Chapter – 9– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara
Kanda– Hanuman arrives in Ashoka Vatika
Hanuman spoke in tears “Oh! Vibhishan, Oh!
Dear Friend, though I was born in the lowly clan of Vanaras, that compassionate
Lord Sri Ramachandra showered an abundance of grace on me, I could still feel
the kindness of that Lord. Oh! Vibhishan, it is certain that whoever forgets
the presence of that supreme Bhramam Lord Sri Ramachandra, and chase after the
sensual pleasures and material things would undergo extreme agony and
sufferings of worldly existence.” Hanuman shed tears of love for Rama and
described his endless virtues to Vibhishan, and expressed his desire to meet
Devi Sita. Hanuman said “Oh! Brother, I would like to meet Mother Devi Sita at
once.” Vibhishana explained elaborately about the whereabout of Devi Sita who
was lodged in the Ashoka Vatika, one of the pleasure gardens of Ravana. Soon
Hanuman assumed the minuscule form and darted to the Ashoka Vatika to meet Mother
Sita. As soon as he saw the emaciated form of Devi Sita, prostrated before her
from the fair distance. Devi Sita was shrunken in utter grief and pain of
separation from the Lord, attired in a saffron robe and prayer beads, she was tied
hair in a single braid, spend the whole night awake, uttering the name of Lord
Rama and remembering the countless virtues of Rama.
