Canto 32 - Is it True?
Aura Hanuman’s made Seetha
Think in terms of sun at dawn
Peeping out of branching trees.
Stared then Seetha in wonder
Hanuman sighted in splendour.
Wondered in awe then Seetha
Who that wondrous vanar was.
As she was at loss to know
What to make of that visitor
Prayed she then Ram for guidance.
Stared as Hanuman at her long
In her awe then swooned Seetha.
Seetha at length pulled herself
Wondered whether she had a dream.
Looked then Seetha all over
Waking up though from her sleep.
Finding Hanuman staring her
Lost she consciousness at once.
Regained sense as she in time
Recalled she then that proverb
Portend simians ill in dreams.
Felt then Seetha to start with
Wink with none in lovelorn state
How she could have had a dream!
Since I tend to think of Ram
All the time with never a pause
What I heard that simian sing
Product could be of my mind.
Song as it’s that my heart sings
Seems my ears have probed inside.
But then it’s no illusion
Him I see in flesh and blood.
May god bless that what he said
Would come true to bring me cheer.
