हनुमानपि विक्रान्तः सर्वं शुश्राव तत्त्वतः।
सीतायास्त्रिजटायाश्च राक्षसीनां च तर्जितम् ॥ ५.३०.१ ॥
The mighty Hanumān also heard truly all the threats and reproaches spoken by Sītā, by Triṭā, and by the rākṣasī women.
5.30.2
अवेक्षमाणस्तां देवीं देवतामिव नन्दने।
ततो बहुविधां चिन्तां चिन्तयामास वानरः ॥ ५.३०.२ ॥
Gazing at that noble lady Sītā, as one might gaze at a goddess in the Nandana grove, the monkey then pondered many kinds of thoughts.
5.30.3
यां कपीनां सहस्राणि सुबहून्ययुतानि च।
दिक्षु सर्वासु मार्गन्ते सेयमासादिता मया ॥ ५.३०.३ ॥
She whom thousands and many tens of thousands of monkeys are searching for in every direction, this very one has been found by me.
5.30.4
चारेण तु सुयुक्तेन शत्रोः शक्तिमवेक्षता।
गूढेन चरता तावदवेक्षितमिदं मया ॥ ५.३०.४ ॥
Moving about in secret as a well-appointed spy, observing the strength of the enemy, I have thus far observed all this.

राक्षसाधिपतेरस्य प्रभावो रावणस्य च ॥ ५.३०.५ ॥
I have surveyed the distinctive features of the rākṣasas and this city, and the splendour and power of Rāvaṇa, lord of the rākṣasas.
5.30.6
यथा तस्याप्रमेयस्य सर्वसत्त्वदयावतः।
समाश्वासयितुं भार्यां पतिदर्शनकांक्षिणीम् ॥ ५.३०.६ ॥
As it is fitting to console the wife of that immeasurable one, compassionate to all beings, who longs to behold her husband.
5.30.7
अहमाश्वासयाम्येनां पूर्णचन्द्रनिभाननाम्।
अदृष्टदुःखां दुःखस्य न ह्यन्तमधिगच्छतीम् ॥ ५.३०.७ ॥
I will comfort her, whose face is like the full moon, who has not seen the end of sorrow and does not reach the end of sorrow.
5.30.8
यदि ह्यहं सतीमेनां शोकोपहतचेतनाम्।
अनाश्वास्य गमिष्यामि दोषवद् गमनं भवेत् ॥ ५.३०.८ ॥
If I leave without comforting this faithful woman, whose mind is struck down by grief, my going would be faulty.
5.30.9
गते हि मयि तत्रेयं राजपुत्री यशस्विनी।
परित्राणमपश्यन्ती जानकी जीवितं त्यजेत् ॥ ५.३०.९ ॥
If I go away from there, this glorious princess Jānakī, seeing no protection, would give up her life.
5.30.10
यथा च स महाबाहुः पूर्णचन्द्रनिभाननः।
समाश्वासयितुं न्याय्यः सीतादर्शनलालसः ॥ ५.३०.१० ॥
And just as that mighty-armed one, whose face is like the full moon, longs to see Sītā, it is fitting to comfort him fully.

