एवमुक्तस्तु हनुमान् राघवेण महात्मना।
सीताया भाषितं सर्वं न्यवेदयत राघवे ॥ ५.६७.१ ॥
Thus addressed by the great-souled Rāghava, Hanumān reported to Rāghava all of Sītā's words.
5.67.2
इदमुक्तवती देवी जानकी पुरुषर्षभ।
पूर्ववृत्तमभिज्ञानं चित्रकूटे यथातथम् ॥ ५.६७.२ ॥
O best of men, the goddess Jānakī spoke these words: the earlier event at Citrakūṭa, exactly as it happened, is the recognition sign.
5.67.3
सुखसुप्ता त्वया सार्धं जानकी पूर्वमुत्थिता।
वायसः सहसोत्पत्य विददार स्तनान्तरम् ॥ ५.६७.३ ॥
Jānakī, who had been sleeping peacefully with you, rose first; then a crow suddenly flew up and pecked between her breasts.
5.67.4
पर्यायेण च सुप्तस्त्वं देव्यङ्के भरताग्रज।
पुनश्च किल पक्षी स देव्या जनयति व्यथा ॥ ५.६७.४ ॥
O elder brother of Bharata, you slept in turn in the goddess's lap; and again that bird caused her pain.

ततस्त्वं बोधितस्तस्याः शोणितेन समुक्षितः ॥ ५.६७.५ ॥
Then the crow came back and pecked at her fiercely; then she woke you, and you were drenched with blood.
5.67.6
वायसेन च तेनैवं सततं बाध्यमानया।
बोधितः किल देव्या त्वं सुखसुप्तः परंतप ॥ ५.६७.६ ॥
Tormented constantly by that crow in this way, the goddess woke you, who were sleeping happily, O scorcher of foes.
5.67.7
तां च दृष्ट्वा महाबाहो दारितां च स्तनान्तरे।
आशीविष इव क्रुद्धस्ततो वाक्यं त्वमूचिवान् ॥ ५.६७.७ ॥
O mighty-armed one, seeing her torn between the breasts, you, enraged like a serpent, then spoke these words.
5.67.8
नखाग्रैः केन ते भीरु दारितं वै स्तनान्तरम्।
कः क्रीडति सरोषेण पञ्चवक्त्रेण भोगिना ॥ ५.६७.८ ॥
O timid one, who has torn this wound between your breasts with the tips of your nails? Who is playing with an angry five-mouthed serpent?
5.67.9
निरीक्षमाणः सहसा वायसं समुदैक्षथाः।
नखैः सरुधिरैस्तीक्ष्णैस्तामेवाभिमुखं स्थितम् ॥ ५.६७.९ ॥
Looking suddenly, you gazed closely at the crow, which stood facing her with sharp, blood-stained nails.
5.67.10
सुतः किल स शक्रस्य वायसः पततां वरः।
धरान्तरगतः शीघ्रं पवनस्य गतौ समः ॥ ५.६७.१० ॥
That crow was indeed the son of Indra, best of birds; he could pass swiftly through the midst of the earth, equal to the wind in speed.
5.67.11
ततस्तस्मिन् महाबाहो कोपसंवर्तितेक्षणः।
वायसे त्वं व्यधाः क्रूरां मतिं मतिमतां वर ॥ ५.६७.११ ॥
Then, O mighty-armed one, with eyes reddened by anger, you resolved cruelly upon that crow, O best of the wise.
5.67.12
स दर्भसंस्तराद् गृह्य ब्रह्मास्त्रेण न्ययोजयः।
स दीप्त इव कालाग्निर्जज्वालाभिमुखं खगम् ॥ ५.६७.१२ ॥
Taking it up from a bed of kuśa grass, you launched it with the Brahmāstra; it blazed like the fire of death and flared toward the bird.
5.67.13
स त्वं प्रदीप्तं चिक्षेप दर्भं तं वायसं प्रति।
ततस्तु वायसं दीप्तः स दर्भोऽनुजगाम ह ॥ ५.६७.१३ ॥
Then you hurled a blazing blade of kuśa grass at that crow. Then that blazing kuśa grass pursued the crow.
5.67.14
भीतैश्च सम्परित्यक्तः सुरैः सर्वैश्च वायसः।
त्रीँल्लोकान् सम्परिक्रम्य त्रातारं नाधिगच्छति ॥ ५.६७.१४ ॥
Frightened and abandoned by all the gods, the crow wandered through the three worlds, but found no protector.
