmana, Sugriva and the
entire clan of Ikshvaku and Vanaras. Sita gracefully make him
understand that she never had touched any men other than Rama, further she
advised him that it would be improper for a chaste woman like her. Sita
advised him that only Rama could release her from Lanka after killing Ravana
and that would be the prestigious moment for all, none of the celestials,
Gandharvas, demons or serpents are capable to fight against Rama. Sita
suggested Anjaneya to bring Rama and Lakshmana with all those mighty Vanaras to
battle against Ravana.