निशाचरीणां प्रत्यक्षमक्षमं चाभिभाषितम्।
कथं नु खलु कर्तव्यमिदं कृच्छ्रगतो ह्यहम् ॥ ५.३०.११ ॥
Because of the intolerable words spoken openly by the night-wandering demonesses, I am in distress; now how am I to act?
5.30.12
अनेन रात्रिशेषेण यदि नाश्वास्यते मया।
सर्वथा नास्ति संदेहः परित्यक्ष्यति जीवितम् ॥ ५.३०.१२ ॥
If in the remainder of this night she is not comforted by me, there is no doubt at all that she will give up her life.
5.30.13
रामस्तु यदि पृच्छेन्मां किं मां सीताब्रवीद्वचः।
किमहं तं प्रतिब्रूयामसम्भाष्य सुमध्यमाम् ॥ ५.३०.१३ ॥
If Rāma asks me what words Sītā spoke to me, what shall I answer him, having not spoken with that slender-waisted one?
5.30.14
सीतासंदेशरहितं मामितस्त्वरया गतम्।
निर्दहेदपि काकुत्स्थः क्रोधतीव्रेण चक्षुषा ॥ ५.३०.१४ ॥
Sent hence in haste, bereft of any message from Sītā, I might be burned even by Rāma the Kakutstha with his eyes sharp with anger.
5.30.15
यदि वोद्योजयिष्यामि भर्तारं रामकारणात्।
व्यर्थमागमनं तस्य ससैन्यस्य भविष्यति ॥ ५.३०.१५ ॥
Or if I incite my lord for Rāma's sake, his coming with his army will be in vain.
5.30.16
अन्तरं त्वहमासाद्य राक्षसीनामवस्थितः।
शनैराश्वासयाम्यद्य संतापबहुलामिमाम् ॥ ५.३०.१६ ॥
But finding an opportunity among the rākṣasī women, standing here, I shall now gently comfort her, who is full of grief.
5.30.17
अहं ह्यतितनुश्चैव वानरश्च विशेषतः।
वाचं चोदाहरिष्यामि मानुषीमिह संस्कृताम् ॥ ५.३०.१७ ॥
Indeed I am very slender of body, and especially I am a monkey; here I shall speak in refined human speech.
5.30.18
यदि वाचं प्रदास्यामि द्विजातिरिव संस्कृताम्।
रावणं मन्यमाना मां सीता भीता भविष्यति ॥ ५.३०.१८ ॥
If I speak refined Sanskrit like a twice-born Brahmin, Sītā, thinking me to be Rāvaṇa, will be frightened.
5.30.19
अवश्यमेव वक्तव्यं मानुषं वाक्यमर्थवत्।
मया सान्त्वयितुं शक्या नान्यथेयमनिन्दिता ॥ ५.३०.१९ ॥
To console this blameless woman, I must certainly speak meaningful words in human speech; she cannot be consoled in any other way.
5.30.20
सेयमालोक्य मे रूपं जानकी भाषितं तथा।
रक्षोभिस्त्रासिता पूर्वं भूयस्त्रासमुपैष्यति ॥ ५.३०.२० ॥
Seeing my form and hearing my speech, Jānakī, who was earlier terrified by the rākṣasas, will again fall into fear.
5.30.21
ततो जातपरित्रासा शब्दं कुर्यान्मनस्विनी।
जानाना मां विशालाक्षी रावणं कामरूपिणम् ॥ ५.३०.२१ ॥
Then Sītā, the high-minded wide-eyed woman, terrified, recognizing me and Rāvaṇa who takes any form at will, will cry out.
5.30.22
सीतया च कृते शब्दे सहसा राक्षसीगणः।
नानाप्रहरणो घोरः समेयादन्तकोपमः ॥ ५.३०.२२ ॥
At Sītā's cry, suddenly a host of rākṣasī women, bearing many kinds of weapons, fearsome and like Death, will gather there.

