Describing Moon’s Rise
Then Moon of Peaceful effulgence was illuminating in all directions , like the Ox which roams in the Cows herds,Moon was shining in the centre of the Sky and the great intelligent Maruthi saw the same. Moon as the person who gives Bliss to all the animals, He destroys sorrow which is a consequence of Sins. He helps all animals to multiply. Hanuman saw such a Moon traversing in the Sky Lane.
In the world Manthra Moutain, Sea during Pradosham(Dusk) , Red Lotus in Ponds, were special illuminence; like wise Moon’s effulgence was also seen specially. As it is roaming in the white Sky which has been illuminated by it’s pleasant rays , it was like the King Swan playing in a Silver cage.It was like the Lion in it’s den in the White Manthara giri Mountain. Like the Battle Warrior atop a Rogue Elephant, Moon was shining in the Sky. Like the OX which has sharp horns, Like the Himalays Peaks, The Majestic Elephants whose Tusks have been banded with golden bandings, Moon was illuminating with all his 16 Kalas(Artforms). The dirt of Dew were cleared thus with his effulgence Moon overshawdowed the glow of Palnets like Jupiter and Venus(Shukran) and was more dazzling; since it was more white the spots in the Moon became more evident, thus Moon’s matchless glory was fully seen. **( 3 things in World will never satiate and you keep on Looking at them ie Full Moon, Elephant and sea waves it is said in Puranas and is a true fact as well).He was like the Lion who was sitting outside his Cave on a Stone boulder., also like a Rogue Elephnat on the rampage in Battel field, akin to the Glory of a king who had been coronated Moon was in all pristine glory that night.
As Moon rose with illuminence the darkness dispelled; the meat eating Rakshasaas started venturing out.; beautiful Damseles shed their Anger and Pride.; the time also neared for Heavenly bliss. The music from string Instruments like Veena was heard which were melodious. Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) Ladies went to bed with their Husbands. Night nocturnal animals and Cruel Rakshasaas with surprising Cruel nature started playing. The people in the Rakshasaas were drunk and forgot the jobs they had to do. The Vehicles with Elephants, Horses and the thrones were seen.The Veerlakshmi (Goddess of Victory) was seen everywhere.
In the houses each one was teasing the other; some had laid their long Arms on the other; due to drunkness some were blabbering; some chided the others; some were boasting of their Valour by thumping their Chest; some put their Arms and Legs around their Herione/Wife; some in order to obtain their affection dressed in very many costumes. some took the Bow and strung them; Some Ladies applied pure Fragrant cosmetics; some after deep sleep woke up enjoyed with their husband and again went to sleep; Some beauties after enjoying with thie husband were happily smiling and playing.; some Ladies got angry with their husband and were breathing heavily. Huge Elephants who were like clouds were trumphetting, Those who were of good Conduct and were praised by others, not finding their enemies the warriors were breathing heavily, thus Lankapuri was like Snakes hissing in the Mound.
“ Emancipated Intellectuals ,those who converse pleasantly, those theists who have faith in God, those who have attained special Fame,those having different Forms and culture, maruthi went on seeing many a Rakshsasaas who had beautiful names. Those who had forms suitable with their names, some Ladies with their sheer Beauty were illuminating their proximity, some cruel looking without any beauty Hanuman saw. Those who have attained Youth and were ready for marriage, those with pure nature without any deceit, Great Pathivrathas( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power), those who were desirous of their Husband and Drinks,and also saw Famed Rakshasaa Ladies who were Star cluster. Those who were with Aura of their physique, those who were overcome by shyness, those who were ecstatic, like the Female Bird covered by the Flowers , he saw ladies who were sleeping hugging their husband. Some other Ladies having Dharmic intellect were wrothy of their Husbands affection, out of their Love for them in the balconies were sitting in their Consort’s Lap he saw them.Soem ladies whose upper garments had slipped and were in deep slumber and were like Golden creeper.Some were like the Pure melted Gold , some who were separated from their Husband were seen like the white Moon . Some went in search of their beloved hero and were enjoying with them happily.Faces which were like Full Moon, the eyes which were adorned by Eye lashes, he saw Ornaments which were like the Lightining bolt. But matchless beauty and having been born as Daughter of King Janaka and never slipped from Path of Dharma , grown properly,one who was like a creeper with beautiful Flowers , with beauty worthy of Lord of the World Sita only was not seen. One who had observed the Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) Dharma which is preleavnt for time immemorial.Having decided that she will not live without Rama , having unchanging affection for him, one who is residing in Rama’s heart, a Crowning Jewell of the Virtuous Ladies that Janaki(Sita) was not seen.Having been fried by the Fire of Lust and continuously pouring tears choking the heart, earlier when She was with Rama comfortably, wore expesive Necklaces, having beautiful Eye Lashes, with sweet tone that of a Cuckoo bird, the Peacock seeing the Cloud dancing such a Sita was not to be seen. She had become lean like the faded Moon, like the golden statue which was become dirty covered by dust, Like the wound caused by the Arrow is outwardly healed but troubling like wise the Fire of Sorrow was burning her heart , with clouds scattered by the Gutsy wind , with all her thoughts gone in vain such a Sita was not seen. Despite searching for a long time,unable to find Lord of the world and an excellent orator great Rama’s Dharmic wife , Hanuman was worried like the person whose intellect was swayed. (Slokas 27)
