itipratisamādiṣṭohanūmānmārutātmajaḥ | praviveśapurīṃlaṅkāṃpūjyamānoniśācaraiḥ

Having been commanded, Hanuman offered prayers to Vibheeshana and entered Lanka.

The monkey, having sought the permission of Vibheeshana, entered Lanka city. Duly entering the Asoka grove, he attracted the attention of Sita, who was weak with no bath, cheerless, seated at the root of the tree, like Rohini star. After reaching the grove, he greeted Sita with folded palms and stood motionless.

dṛṣṭavāsamāgataṃdevīhanūmantaṃmahābalam | tūṣṇīmāstatadādṛṣṭavāsmṛtvāsṛṣṭābhavattadā

Seeing the mighty Hanuman, who arrived quietly, she was quiet. Then she saw him and experienced joy on recognizing him

सौम्यंतस्यामुखंदृष्टवाहनुमान्प्लवगोत्तमः । रामस्यवचनंसर्वमाख्यातुमुपचक्रमे ।।6.116.6।।

saumyaṃtasyāmukhaṃdṛṣṭavāhanumānplavagottamaḥ | rāmasyavacanaṃsarvamākhyātumupacakrame

Gentle Hanuman, the foremost of the monkeys, seeing her started to communicate every word of Rama.

वैदेही कुशलीरामस्सहसुग्रीवलक्ष्मणः । वभीषणसहायश्चहरीणांसहितोबलैः ।।6.116.7।।

vaidehī kuśalīrāmassahasugrīvalakṣmaṇaḥ | vabhīṣaṇasahāyaścaharīṇāṃsahitobalaiḥ

Hanuman said" O Vaidehi! Sri Rama accompanied by Sugriva and Lakshmana, with the help of Vibheeshana, is doing well."

कुशलंचाहसिद्धार्थोहतशत्रुरिमत्रजित् । विभीषणसहायेनरामेणहरिभिस्सह ।।6.116.8।। निहतोरावणोदेविलक्ष्मणेन च वीर्यवान् ।

"Noble lady! Sri Rama killed Ravana and won the enemy. He accomplished the purpose with the help of Vibheeshana, the valiant Lakshmana and the monkeys also so to speak. He inquired of your wellbeing."

"O noble lady! I am communicating delightful news to you. O Sita, a respectable lady and knowledgeable one, the victory is attained in the combat by the great soul Rama, by virtue of your strength and devotion."

rāvaṇaścahataśśatrurlaṅkacaivavaśīkṛtā | mayāhyalabndidreṇadhṛtenatavanirjaye pratijñaiṣāvinistīrṇābaddhvāsetuṃmahodadhau |

'Ravana has been killed, Lanka is under our side vanquished completely. Without any sleep, with forbearance, building an extensive bridge on the great ocean, the vow has been redeemed', is Rama's message to you, said Hanuman.

सम्भ्रमश्च न कर्तव्योवर्तन्त्यारावणालये ।।6.116.12।। विभीषणविधेयंहिलङ्कैश्वर्यमिदंकृतम् ।

sambhramaśca na kartavyovartantyārāvaṇālaye vibhīṣaṇavidheyaṃhilaṅkaiśvaryamidaṃkṛtam |

"This Lanka is under Vibheeshana, Lord of Lanka. There is no need for perturbation thinking that you are in Ravana's abode."

तदाश्वसिहिविस्रब्धंस्वगृहेपरिवर्तसे ।।6.116.13।। अयंचाभ्येतिसम्हृष्टस्त्वद्धर्शनसमुत्सुकः ।

tadāśvasihivisrabdhaṃsvagṛheparivartase ayaṃcābhyetisamhṛṣṭastvaddharśanasamutsukaḥ |

"You be at ease, as you are living in your own abode", said Hanuman consoling Sita. 'Vibheeshana, who is very happy, is eager and favouring to see you."

एवमुक्तासमुत्पत्यसीताशशिनिभानना ।।6.116.14।। प्रहर्षेणावरुद्धासाव्याहर्तुं न शशाक ह ।

evamuktāsamutpatyasītāśaśinibhānanā praharṣeṇāvaruddhāsāvyāhartuṃ na śaśāka ha |

Hanuman having spoken in that way, Sita got up in excessive joy and could not speak naturally.

ततोऽब्रवीद्धरिवरःसीतामप्रतिजल्पतीम् ।।6.116.15।। किंत्वंचिन्तयसेदेविकिं च मांनाभिभाषसे ।

tato'bravīddharivaraḥsītāmapratijalpatīm kiṃtvaṃcintayasedevikiṃ ca māṃnābhibhāṣase |

Then seeing Sita not answering him, the monkey chief asked her" Why are you not replying. What are you thinking?"

एवमुक्ताहनुमतासीताधर्मपथेस्थिता ।।6.116.16।। अब्रवीत्परमप्रीताबाष्पगद्गदयागिरा ।

evamuktāhanumatāsītādharmapathesthitā abravītparamaprītābāṣpagadgadayāgirā |

When Hanuman spoke in that way virtuous Sita was overwhelmed with joy and spoke with a voice choked with tears.

प्रियमेतदुपश्रुत्यभर्तुर्विजयसंश्रयम् ।।6.116.17।। प्रहर्षवशमापन्नानिर्वाक्यास्मिक्षणान्तरम् ।

"No doubt that my husband is victorious is very delightful. Hearing this, I am overcome with delight and am unable to speak for a moment."