वधे च ग्रहणे चैव कुर्युर्यत्नं महाबलाः ॥ ५.३०.२३ ॥
Then those great-strong rākṣasī women, with distorted faces, will surround me on all sides and strive to kill and seize me.
5.30.24
तं मां शाखाः प्रशाखाश्च स्कन्धांश्चोत्तमशाखिनाम्।
दृष्ट्वा च परिधावन्तं भवेयुः परिशङ्किताः ॥ ५.३०.२४ ॥
Seeing me running about among the branches, twigs and trunks of the finest trees, they will become alarmed and suspicious.
5.30.25
मम रूपं च सम्प्रेक्ष्य वने विचरतो महत्।
राक्षस्यो भयवित्रस्ता भवेयुर्विकृतस्वराः ॥ ५.३०.२५ ॥
Seeing my great form wandering in the forest, the rākṣasa women, terrified with fear, would have distorted voices.
5.30.26
ततः कुर्युः समाह्वानं राक्षस्यो रक्षसामपि।
राक्षसेन्द्रनियुक्तानां राक्षसेन्द्रनिवेशने ॥ ५.३०.२६ ॥
Then the rākṣasa women and also the rākṣasas would summon, in the dwelling of the rākṣasa lord, those appointed by the rākṣasa lord.
5.30.27
ते शूलशरनिस्त्रिंशविविधायुधपाणयः।
आपतेयुर्विमर्देऽस्मिन् वेगेनोद्वेगकारणात् ॥ ५.३०.२७ ॥
Holding in their hands spears, arrows, swords and various weapons, they would rush forth in this clash, with speed, because of the cause of agitation.
5.30.28
संरुद्धस्तैस्तु परितो विधमे राक्षसं बलम्।
शक्नुयां न तु सम्प्राप्तुं परं पारं महोदधेः ॥ ५.३०.२८ ॥
Surrounded on all sides by them, even if I scattered the rākṣasa force, I would not be able to reach the far shore of the great ocean.
5.30.29
मां वा गृह्णीयुरावृत्य बहवः शीघ्रकारिणः।
स्यादियं चागृहीतार्था मम च ग्रहणं भवेत् ॥ ५.३०.२९ ॥
Or many swift-acting ones would surround and seize me; then this purpose would be left unaccomplished, and my capture would also occur.
5.30.30
हिंसाभिरुचयो हिंस्युरिमां वा जनकात्मजाम्।
विपन्नं स्यात् ततः कार्यं रामसुग्रीवयोरिदम् ॥ ५.३०.३० ॥
Those who delight in violence might harm this daughter of Janaka; then this task of Rāma and Sugrīva would be ruined.
5.30.31
उद्देशे नष्टमार्गेऽस्मिन् राक्षसैः परिवारिते।
सागरेण परिक्षिप्ते गुप्ते वसति जानकी ॥ ५.३०.३१ ॥
In this place where the path is lost, surrounded by rākṣasas and enclosed on all sides by the ocean, Jānakī dwells, guarded.
5.30.32
विशस्ते वा गृहीते वा रक्षोभिर्मयि संयुगे।
नान्यं पश्यामि रामस्य सहायं कार्यसाधने ॥ ५.३०.३२ ॥
If I am slain or seized by the rākṣasas in battle, I see no other helper of Rāma in accomplishing the task.
5.30.33
विमृशंश्च न पश्यामि यो हते मयि वानरः।
शतयोजनविस्तीर्णं लङ्घयेत महोदधिम् ॥ ५.३०.३३ ॥
Reflecting on it, I see no monkey who, if I were slain, could leap across the great ocean, a hundred yojanas wide.
5.30.34
कामं हन्तुं समर्थोऽस्मि सहस्राण्यपि रक्षसाम्।
न तु शक्ष्याम्यहं प्राप्तुं परं पारं महोदधेः ॥ ५.३०.३४ ॥

एष दोषो महान् हि स्यान्मम सीताभिभाषणे।
प्राणत्यागश्च वैदेह्या भवेदनभिभाषणे ॥ ५.३०.३६ ॥
To speak with Sītā would be a great fault for me, and not to speak would lead to Vaidehī giving up her life.
5.30.37
भूताश्चार्था विरुध्यन्त देशकालविरोधिताः।
विक्लवं दूतमासाद्य तमः सूर्योदये यथा ॥ ५.३०.३७ ॥
When accomplished aims are opposed by place and time, the messenger is thrown into confusion, as darkness at sunrise.
5.30.38
अर्थानर्थान्तरे बुद्धिर्निश्चितापि न शोभते।
घातयन्ति हि कार्याणि दूताः पण्डितमानिनः ॥ ५.३०.३८ ॥
Even a resolute mind is not fitting when it wavers between gain and loss; messengers who think themselves wise are the ones who ruin affairs.
5.30.39
न विनश्येत् कथं कार्यं वैक्लव्यं न कथं मम।
लङ्घनं च समुद्रस्य कथं नु न वृथा भवेत् ॥ ५.३०.३९ ॥
How may my task not be ruined, and how may confusion not take hold of me? And how may my leap across the ocean not become in vain?
5.30.41
कथं नु खलु वाक्यं मे शृणुयान्नोद्विजेत च।
राममक्लिष्टकर्माणं सुबन्धुमनुकीर्तयन्।
नैनामुद्वेजयिष्यामि तद्बन्धुगतचेतनाम् ॥ ५.३०.४१ ॥
How will she hear my words without being alarmed? Recalling Rāma, whose deeds are effortless, and his dear kinsman, I will not alarm her, whose mind is fixed on her kinsman.

इक्ष्वाकूणां वरिष्ठस्य रामस्य विदितात्मनः।
शुभानि धर्मयुक्तानि वचनानि समर्पयन् ॥ ५.३०.४२ ॥
Conveying the auspicious, dharma-endowed words of Rāma, the best of the Ikṣvāku kings, who knows his own self.

श्रद्धास्यति यथा सीता तथा सर्वं समादधे ॥ ५.३०.४३ ॥
Speaking sweet words, I will recite all of it, and I will arrange everything so that Sītā will believe it.
5.30.44

Looking upon the beloved of the lord of the earth, Hanumān, seated amid the branches of a tree, spoke sweet and true words.
