The resplendent Hanuman immersed
in various thought after witnessing the blazing fire in the city of Lanka and
panic stricken demons in multitude. Soon
he was besieged with extreme anxiety and gloominess, thought “Why did I burn
the city of Lanka? The excellent and
virtuous men with wisdom will not undergo fury, which could kill even the
elderly that is a sinful deed indeed and it could bring disdain to
virtuous. An enraged person never knows
the usage of appropriate words or forbidden words, for an agitated person there
is no act is forbidden or no words are misappropriate. Whoever diffuses the flames of anger with
endurances is known as ideal person. I
have committed severe sin due to my foolishness and shamelessness; I have set
fire in the city of Lanka without the thought of Sita and flawed my master’s
task. If the entire city of Lanka burnt
into ashes, most probably venerable Sita must be burnt in that chaos, I have accidentally
caused damage to the purpose of my Lord.
All my efforts have gone waste; I should have saved Sita, while the city
of Lanka was into flames. It was a
simple task of mine was caused due to overpower of anger, eventually I have
destroyed the entire task. The whole
city of the Lanka has been burnt; therefore Sita must have lost in the mayhem. If the task has been spoilt by my tainted aptitude,
it is appropriate to give up my life.
Shall I jump into the colossal fire or hurl myself into the vast ocean
which is the dwelling place of deadly creatures? How can I face Sugriva, Lord
of Vanaras, Rama or Lakshmana, after ruining the entire task? Due to the uncontrollable
anger, I have revealed the apishness to the three worlds; although I was
capable enough to save Sita I could not do that. I feel utter shame upon my uncompassionate
and unstable act. If Sita dies, Rama and
Lakshmana will not be alive, eventually Sugriva and the entire clan of Vanaras
too will die. How virtuous Bharatha and
Shathrugna, affectionate brothers will survive at the death of Rama, Lakshmana
and Sita? When the righteous Ikshvaku
dynasty perishes, people of the kingdom will afflict with extreme anguish and
distress. I am an unfortunate Vanara deprived
of values of responsibilities, no control over the sense of anger, became the
cause for the destruction of world.” Suddenly
Hanuman witnessed auspicious omen and started thinking “ Sita, the auspicious
lady who has attractive limbs, is capable to protect herself with her effulgence,
a blaze cannot swallow a fire. Sita, who
has great splendor, chaste wife of virtuous Rama, is capable to protect herself
from the fire with her austerities. The
fire which has the natural tendency to burn was put me out of danger due to the
power of Rama and compassion of Sita.
How Sita who is venerable like a deity to three brothers and dear to
Rama will perish in that fire? The fire
which is imperishable and capable to spread in all directions effortlessly was not
burn my tail, so how can it burn the most venerable Sita? She is capable to burn down the fire with her
penance, austerities and chastity, therefore the Fire cannot burn her.” While
Hanuman was remembering the virtues of Sita, he could hear some auspicious
words of Charanas “ Alas ! Hanuman hurled the colossal fire into the palace of
Ravana which was indeed a difficult task.
The entire city of Lanka is packed with the panic struck demons with
their families and children running hither and thither with cries. It is a marvelous sight that the entire city
of Lanka with its beautiful mansions and market places are burnt except Sita.” Hanuman was highly pleased to hear the highly
auspicious words of Charans, further he decided to see the princess and
personally visit her to ensure her safety.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
