Maruthi gives wise Counsel to Ravana
Then Hanuman of immense Valour did not bother for Ravana who had the fame of all those who see him tremble , did not consider he being alone and thousands of Rakahsasaas being present as a matter at all , knowing the words he is going to speak to Ravana is going to instigate Anger in Ravana ,fearlessly spoke words which were Loaded with special ,specific meanings. “ Lankesh(Lord of Lanka) ! My King Sugreeva who rules Kishkinda has sent me. As a brother he has friendship for you and conveyed his greetings and enquires your well being. The Great Soul and your brother King Sugreeva wants these matters to be Conveyed, are good for Life in this world now and Life after Death.; they are in Line with Dharma, Artha, Purusharthas;So please Listen carefully. There was a famous King Dasaratha. He had 4 Divisions of Army; in Aura he was like Indra; in protecting his pople he was like a Father;. His eldest Son Rama is of immense radiance; great Strong man; he who gives Bliss to all; he has the capability to bless and punish as well. Following his elders tradition and obeying his Fathers command he Left the Kingdom, with his youger brother Lakshmana and with his wife Sita entered Dhandakaaranya. There the great Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) was found missing.She is the Great Soul Videha King’s daughter.
Then both of them went in search of Her and reached Rishyamukha Mountain and made friendship with King Sugreeva.Who pledged to search and find out Sita’s location. Rama also promised to make Sugreeva as the King of Vanaras. Accordingly Rama killed Valli and made Sugreeva King of Vanaras.You know Valli really well even before this.**( Once Valli when troubled by Ravana , He put Ravana in his Armpit and went around the world suffocating him, Hanuman was tactfully conveying Rama’s Prowess).That great Valli was killed by Rama with a single Arrow. Then the Sathyavaan( Beholder of Truth) Sugreeva decided to search Sita and sent Vanara Army in all directions. They in countless hordes are searching in Sky, Earth, Paathal(Beneath the Earth). Some of them are Like Garuda(King of Birds); some are like Vayu(God of Air);hence they go anywhere without hindrance. My name is Hanuman; I am born to Kesari. To find out Sita I leaped across this 100 Yojhana wide (30 km or 22 Miles) Sea and came here. While searching for Sita all over the city, I found Sita in your residence.
You are a great intelligent person; You know all Sashtras and the innder meaning of Purusharthas ; by severe penace you have attained rarest Boons. Hence to abduct others wives in not justified. Great intelectuals like you cannot go contrary to Dharma , be the cause for Dangers,and will they not desist from undertaking activities which will ensure destruction from the roots? If Rama gets angry and instigates Lakshmana and if he shoots Bhana (Arrows with feather), can any one in Devas Asura stand in front of it? Is there any one who had done Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour, delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony) to Rama and lived comfortably in any of the 3 Worlds? Hence please accept this wise counsell which will confer all the Blessings in all 3 times (Past, Presnt, Furture) and go and return Sita to Rama as this is in conformity to Dharma and worldly affairs. With great difficulty I have found Sita. For proceeding further in this matter I will be taking instructions from Rama. I saw Sita in deep anguish which can’t be described. By lifing her and brng her here does it not appear to you like holding a 5 hooded Snake in your Lap? ‘ if you say, if I spoil her chastity, what use would Sita be toRama’ can you eat a bowl full of Rice mixed with Poison and Digest it? Can even Celestials and Demons take her away and Survive? Is it justified for you to destroy this Indestructible Vajhra like Body, ,Long Life, Wealth which you attained after severe penace and observance of Noblest Dharma?
You may believe “ I have got a boon that my death will not happen from Devas, Asuras due to the power of my Penance” but hear the matter I am going to narrate now. Sugreeva is not a Deva, Asura, Rakshasaa, Dhanava or Pannaga ; so how will you escape Death from him?
You need not ponder “ So far I have done so many Sins, my experiencing punishments is mandatory, So what is the use of your Counsell?“. Can any one experience Dharma nd Adharma’s consequence at one time? Will Brightness and Darkness be together? Dharma will confer Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires). And Adharma will ensure Dhukkam(Grief, Pain, Anguish, sorrow, suffering,worry, unhappiness,heart rending situations).
