HANUMANA INFORMS RAMA ABOUT SITA





As Hanumana crossed the ocean and reached nearer to where everyone was waiting for him, the monkeys and bears standing on the seashore started jumping with joy. They shouted, “He has come! Our saviour has surely brought us some good news.”
Hanumana and the older monkeys and bears set of Kishkindha to give the news to Rama and sugreeva. Soma hours later, Hanuamana, Angada, Jambavana and other reached the royal pare that had been guarded by Sugreeva’s uncle, Dadhimukha. After eating to thier heart’s content, they left for the royal palace of Kishkindha. When they reached the palace, Sugreeva, Rama and Laksmana look at Hanumana with great expectation.

Hanumana walked to Rama with folded hands, and said, “My Lord, I have found mother Sita. She is held capative in the palace garden of Ravana. Your blessing made me find her as she sat chanting your name under an ashoka tree. Her purity of heart and conduct is reflected on her face. She is a chaste lady for sure. Ravana will burn to ashes if he dares to touch her. I have given your ring. As I was leaving she slipped her chooramani into my hands in secret, so I could show it to you.” 
On seeing Sita’s chooramani, Lord Rama’s eyes were with filled with tears of gratitude. He turned to Hanumana and said, “You are blessed, O son of Wind God. Your news about sita has put new energy in me. How shall I ever reply your debt?”
Rama wandered off with the chooramani in his hand. He thought of what state Sita might be in. He imagined her sitting under a tree surrounded by demonesses. How pale and week would she be then? How she might be surviving the cold, heat and rain? He wished he had wings that could fly him and reach Sita to console her. Gradually, he came back to face the present situation at hand. How could he ever lead such a large army of monkeys and bears to cross the vast ocean and reach Lanka? He had to rush now to plan on to rescue his beloved Sita.