5.67.15
पुनरप्यागतस्तत्र त्वत्सकाशमरिंदम।
त्वं तं निपतितं भूमौ शरण्यः शरणागतम् ॥ ५.६७.१५ ॥
O subduer of foes, he came again there into your presence. You, the refuge of those who seek shelter, saw him fallen upon the ground, a suppliant.
5.67.16
वधार्हमपि काकुत्स्थ कृपया परिपालयः।
मोघमस्त्रं न शक्यं तु कर्तुमित्येव राघव ॥ ५.६७.१६ ॥
O descendant of Kakutstha, though he deserved death, you protected him out of compassion. O Rāghava, a weapon cannot be made fruitless; thus it was done.
5.67.17
भवांस्तस्याक्षि काकस्य हिनस्ति स्म स दक्षिणम्।
राम त्वां स नमस्कृत्य राज्ञो दशरथस्य च ॥ ५.६७.१७ ॥
You struck out the crow's right eye. O Rāma, he bowed to you and to King Daśaratha, and departed.
5.67.18
विसृष्टस्तु तदा काकः प्रतिपेदे स्वमालयम्।
एवमस्त्रविदां श्रेष्ठः सत्त्ववाञ्छीलवानपि ॥ ५.६७.१८ ॥
Then the released crow returned to its own abode. Thus you are foremost among knowers of weapons, strong in character, and virtuous as well.
5.67.19
किमर्थमस्त्रं रक्षःसु न योजयसि राघव।
न दानवा न गन्धर्वा नासुरा न मरुद्गणाः ॥ ५.६७.१९ ॥
Rāghava, why do you not employ your weapon against the rākṣasas? Neither dānavas, nor gandharvas, nor asuras, nor the host of Maruts.
5.67.20
तव राम रणे शक्तास्तथा प्रतिसमासितुम्।
तव वीर्यवतः कश्चिन्मयि यद्यस्ति सम्भ्रमः ॥ ५.६७.२० ॥
Rāma, who is able to withstand you in battle? If there is any concern in your mighty self about me...
5.67.21
क्षिप्रं सुनिशितैर्बाणैर्हन्यतां युधि रावणः।
भ्रातुरादेशमाज्ञाय लक्ष्मणो वा परंतपः ॥ ५.६७.२१ ॥
Let Rāvaṇa be quickly struck down in battle with very sharp arrows; or let Lakṣmaṇa, the tormentor of foes, do so, knowing his brother's command.
5.67.22
स किमर्थं नरवरो न मां रक्षति राघवः।
शक्तौ तौ पुरुषव्याघ्रौ वाय्वग्निसमतेजसौ ॥ ५.६७.२२ ॥
Why does that best of men, the Rāghava, not protect me? Those two tigers among men are capable, equal in splendor to wind and fire.
5.67.23
सुराणामपि दुर्धर्षौ किमर्थं मामुपेक्षतः।
ममैव दुष्कृतं किंचिन्महदस्ति न संशयः ॥ ५.६७.२३ ॥
Why do those two, unassailable even by the gods, neglect me? Surely there is some great wrong of mine; there is no doubt.
5.67.24
समर्थौ सहितौ यन्मां न रक्षेते परंतपौ।
वैदेह्या वचनं श्रुत्वा करुणं साधुभाषितम् ॥ ५.६७.२४ ॥
Those two capable ones, together, the tormentors of foes, do not protect me. Having heard the piteous and well-spoken words of Vaidehī...
5.67.25
पुनरप्यहमार्यां तामिदं वचनमब्रुवम्।
त्वच्छोकविमुखो रामो देवि सत्येन ते शपे ॥ ५.६७.२५ ॥
Again I spoke these words to that noble lady: O goddess, Rāma has turned away from grief for your sake; I swear it by truth.
5.67.26
रामे दुःखाभिभूते च लक्ष्मणः परितप्यते।
कथंचिद् भवती दृष्टा न कालः परिशोचितुम् ॥ ५.६७.२६ ॥
Rāma is overcome with sorrow, and Lakṣmaṇa is tormented; you have been seen somehow, and this is no time for lamentation.
