Hanuman hands over Ring
Great Thejhasvi(Saint of Immense Radiance and Aura) Maruti in order to reinforce confidence in Sita with humility said “ Amma(Mother) ! Hey Blessed Lady! I have been sent by the great intelligent Rama as his Emissary. Please see this Ring where his Holy name has been engraved. In order to make you believe Rama had given me this Ring to be handed over to you. Please leave your worry. May all happiess be showered on you. Very soon all the agonies will vanish from you without a trace” saying thus Hanuman handed over the Ring to Sita Devi.
Sita who saw the ring which Rama wears, felt as though she has met Rama and was ecstatic. Seeing it again and again her insatiable desire made her look at it again and she couldn’t remove her eyes from the Ring. 1st She was afraid if this Ravan who had come in disguise, then due to various reasons she realized that he was her Husband’s emissary and got confidence and was happy to see Anjhaneya.Then she felt elated as though she has seen Rama ( This Ring was placed in her finger by Rama at the time of marriage.That feeling and the Pleasures she ahd enjoyed with him in solitude went through her mind like a flash. During Love acts when each were upset and not in talking terms, in absence of any mediators , Rama will remove the ring and drop it as though accidently , then Sita will say ‘ oh the ring had slipped ‘and she will pick it up and give it to him.This is that Ring nay ! She thought ‘ This ring has brought us together after he have been away from each other for a Long time’She started imagining the Finger that wore the Ring, then the hand containing the finger, chnologically the Arms, Body as though they were before him she mentally hugged him” Her Eyes became Red and wide and blossomed like Moon relased bu Rahu ie post Lunar Eclipse.
Then she thought “ Instead of appreciating him as a person who brought Life into me,I was suspecting him to be Ravana “thus she felt ashamed. Having heard the story of Rama she was elated, and Anjhaneya who had brought this message, She hearfelt blessed him “ hey Great Vanara ! You came to thins Rakshasaas Capital alone ! what will I tell of your Power, Prowess, Strength and Intelligence? This sea of dangerous mariteime mammals and 100 Yojhanas ( 30 km or 22 Miles ) wide , you crossed non challantly as though Crow crosses a cess pool casually.You have no fear or scare of Ravana. Can I think of you as an ordinary Monkey? Great intelligent Rama has sent you as his chosen Emissary ; so you can speak to me without any inhibition. Rama who has the power, which no one can dare go near.Would he send a person to me unless he has verified the bonafide of the Emissary? Thus he has trusted him and sent to me.
Rama who is Dahramthama and keeper pf Promise due to my good fortune and God’s grace is safe oh My ! Is Lakshmana also safe? If Rama is safe then why isn’t he burning this Lanka which is surrounded by sea?
Don’t Rama Laskhmana have the power to destroy Devas and Asuras in few seconds? So i think time has not come yet for my Agony to be wiped out. Hope that great Human has not Lost weight or become Lean and weak due to sorrow. Is he without distress? Is he remaining stable without losing courage? Lost in grief trust he is not slipping on the job.is he doing all those efforts expected of a Man? Is he with friends adopting merciful, peaceful approach and to win over Enemies is he using all the ways of Negotiation, Differentiation, Punishment ? is he earning Friends who are pure in their Heart? Pople like this are they coming to him and joining him? Is he being felictated by them? Is he praying to the Diteis in order to reach me? Is he doing Proper manly excerise to match his, PARAKRAM (Achievement,Might, Puissance,Exploits,Valor,Heroism,Gallantry, Prowess,Ability ,Valour) Warrior, Valourous Honour fitness without compromise? Is he making himself worthy of his Family /Lineage Ditey Narayana’s grace all the while? Has he forgotten me because I am in a far away place where he cannot see me and it is Long time since we separated? Is there not little drop in his complete fondness for me? Would he redeem me from this plight quickly? He is worthy of enjoying the Royal comforts.Due to excessive grief, pained and anguished and trust is his health is not affecting? Is he getting messages of well being of Kaushalya, Sumithra and Bharatha?Due to separation from me is he not yearing and longing for me? Without spending time on other matters will he help me corss this barrier? Will Bharatha who has immense affinity for Rama send his Ministers and countless Army Warriors and Divisions of Army for my retrieval? Surrounded by Vanara Warriros with Teeth and Nails Will King Sugreeva come here fast? Lakshmana who is adept and Valorous and exponent in Archery and knower of Missiles technology will he bombard these Rakshasaas with rain of Arrows and missiles and destroy them? Rama whose face generally is Golden hued like the Lotus Flower with fragrance trust has not withered due to my absence like the Lotus in parched stream, is it still retaining it’s glow?
Rama left his counry keeping Dharama and observance as a reason, and also brought me by foot as I was enjoying all comforts in Ayodhya does not seem to have Repentence, Remorse, Fear, and Sorrow even least bit. That sort of person after being away from, has he lost courage? Kaushalya who has special affinity for Rama and Dasratha who did not want to live by being away from his Son and other relations does the hold the same place in his heart as Myself (Sita)? I will remain alive only such time I continue to hear those words which will convey that Rama will come and take me back. Like this she spoke sweetly words which had many meanings thought to hersselg “ Let me see what this Lord of Vanaras will reply to my various Querries?” and Sita kept quite.
Maruthi who is Great Valiant kept his hands folded and raised above his head and spoke like this “ Earlier an asura Anuhladha hid Sashi devi the wife of Indra, Indra did not know for long , but found it, like wise Rama did not know your place of captivity till date. Hey Lady having Eyes which avenges Red Lotus ! the reason for not taking you till now this is the reason.The very moment I tell him about you, he will come here with Vanra Army. You need not doubt how they will cross this 100 Yojhana wide sea. Rama with his bhanas bind this sea and will come with his Army and will uproot the Rakshsaas Race.Mrithyudevatha(Lord of Death) or Devas(Celestials) or Asuras (Demons) if they try to stop they will eb decimated is there any doubt on that score? Like the Male Elephant which is inflicted by Lion, Rama is in distrees with sorrow. This is Sathyam (Truth). I am Vowing on the places I live like Malaya, Vindhya, Meru, manthra, Dharthra Moutians and also the Food I consume such as Frutis, Roots, Vegetables. You will see the Face of Rama glowing like the Full Moon and dazzling with Ear Lobe mini ball like ornaments and the Rose Lips.
Rama has left Drinks, Meat. As per Vanaprastha (Stage of Life after children, grand children , you foresake all including welath, desore, Lust, Anger, vengence, malice, enmity etc and go and Live in Forest meditaing and Praying to God for salvation)he is having only Furits and Roots only in the evening.He is awlays rememebering and forgetting his health, does not even bother from the hitches caused by Mosquitoes, Flies,Worms and moving creatures,Due to the Love bestowed on you, he Is all the time thinking of you and is anguished and falters on thoughts.He doesn’t sleep at all. Even if he sleeps unknowingly due to the tiredness of his Body,”Seethay! He utters sweetly and gets upWhen he sees heart warming Fruits and Flowers ‘Hey Sithay ! he bsighs heavily often he replies you as though you were talking to him. He always imagines you are in front of him. Due to your separation he is in much distress all the while. He is making all out efforts without any let up . Don’t You know that he has undetterd Courage, one who never falters on his pledge,Kshatriya Warrior? ’said Anjhaneya.
Since She heard narration on Rama , her worries were removed.But hereing Rama’s plight due to their separation, she also got distressed and appeared like the Moon appears and disappears in the beginning of Summer due to partial clouds. (Slokas 47)
