मन संतोष सुनत कपि बानी। भगति प्रताप तेज बल सानी।। आसिष दीन्हि रामप्रिय जाना। होहु तात बल सील निधाना।। अजर अमर गुननिधि सुत होहू। करहुँ बहुत रघुनायक छोहू।। करहुँ कृपा प्रभु अस सुनि काना। निर्भर प्रेम मगन हनुमाना।। बार बार नाएसि पद सीसा। बोला बचन जोरि कर कीसा।। अब कृतकृत्य भयउँ मैं माता। आसिष तव अमोघ बिख्याता।। सुनहु मातु मोहि अतिसय भूखा। लागि देखि सुंदर फल रूखा।। सुनु सुत करहिं बिपिन रखवारी। परम सुभट रजनीचर भारी।। तिन्ह कर भय माता मोहि नाहीं। जौं तुम्ह सुख मानहु मन माहीं।।

Sita felt gratified at heart even as She heard the monkey's words full of devotion and revealing Sri Rama's majesty, glory and strength. Recognizing him as the beloved of Sri Rama She gave him Her blessing: "May you become a repository of strength and virtue, dear child. May you ever remain immune from old age and death and prove to be a storehouse of good qualities, my son; and may the Lord of the Raghus shower His abundant grace on you." The moment the words "May the Lord be gracious to you" reached his ears Hanuman was utterly overwhelmed with emotion. Again and again the monkey bowed his head at Her feet and with joined palms addressed Her thus: "I have now accomplished all that I had to accomplish, my mother; for your blessing, everyone knows, is unfailing. Listen, mother: I am feeling frightfully hungry at the sight of these trees laden with delicious fruits." "I tell you, my son, this grove is guarded by most valiant and mighty demons." "Mother, I am not at all afraid of them, only if I have your hearty approval."

तब देखी मुद्रिका मनोहर। राम नाम अंकित अति सुंदर।। चकित चितव मुदरी पहिचानी। हरष बिषाद हृदयँ अकुलानी।। जीति को सकइ अजय रघुराई। माया तें असि रचि नहिं जाई।। सीता मन बिचार कर नाना। मधुर बचन बोलेउ हनुमाना।। रामचंद्र गुन बरनैं लागा। सुनतहिं सीता कर दुख भागा।। लागीं सुनैं श्रवन मन लाई। आदिहु तें सब कथा सुनाई।। श्रवनामृत जेहिं कथा सुहाई। कहि सो प्रगट होति किन भाई।। तब हनुमंत निकट चलि गयऊ। फिरि बैंठीं मन बिसमय भयऊ।। राम दूत मैं मातु जानकी। सत्य सपथ करुनानिधान की।। यह मुद्रिका मातु मैं आनी। दीन्हि राम तुम्ह कहँ सहिदानी।। नर बानरहि संग कहु कैसें। कहि कथा भइ संगति जैसें।।

Now She saw the charming ring with the name of Sri Rama most beautifully engraved on it. Recognizing the ring She looked at it with wonder and was agitated at heart with a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow. " Who can conquer the invincible Lord of the Raghus and such a (divine) ring cannot be prepared through Maya ( a conjuring trick)." As Sita thus indulged in fancies of various kinds, Hanuman spoke in honeyed accents and began to recount Sri Ramacandra's praises. The moment they reached Sita's ears Her grief took flight. She listened with all Her soul and ears while Hanuman narrated the whole story from the very beginning. "Wherefore does she who has told this tale, which is like nectar to my ears, not reveal herself?*" Thereupon Hanuman drew near Her, while Sita sat with her back turned towards him, full of amazement. "I am Sri Rama's messenger, mother Janaki: I solemnly swear by the all-merciful Lord Himself. This ring has been brought by me, O mother; Sri Rama gave it to me as a token for you." "Tell me what brought about this fellowship between a man and a monkey." Then Hanuman explained the circumstances in which a union was brought about between men and monkeys.

Perceiving him to be a devotee of Sri Hari She developed an intense affection for him. Her eyes filled with tears and a thrill ran through Her body. "To me who was being drowned in the ocean of desolation, dear Hanuman, you have come as a veritable bark. Now tell me, I adjure you, the welfare of all-blissful Sri Rama (the Slayer of Khara) and His younger brother (Laksmana). Wherefore has the tender-hearted and compassionate Lord of the Raghus become so hard-hearted? Does the Chief of the Raghus ever remember me-He who is by natural disposition a source of delight to His servants ? Will my eyes, dear Hanuman, be ever gladdened by the sight of His swarthy and delicate limbs?" Words failed Her and Her eyes swam with tears. "Ah, my lord ! You have entirely forgotten me." Seeing Sita sore distressed due to Her separation from Her lord, Hanuman addressed Her in soft and polite accents: "The Lord and His younger brother (Laksmana) are both doing well, mother, except for the fact that the all-merciful is sorrowful because of Your sorrow. Do not feel vexed at heart, mother; Sri Rama loves You twice as much as You love Him.

