"Your
humility too eludes any emulation and stands supreme You are like no one else in the fourteen worlds so for I know My joy can't be contained, nor words rise to that level supreme Take this pearl necklace that keeps the memory alive, you know." "What with that necklace can I do? It serves not any purpose Bless me instead; for, I 've none to give, nor it suits my corpus" Much against such pleas, she handed over to him her pearl necklace And asked him waiting there, till she returned from the palace. Horror greeted her return with a fruit basket after some time She found the necklace cracked and scattered near the dias And Anjaneya yet biting and throwing, saying, 'stale' every time, Almost all the pearls were bitten and abondoned like a man unwise. Enraged at his monkeying, Sita uttered in a whimpering voice "How blasphemous; What 've you done to that priceless rare jewel Given by my father for filial duty, Which I gave as mark of rejoice, Mine's a sin in giving to one, who acts alike to jewel or fuel.
