Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Anjaneya enthusiastically narrates the persona of Rama
“Rama has the brilliance of Lord Surya and pleasing like Lord Chandra as well,
He is equivalent to Lord Kubera, Lord of wealth and Supreme Godhead, He has
possessed the valor of Lord Vishnu, He is like Bruhaspathi speaks only truth
with his mellifluous voice, He has stunning charisma like Lord Manmatha, He has
absolute control over senses and anger, He is the savior of blameless and
destroyer of enemies. Ravana will have the appropriate share of his anger
for abducting you from the hermitage. I am the messenger of Rama;
he is equally tormented at the separation from you. The charming
Lakshman, son of Soumitri send salutations and enquired your welfare. The
monkey King Sugriva, who had the companionship with Rama enquired about your
welfare. You are surviving amongst the brutal demons with the your
fortune, I assure you in a few days Rama, Lakshman along with the Monkey
King Sugriva and crores of mighty Vanaras will be in Lanka. I am Anjaneya,
I have crossed the vast ocean of 100 Yojana to reach Lanka. ” After saying so,
Anjaneya requests Sita not to be suspicious about his identity.
After listening to Anjaneya, Sita shot an
intelligent question ‘How did you get to know Rama? How do you know
Lakshman? How the union between monkeys and humans did take place? What
are the characteristics of Rama and Lakshmana? Explain their physical features
and appearance so that I can be free from fear”. Anjaneya sincerely
explains the features of Rama “Rama has eyes that has resemblance to lotus, His
captivating charisma attracts all the living beings, His grace and cleverness
are inborn. He has the brilliance of Lord Surya, His endurance is
equivalent to Earth, and He has the intelligence of Sage Bruhaspathi and fame
of Lord Indra. He is the blameless, savior to good and destroyer of
enemies. He is the protector of Four Varnas such as Brahmana,
Kshakthriya, Vaishya and Shudras. He honors Brahmin and priestly
classes. He has profound knowledge in Veda and Vendanga ( Shiksha,
Chandass, Vyakarana, Niruktha, Jyothisha, Kalpa) He also had
attained great knowledge in Dhanurveda/archery. He has broad shoulders
and strong arms, He has conch shaped neck and shining skin, he has melodious
voice and each and every features of him are matchless.” Thus, Anjaneya
brilliantly narrates every physical features of Rama to Sita. Anjanea describes
the qualities of Lakshmana who has close resemblance to his elder brother Rama,
equally virtuous like Rama. Anjaneya explains the braveness of Rama and
Lakshmana as tigers while their search for Sita, they met with the monkey
King Sugriva at Rishyamukha. The encounter between Sugriva was turned out
fruitful by the thriving participation of Anjaneya as middle man;
Sugriva was equally grieving at the separation from his wife Ruma.
They both had an agreement, Rama promised to Sugriva to get back his Kingdom
from Vali, consequently Rama had a fierce battle with Vali and Vali was killed
in the battle, eventually the coronation of Sugriva as King of Kishkindha was
took place. As promised earlier Sugriva’s promise to locate Sita, several
mighty Vanaras were appointed in search of her in all
directions. Anjaneya continued “Rama is miserable
without you; he is finding no happiness at the enthralling beauty of forest,
mountains, rivers etc... Rama along with Lakshmana and the army of
Vanaras will be here any moment to protect you. Sugriva has sent
mighty Vanaras to ten directions in search of you. There is Angada, son
of Vali also joined in this mission. We have lost track at Mount
Vindhyachala and number of days has passed with utter grief and decided to
commit suicide. At that moment, Sampathi, son of Aruna and the elder
brother of Jatayu informed us about your existence after a meticulous
observation over the vast ocean. We all of us were nervous to cross the
mighty ocean; finally I took up the challenge and crossed 100 Yojanas to reach
here. I am the son of Lord Vayu and messanger of Rama and a member of
army of Vanaras of Monkey King Sugriva. Rama is well taken care by
Lakshmana, I am here for the welfare of Rama at the command of King
Sugriva”. Anjaneya described the happenings explicitly, Sita was
overjoyed and well contented at the speech of Anjaneya. Thus, Anjaneya
earnestly prayed to Sita about his willingness to carry out her further orders.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