कहेउ राम बियोग तव सीता। मो कहुँ सकल भए बिपरीता।। नव तरु किसलय मनहुँ कृसानू। कालनिसा सम निसि ससि भानू।। कुबलय बिपिन कुंत बन सरिसा। बारिद तपत तेल जनु बरिसा।। जे हित रहे करत तेइ पीरा। उरग स्वास सम त्रिबिध समीरा।। कहेहू तें कछु दुख घटि होई। काहि कहौं यह जान न कोई।। तत्व प्रेम कर मम अरु तोरा। जानत प्रिया एकु मनु मोरा।। सो मनु सदा रहत तोहि पाहीं। जानु प्रीति रसु एतेनहि माहीं।। प्रभु संदेसु सुनत बैदेही। मगन प्रेम तन सुधि नहिं तेही।। कह कपि हृदयँ धीर धरु माता। सुमिरु राम सेवक सुखदाता।। उर आनहु रघुपति प्रभुताई। सुनि मम बचन तजहु कदराई।।

Sri Rama said: Ever since I have been separated from you, Sita, everything to me has become its very reverse. The fresh and tender leaves on the trees look like tongues of fire; nights appear as dreadful as the night of final dissolution and the moon scorches like the sun. Beds of lotuses are like so many spears planted on the ground, while rain-clouds pour boiling oil as it were. Those that were friendly before have now become tormenting; the cool, soft and fragrant breezes are now like the breath of a serpent. One's agony is assuaged to some extent even by speaking of it; but to whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, dear, is known to my soul alone; and my soul ever abides with you. Know this to be the essence of my love." Videha's Daughter was so absorbed in love the moment She heard the Lord's message, that She lost all consciousness of Her body. Said the monkey, "Mother, collect Yourself, and fix Your thoughts on Sri Rama, the delight of His servants. Reflect on the glory of the Lord of the Raghus and shake off all faint-heartedness upon my word."

Then, taking thought within himself, Hanuman (the monkey chief) dropped down the signet ring, as though the Asoka tree had thrown a spark (in response to Her prayer). She sprang up with joy and took it in Her hand.

जौं रघुबीर होति सुधि पाई। करते नहिं बिलंबु रघुराई।। रामबान रबि उएँ जानकी। तम बरूथ कहँ जातुधान की।। अबहिं मातु मैं जाउँ लवाई। प्रभु आयसु नहिं राम दोहाई।। कछुक दिवस जननी धरु धीरा। कपिन्ह सहित अइहहिं रघुबीरा।। निसिचर मारि तोहि लै जैहहिं। तिहुँ पुर नारदादि जसु गैहहिं।। हैं सुत कपि सब तुम्हहि समाना। जातुधान अति भट बलवाना।। मोरें हृदय परम संदेहा। सुनि कपि प्रगट कीन्ह निज देहा।। कनक भूधराकार सरीरा। समर भयंकर अतिबल बीरा।। सीता मन भरोस तब भयऊ। पुनि लघु रूप पवनसुत लयऊ।।

Had the Hero of Raghu's line any news about You, the Lord of the Raghus would not have tarried. The moment Sri Rama's arrows make their appearance like the sun, the demon host would be scattered like the shadows of night. Mother, I would take You to Him this very moment; but, I swear by Rama, I have no such orders from the Lord. Therefore, wait patiently for some days more, mother, till the Hero of Raghu's line arrives with the troops of monkeys. Slaughtering the demons, He will take You away; while Narada and the other sages will glorify Him in all the three spheres of creation." "But, my son, all the monkeys must be pygmies like you, whereas the demons are mighty and great warriors. I have grave misgivings in my heart on this score." On hearing this the monkey revealed His natural form, colossal as a mountain of gold, terrible in battle, possessing great might and full of valour. Sita now took comfort in Her heart and the son of the wind-god thereupon resumed his diminutive appearance.

Mother, compose Yourself now and hear the message of Sri Rama (the Lord of the Raghus)." Even as he uttered these words, the monkey's voice was choked with emotion and his eyes filled with tears.