न हिपश्यामिसदृशंचिन्तयन्तीप्लवङ्गमा ।।6.116.18।। मप्रतियाब्यानकस्येहदातुंप्रत्यभिनन्दनम् ।

na hipaśyāmisadṛśaṃcintayantīplavaṅgamā mapratiyābyānakasyehadātuṃpratyabhinandanam |

"Hanuman! However, I think to give you a befitting gift for this happy news. I am not able to see any."

नहिपश्यामिततसौम्यपृथिव्यामपिवानर ।।6.116.19।। सदृशंयत्प्रियाख्यानेतवदत्त्वाभवेत्सुखम् ।

nahipaśyāmitatasaumyapṛthivyāmapivānara sadṛśaṃyatpriyākhyānetavadattvābhavetsukham |

"I am not able to see on this earth, a gift befitting the value of your message, which can be given to you to make you happy."

हिरण्यंवासुवर्णंवारत्नानिविविधानिच ।।6.116.20।। राज्यंवात्रिषुलोकेषुनैतदर्हतिभाषितम् ।

hiraṇyaṃvāsuvarṇaṃvāratnānivividhānica rājyaṃvātriṣulokeṣunaitadarhatibhāṣitam |

"Neither gold or silver or gems, not even kingdom or the three worlds are equal to what you have spoken now."

एवमुक्तस्तुवैदेह्याप्रत्युवाचप्लवङ्गमः ।।6.116.21।। प्रगृहीताञ्जलिर्हर्षासतीतायाःप्रमुखेस्थितः ।

evamuktastuvaidehyāpratyuvācaplavaṅgamaḥ pragṛhītāñjalirharṣāsatītāyāḥpramukhesthitaḥ |

Spoken in that way by Vaidehi, Hanuman stood with folded palms in front of Sita and replied in delight.

भर्तुःप्रियहितेयुक्तेभर्तुर्विजयकाङ्क्षिण: ।।6.116.22।। स्निग्धमेवंविधंवाक्यंत्वमेवार्हस्यनिन्दिते ।

"You alone can speak such affectionate words in this manner wishing victory and welfare of your dear husband. You are irreproachable."

तवैतद्वचनंसौम्येसारवत् स्निग्धमेव च ।।6.116.23।। रत्नौघाद्विविधाच्चापिदेवराज्याद्विशिष्यते ।

tavaitadvacanaṃsaumyesāravat snigdhameva ca ratnaughādvividhāccāpidevarājyādviśiṣyate |

"O gentle one! Your meaningful words full of affection are more valuable than clusters of gems or Indra, the Lord of gods."

अर्थतश्चमयाप्राप्तादेवरज्यादयोगुणाः ।।6.116.24।। हतशत्रुंविजयिनंरामंपश्यामिसुस्थितम् ।

arthataścamayāprāptādevarajyādayoguṇāḥ hataśatruṃvijayinaṃrāmaṃpaśyāmisusthitam |

"Now that the enemy is killed, Rama is happy, which means as if I have attained the rulership of gods."

तस्यतद्वचनंश्रुत्वामैथिलीजनकात्मजा ।।6.116.25।। ततःशुभतरंवाक्यमुवाचपवनात्मजम् ।

tasyatadvacanaṃśrutvāmaithilījanakātmajā tataḥśubhataraṃvākyamuvācapavanātmajam |

Hearing the words of Mythili, daughter of Janaka, Hanuman spoke these auspicious words.

अतिलक्षणसम्पन्नंमाधुर्यगुणभूषितम् ।।6.116.26।। बुद्ध्याह्यष्टाङ्गयायुक्तंत्वमेवार्हसिभाषितुम् ।

atilakṣaṇasampannaṃmādhuryaguṇabhūṣitam buddhyāhyaṣṭāṅgayāyuktaṃtvamevārhasibhāṣitum |

Continuing to pay tribute to Hanuman's words, Sita said" Your language and expression are always richly endowed with virtuous qualities, sweet and valuable, combined with eight excellences. (Eight excellences areKeenness to hear discourses, readiness to hear discourses, receptivity, retentive power, reasoning for a proposition, against a proposition, faculty of comprehension, realization of truth)."

"You are a praiseworthy son of wind god. In strength, righteousness, valour, vigour, prowess, skill, you are excellent. You are energetic, endowed with tolerance, forbearance, firmness, brilliance, and humility. You alone have many more qualities, no doubt."

"You are a praiseworthy son of wind god. In strength, righteousness, valour, vigour, prowess, skill, you are excellent. You are energetic, endowed with tolerance, forbearance, firmness, brilliance, and humility. You alone have many more qualities, no doubt."

अथोवाचपुनस्सीतामसम्भ्रान्तोविनीतवत् ।।6.116.29।। प्रगृहीताञ्चलिर्हर्षात्सीतायाःप्रमुखेस्थितः ।

athovācapunassītāmasambhrāntovinītavat pragṛhītāñcalirharṣātsītāyāḥpramukhesthitaḥ |

Now with folded palms offering prayers to Sita, Hanuman stood without perturbation, with all humility and again spoke to Sita.

"O Illustrious lady! I would like to kill the terrible forms of ogres who threatened you, in that way, I will be at and strike in many ways and destroy them", said Hanuman to Sita.

ityuktāsāhanumatākṛpaṇādīnavatsalā | hanūmantamuvācedaṃcintayitvāvimṛśya ca

Hanuman having spoken like that, Sita who was fond of the desperate, thus spoke to Hanuman thinking for a while.

Through the adverse working of my fate and my own former misdeeds all this has befallen me; one must indeed experience the fruit of one's own deeds.
