Chapter – 2– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Kishkindha Kanda– Rama introduces himself to Hanuman and enquires his whereabouts

 

Hanuman speaks “Oh! Prabho, are you the very cause of the Universe and its living and non-living things personified as humans? Are you the supreme Bhramam who is the destroyer of the ocean of mundane existence and reliever of the burden of the Earth?”.  Lord Rama began to speak pleasingly “Oh! Bipra, we are the sons of illustrious King Dhasharatha of Kingdom of Ayodhya, we have arrived in the woods to follow the command of our father. We are Rama and Lakshman, we have been accompanied by the beautiful princess of Mithila, Devi Sita who is the daughter of King of Vidheha was abducted by the demons. Oh! Brahmin, we are in search of my beloved consort Devi Vaidhehi. Oh! Bhramin, we have detailed all information about us, now describe everything about you.” Hanuman recognized it was none other than his beloved Lord, soon he prostrated before Rama and clasped his feet. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi Uma, the joy of Hanuman was beyond description, a sudden rush of thrill ran through his limbs, his voice stuck on the throat, he gazed at the lovely appearance of Rama and Lakshman without blinking eyes in a state of ecstasy, shortly regained his consciousness, realized that he has found his Lord and sang in praise of him.” Hanuman spoke fervently “Oh! Prabho, I was under the influence of your unconquerable Maya, so I have illusioned, questioned you like an ordinary living being, hence I have failed to recognize my beloved Lord.”
