Rama remorses on seeing Choodamani
Hanuman said thus and when he gave the Choodamani (Auspicious Hair Bracelet worn in the rear head as an Ornament), Rama hugged it on to his Chest saw it with unsatiated affection, due to past reminiscence his eyes swelled blanking his Eyes unable to see Choodamani addressed Sugreeva “ Friend! Like the Cow due to its affinity for the calf gives increased yield of Milk similarly on seeing this Choodamani my Heart is melting. During my marriage time my father took it from King Janaka and gave it to me put it in Sita’s rear head Hair Braid and adorn it. Same was put by Sita’s mother. No sooner this Ornament was adorned by Sita, it was Dazzling more than ever before. This Rare Gem has come from Sea; it was worshipped by Pious. In earlier times Indra (King of Heaven) gave this rare Gem to King Janaka when he did a Yagnya as an appreciation. On seeing this I feel as though I have seen my father and the Great Soul Janaka. Isn’t this the Jewell that adorns Sita? On seeing I feel as though I have met Sita. Hanuman what did Sita say? Please repeat it often. Like the thirsty person when he gets cold water Likewise her Words are quenching my Longings. Lakshmana! This jewel I have seen on Sita’s head, now am I forced to see it without Sita. Can there be a more difficult time than this?
If Sita will be alive for 1 month means She has Long Life. Why because I can’t Live without seeing the beautiful Eyed Sita even for a minute. Hanuman, the place where You saw Sita, please take me there.
After having heard of Sita’s whereabouts I will not stay here even for a Kshanam (4 seconds).She is matchless in beauty; by nature she is timid; special Pathivratha; such a Lady how is she surviving amongst cruel Rakshasis. During summer as the Moon is covered by clouds, so also Sita is surrounded by Rakshasis her face will also not shine. What did Sita convey? Please tell that truthfully. Like a person who is having disease gets cured by Medicinal herbs ,like wise your words will help me retain my Life. Looking at Her Figure repeatedly gives Pleasure; on hearing her words often is like Elixir-nectar; what did Sita who is separated from me convey?” thus he asked feebly. (Slokas 15)
