Sita replied “ Oh! Vanara, I am
happy to listen to your pleasant words, like a dry land sprouted with the crop
of grain after receiving bountiful downpour.
I am emaciated with extreme grief, yearning for the presence of tiger
among men Rama, kindly show mercy on me to fulfill my desires. Oh! Hariganoththama,/excellent among the
Vanaras, kindly narrate the myth of the divine grass Ishika was hurled upon the
crow by Rama in a rage and the loss of eye of the crow, as a mark of recognition
to him. Oh! Vanara, Kindly narrate the incident of Rama painted my cheek, when
the auspicious mark of vermillion on my forehead got worn away. Oh! Valiant Rama, equivalent to Lord Indra,
Lord of celestials and Lord Varuna, have you completely forgotten me, who was
abducted by Ravana and surviving in the middle of dreadful demons? Oh! Anagha,
faultless prince/Rama, I have been protecting this divine jewel/choodamani
carefully, I have been getting peace and delight out of it while I am in
extreme distress, it brings the pleasure
of nearness of you. This marvelous jewel
made in water will be sending to you, I shall not be able to survive its
absence. I am still surviving with the painful
difficulties and the cruel words of demons which are capable to pierce my heart,
with a hope that you will be here to protect me any time. Oh! Shathrusoodhana/Rama, I shall continue to
exist for another month, after that I cannot survive without you. The king of demon Ravana is sinful and he has
evil glance on me, if you cause further delays I will not survive.” Sita paused
with tears overflowing on her cheeks.
Hanuman began to speak “Oh! Devi, Rama has grown unenthusiastic towards
everything due to the extreme grief of separation from you, when Rama get
devastated, Lakshmana too gets tormented with grief. Oh! Bhamini, believe my words, I have located
you, this is not the time to lament over something, you will see the end of
your sorrows shortly. These excellent
princes, annihilator of enemies, are eager to witness you; they will reduce the
city of Lanka into ashes. Oh!
Vishalakshi, Rama will kill the wicked Ravana along with his relatives and take
you back to his Kingdom. Oh! Anindhithey/unblemished,
kindly provide me with another symbol for remembrance which is easily
recognizable and it could create pleasure in him.” Sita replied “I have already provided you
with an excellent symbol, my auspicious hair jewel/Choodamani which is easily
identifiable for him and he will definitely believe in your words.” The illustrious Hanuman, holding the
marvelous jewel on his hand, offered salutation by holding palms joined held
above the head to Sita and shortly he set off.
Sita witnessed the best among the Vanaras, Hanuman leaving
enthusiastically expanding his body, Sita felt miserable with tears
overflowing, spoke in a soft voice “ Oh!
Hanuman, enquire the welfare of Rama & Lakshmana, brothers like mighty
Sugriva and his ministers and associates.
Kindly encourage Rama who has possessed long arm to protect me from the
ocean of sorrows. Oh! Haripravira,
kindly keep him informed about my utter grief and threatening of these dreadful
demons, let your journey brings all the auspiciousness!” Hanuman after accomplishing his task to
pacify Sita, his mind was filled with joy at the thought of major part of his
task has been completed; he successfully proceeded to northern direction.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
