Maruthi grieves thinking Sita is Dead
Thus he had set Fire the entire Lanka and doused the Fire on his Tail in the sea. Anjhaneya got worried seeing the Rakshasaas yelling and groaning and the entire Lanka looking like a Cremation ground.” Oh My ! by setting Fire to entire Lanka I have committed a great Crime.Why was my intellect so reckless?” thus scare caught hold of him and he hated himself. He thought “ Like the inferno Fire is quenched by Water, Aren’t the great Souls who douse with their intellect subdue/Control swelling Anger are the Great Strong People and Blessed? Person who gives room to Anger which Sin wouldn’t he do? He will kill even his own Guru(Teacher). With harsh words he will torment the Pious.He will not even think whether the words he is speaking appropriate or not. There will be no action he will not do; will talk anything he likes.Like the Snake peals of it’s Skin, isn’t he the real ‘Man’ who is able to control his Anger? I am Sinner of Sinnner; shamless fellow; have wicked thoughts; Forgetting Sita is there I torched Lanka. My intelligence should be scorched ,if Lanka burns will Sita escape? I have foolishly spoilt my Master’s task. While have I done so many tasks, by one activity I have spoilt everything ! instead of making arrangements to save Sita , I have set Fire to Lanka with my intelligence? All the pains undergone so far to search Sita have all gone waste. By giving room to my Anger, I have destroyed the core of our Purpose. I am not able to see even one palce which has not turned into Ashes in Lanka.So certainly, Sita would have died.Since I lost my mental balalnce and all the work done have goen waste, it is only proper that I should leave my Praanan(-Life force, Last Breathe,that without which causes Physical and medical Death).Shall I jump in the Firing inferno of Lanka? Or shall I enter the Fire? Shall I become a prey to the maritime mamals of Sea? Having spoilt all the work, with what face and courage can I see Sugreeva, Rama & Lakshmana? By giving room to Anger I have have done this great Sin thus will the entire world will accuse me and ridicule my Monkey’s instinct and Natural Behaviour. Though I had the Power to save Sita, I have done this horrible thing and forgot my task of guarding Her.
If Sita’s death is heard, Rama and Lakshamana will die. All those with him also will die.Hearing that the person who is so dear to Rama his brother Bharatha will die instantly. When that Soul of Dharma dies his shadow like brother Shatrugna , will he be alive?Thus if the Ikshwaku Dynasty is wiped out then all the People will wince with pain. So instaed of earning Fame and Dharma I gave room to Anger and succumbed to Anger, thus I am respeonsible for the destruction of the entire universe.can there be any Spoiler of Good Fortune like me? “ thsu Maruthi got worried.
Earlier when he was unable to Find Sita and when he was in disarray and had decided to end his Life, then some Good Omens appeared Now also Some good Omens have appeared. This surprised Maruthi “ that great Lady why wouldn’t be protected by her own Greatness & Glory. Can there be destruction for Sita who is the embodiment of all Good Things? Can Fire cause Fire to the Fire? While Sita is being protected by Rama’s His effulgence and Aura and on her own Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) Dharma, How can Agni(God of Fire) even near her? .By Rama’s Mercy and the Power of Sita’s Punya Karma(benefits of Good Noble Deeds)that Agni(Fire) did not burn me. The Ditey which is worshipped by Lakshmana , Bharatha, Shatrugna and Rama’s dearest wife can she be destroyed? When Agni’s job it to burn all materials , when he has not torched my Tail, how can he set Fire to Sita alone? “ thus thinking positively he remembered the Miracles that ook place since he left the Sea Shore on the other side and the Mynaka Mountain tried to help him etc. “ Sita does not falter on Sathyam(Truth). She is one who had controlled her
Indriyas – Senses.She is focused totally unto her Husband only. If Agni(God Fire) touches Her, he will get burnt himself , there won’t be any Danger to Sit due to Agni.” Thsu he reminded himself of Sita’s Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) Dharma. Then the Sarana’s who were hovering in the Skylane were “ What a surprise! What work has Hanuman done? He has set fire to every house in Lanka not leaving even one of them. Like the Animals yell, bellow, screech from the caves, the Rakshasaas , the Ladies, Old People, Children were crying, Wailing hoarsely .Lanka’s Palaces, Balconies, Mienrates have all been devasted and decimated by Fire. But Sita is untouched by all this. Isn’t this called a Miracle?” Maruthi overheard these conversation.
Thus with many Good Omens and important reasons and Saranas who conveyed the Sita’s well being/Safety,Hanuman became happy. Then he realised his mission has been ccomplished, however he wanted to meet Sita and then return.” Thus Hanuman decided. (Slokas 36)
