Srimat Sitaramanjaneyam-5

Hanuman said "My words are true not once but


thrice, and you please note therefore gods
endorse my words. I swear by the mountains
Vindhya, the Malaya, and the very Meru, that
Rama who is now like an elephant being
afflicted by a lion, the moment he receives news
from me, will pounce on Ravana. "Please note
that a mighty army of monkeys stands for
Rama, to rid Lanka of the demons and make it a
burial ground. Even if all the gods come to the
rescue of Ravana, Rama will weed them out like
a lion dealing death unto the forest elephants.
Note that the word Hari stands for a lion and
also Vishnu who incarnation Rama was.
Rama will burn the totality of the demons like
fire, dropping his arrows like Hari, Oh Sita! You
yourself know the valour of your husband, for,
you had seen him killing lakhs of the demons
formerly, and I wonder, why you are talking in
that strain to me.
You did not know that Rama could kill that
mighty Vali with a single arrow, that Vali whom
the very Ravana once upon a time begged for

life. Looking at this valour of Rama, Sugriva


himself trembled.
Sita appeared calm for a moment but again
said, "But Hanuman! You see the sea of sorrow
in which I am and there is another sea between
me and my lord!
"Hence, Hanuman! I am being persecuted as
though not by one sea of sorrow but two. I look
to you as the pilot to enable me to cross the two
seas. Please tell my husband that somehow, I
exert to keep myself alive for two months and
not a day more ( as was given to me as a lease
by Ravana).
Sita consoled herself by herself also in the
words "I am sure that my Rama who did kill
more than ten thousand demons in my very
sight, and as such whom I hold in esteem as the
very Vishnu in valour will surely rush here and
weed out the entire demons including Ravana
as Garuda weeds out crowds of serpents in no
time".
