Do you think
they would send the best
among them as a mere messenger? Dear lady, have done with sorrow, for you will soon see me
with the two mighty princes on my back. They will lay waste this city with the arrows.
They will destroy Raavana and all his race. You have as good as crossed the ocean of
sorrow and reached the other shore. "God bless you. In a few days you will see the
two princes standing, bow in hand, at the gates of Lanka, destroying the Raakshasa host.
You will see the Vaanara army leaping with joy over the ruined city.
"Once they hear the news from me, they will not delay a moment. I have only to tell
them and they will start at once. Do not lose heart." Saying this and bowing
profoundly, Hanumaan prepared to go.
"Tell Raama and Lakshmana that I am alive," cried Seeta. "See that no time
is lost. May God bless you."
And Hanumaan left. Let us meditate with reverence on the heroic son of Anjana, the wise
messenger who gave consolation to
Seeta and quenched her grief. |