‘As per Sruthi(Vedic Testament) that with Dharma (Righteous conduct,Just, Duty, Pious, humble,Charitable, respectful, humble ,Ethical,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation)one can erase Sin, Will not my past Dharma erase my Adharma.’ Do not think in these lines. It is not like that ‘All the Dharmas you performed were before you abducted Sita, Due to that you have been enjoying countless Luxuries.Now they do not have Energy. There is plenty in balance of the Adhramas You have done. That will give you endless Anguish. It will uproot your clan; so do not enter catastrophe in anticipation of benefits of Dharma. You will face very soon the Benefits/Consquences of Adharma.
This you need not ignore thinking it is word of a measly Monkey; there is no doubt in what I have said. So if you do special Dharma beforehand , you can escape. In Jhnasthaan 14,000 Warriors were killed, Valli who had imprisoned you was killed in 1 Bhana(Arrow with feather).Please think wisely also of the friendhsip treaty signed by Rama and Sugreeva and do what is in your interest. This Lanka , it’s Rakshasaas and your Army can be destroyed by me single handedly but Rama does not have such plan. Rama had made pledge that the person who has abducted Sita will be decimated with his entire clan.Even if he is Devaindra(King of Heaven), if he has done Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour, delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony) to Rama will he escape? When that be the case need it to be said for fellows like you? Your thinking that Sita is in your control, please understand she is Kalrathri(Fire of Deluge) who has come to turn Lanka into Ashes. Please do not hang in your neck Sita who is Kala Sarpum (Serpent or Laso ie Rope of death which ties it's Noose around Living beings at the time of their Death, when their Life span is over) . Please search for the Path which will save you. Aren’t you able to visualize the entire Lanka being burnt by the Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power)Dharma and Rama’s Fire of Rage? Please do not unnecessarily decimate your friends, Ministers who think of your welfare constantly,Relations, Brothers, Sons, and all the Luxuries, Comforts and this Lanka totally.
I am not an ordinary Vanara; Rama who is the Lord of Universe who has accepted me as his Servant,; he has believed me and entrusted his most confidential matters and sent me in this mission here.
Rama is the incarnation of Sathyam(Truth), Dharma, and all the most auspicious Noblest Virtues being his Daasa( Trusted Devoted Assistant) will that belie?.Rama has the where with all of creation and Destruction of this entire Universe comprising of 5 Elements and is full of Creatures; There is no Lord above him. As encrypted in Sruthis of the Great Famed one he is of Limitless Fame and Glory. There is none so far or going to be amongst Devas(Celestials), Dhanav(Demon), Gandharva (Musicians), Pisacha(Ghosts), Uraga (Fortune telling angels)and Pannaga(Serpents clan), Yaksha (Spirits), Manushya (Humans) their entrouges, Birds who are equal in Prowess to Rama (Equal to Maha Vishnu) at any time any place. Do you still have aspirations to survive having committed unbearable Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour, delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony) to Lord of all the worlds and King of Kings Rama? Are the Devas, Asuras, Ghandarvas, Vidhya dahras, NAGAS Yakshas and others if any who have the ablility to wage war with the Lord of 3 Worlds Rama? Why this only ! if Rama solemnises to kill someone if the opponent battles with him, can even Indra protect him? Even if Indra were to be the Lord of all 3 wordls,and had killed Asura like Vridhara and others and gets the help of 33 Crores 330 Millions Devas like him,is it of any use? Forget about him if you ask “ is it not possible for Rudra who is destroyer of the Universe Rudra?” he has that power only a the time of Deluge not in other times. If you ask ‘ One with his 3rd Eye burnt Manmadaha and Thripura asuras, is it a big thing?’ they are sinners who have committed crimes , hence Fire of the 3rd Eye will be of use but can that make a difference to Rama who is the embodiment of all Noble Virtues. Isn’t it possible for the 1st son of god Brahma ? is he not the father of Rudra? If you ask, please note he is also bound by the time scale of Karma. Unlike others he is Swayambhu( self created) if you say so what can he do without help? Is he not capapble of spelling out all vedas at a Time? If you say so, even that greatness also be not useful.Even if all of them unite, it will be of no use” said Hanuman.
Thus Hanuman with Boldness narrated the words which were supposed to be in his interest only infuriated Ravana as he was full of haugty Pride that there were none equal to him, with rage he was rolling his eyes and without giving a thought ordered” Kill this Monkey” (Slokas 46)
