some voices in the sky. The Chaaranas and Yakshas were rejoicing and saying, "What a
miracle! Glory be to Hanumaan's prowess! Except the spot where Seeta is, all Lanka is in
flames!" Hearing this ethereal conversation, Hanumaan was relieved. "Seeta has saved herself. She saved me, for it was her purity and power that kept the fire from harming me. How can fire help paying homage to the goddess of Chastity? What can fire do to fire? This fire that I started could not go near Seeta. And is not all this Raama's purpose? Did not the ocean king and Mynaaka mountain come to my help?" Thinking thus, Hanumaan went straight to the Asoka park again. There, under the Simsupa tree, he saw Seeta who was greatly relieved to see him alive and cheerful. Rejoicing, he bowed before her and said, "Oh mother! I have seen you safe and sound. This is your power and my good for tune. Now give me leave to go." |
