In the previous chapter, we saw
Hanuman’s conversation with Sita. , Now we'll see
Hanuman presented the signet.
Hanuman said to Sita “Devi I
have another important proof that I am coming from Rama”. So saying he
presented the signet given to him by Rama before he left Kishkindha. Sita took
it in her hands and looked at it and felt as if she was actually seeing her
husband. She praised Hanuman and said “You are a brave person and very
brilliant. You singly have brought shame to the Rakshasas. You are so powerful
that you have jumped across the sea. You being the emissary sent by Rama I can
talk to you. I hope that Rama is not submerged in his sorrow and that he is
thinking of future action. I hope that Bharata for my sake would send an army
of “Akshauhani”. An Akshauhani would consist of 21870 chariots, 21870
elephants, 65610 horses (note this is three times 21870), and 109350 (this is
five times 21870) soldiers. I think king Sugreeva also would send his army to
help. I hope that soon I will see Rama vanquishing Ravana and his rakshasas in
the war”. Hanuman said “Devi Rama is so sad all the time. He eats just boiled
vegetables and roots.
He does not touch honey and fleshy fruits. He is so
absorbed in his thoughts about you that he does not mind the insects,
mosquitoes, and even snakes. Rama does not know where you are or else he would
have come and liberated you already. Now I will inform him and he will soon
come here and destroy the rakshasas. Rama hardly sleeps and even if he does so
he wakes up calling ‘Sita’. He is ever trying to find you”.
In the next chapter, We'll see Hanuman shows his mighty form (Vishwaroopa).
