In her lament for her man
Found I famished her to bone.
That he himself saw Seetha
Cheered the vanars there gathered.
Roared as vanars with one throat
Shocked were birds all in their flight.
Raised as vanars tails their long
Looked like ladders they to skies.
Pachyderm like as sat Hanuman
In their joy they hugged him all.
Bringing order then Angad
Addressed Hanuman thus in praise.
None can equal thee on earth
Flew who over sea this twice.
Swore as all of us to die
Had thee failed to find Seetha
It’s thy valour saved our lives.
It’s thy reverence to Sri Ram
Made thee as the chosen one
To discern Seetha there yonder.
News of Seetha in his wait
Sure to gladden Rama’s heart.
Clapped all vanars to one man
At what all Angad just then said.
Kept they silence of pin drop
So that Hanuman could go on.
So to let him unfold then
With their hearts in mouths they sat.
So to catch his every word
Sat next Angad to Hanuman.
With the vanars there thus sat
Seemed the place then royal court.
