THE TIDINGS CONVEYED

"She bade me tell you that she would struggle and keep alive for a month, but then she would perish at the hands of Raavana, or she would seek her own release of death. She bade me convey her respects to the Vaanara King. Now let us think and make preparations at once for proceeding to Lanka to redeem the princess."

Saying this, he handed the sikhaa-mani, crest-jewel, of Seeta to the Prince.

Raama took the jewel from Hanumaan's hand and at the sight of it fainted, racked beyond bearing between extremes of joy and grief.

He pressed the jewel to his bosom and cried, "O Lakshmana!" Again he embraced Hanumaan and said, "Heroic son of Vaayu,
blessed are you who have seen Seeta. I too see her now before me. You have, indeed, brought her to me."