5.67.27
अस्मिन् मुहूर्ते दुःखानामन्तं द्रक्ष्यसि भामिनि।
तावुभौ नरशार्दूलौ राजपुत्रौ परंतपौ ॥ ५.६७.२७ ॥
O radiant lady, at this very moment you will see the end of your sorrows; those two, the royal princes, tigers among men, scorchers of foes.
5.67.28
त्वद्दर्शनकृतोत्साहौ लङ्कां भस्मीकरिष्यतः।
हत्वा च समरे रौद्रं रावणं सहबान्धवम् ॥ ५.६७.२८ ॥
Eager from seeing you, those two will reduce Laṅkā to ashes, and in battle, having slain the dreadful Rāvaṇa with his kinsmen,
5.67.29
राघवस्त्वां वरारोहे स्वपुरीं नयिता ध्रुवम्।
यत् तु रामो विजानीयादभिज्ञानमनिन्दिते ॥ ५.६७.२९ ॥
Rāghava will surely lead you to his own city; O blameless one, tell me what sign it is that Rāma would recognize.
5.67.30
प्रीतिसंजननं तस्य प्रदातुं तत् त्वमर्हसि।
साभिवीक्ष्य दिशः सर्वा वेण्युद्ग्रथनमुत्तमम् ॥ ५.६७.३० ॥
You should give him that token which brings him joy; then she looked toward all the directions and untied the excellent knot of her braid.
5.67.31
मुक्त्वा वस्त्राद् ददौ मह्यं मणिमेतं महाबल।
प्रतिगृह्य मणिं दोर्भ्यां तव हेतो रघुप्रिय ॥ ५.६७.३१ ॥
O mighty one, she untied it from her cloth and gave me this jewel. O beloved of the Raghus, receive this jewel with both arms, for your sake.
5.67.32
शिरसा सम्प्रणम्यैनामहमागमने त्वरे।
गमने च कृतोत्साहमवेक्ष्य वरवर्णिनी ॥ ५.६७.३२ ॥
Bowing my head to her, I hastened to return. Seeing me eager to go, the fair-complexioned lady (Sītā),
5.67.33
विवर्धमानं च हि मामुवाच जनकात्मजा।
अश्रुपूर्णमुखी दीना बाष्पगद्गदभाषिणी ॥ ५.६७.३३ ॥
Seeing me grow in eagerness, the daughter of Janaka, her face full of tears, sorrowful, spoke to me in a voice choked with tears.
5.67.34
ममोत्पतनसम्भ्रान्ता शोकवेगसमाहता।
मामुवाच ततः सीता सभाग्योऽसि महाकपे ॥ ५.६७.३४ ॥
Agitated by my leaping, struck by the force of grief, Sītā then said to me: O great monkey, you are fortunate.
5.67.35
यद् द्रक्ष्यसि महाबाहुं रामं कमललोचनम्।
लक्ष्मणं च महाबाहुं देवरं मे यशस्विनम् ॥ ५.६७.३५ ॥
You will see the mighty-armed Rāma, lotus-eyed, and you will see the mighty-armed Lakṣmaṇa, my glorious brother-in-law.
5.67.36
सीतयाप्येवमुक्तोऽहमब्रुवं मैथिलीं तथा।
पृष्ठमारोह मे देवि क्षिप्रं जनकनन्दनि ॥ ५.६७.३६ ॥
When Sītā said this, I too addressed the Maithilī in the same way: O goddess, daughter of Janaka, quickly mount upon my back.
5.67.37
यावत्ते दर्शयाम्यद्य ससुग्रीवं सलक्ष्मणम्।
राघवं च महाभागे भर्तारमसितेक्षणे ॥ ५.६७.३७ ॥
O greatly fortunate one, O dark-eyed lady, I will show you at once your husband Rāghava, together with Sugrīva and Lakṣmaṇa.
5.67.38
साब्रवीन्मां ततो देवी नैष धर्मो महाकपे।
यत्ते पृष्ठं सिषेवेऽहं स्ववशा हरिपुङ्गव ॥ ५.६७.३८ ॥
Then that goddess said to me: 'O great monkey, this is not proper conduct—that I, of my own will, should ride upon your back, O best of monkeys.'
5.67.39
पुरा च यदहं वीर स्पृष्टा गात्रेषु रक्षसा।
तत्राहं किं करिष्यामि कालेनोपनिपीडिता ॥ ५.६७.३९ ॥
O hero, formerly, when the rākṣasa touched my limbs, what could I do? I was oppressed by time (fate).

इत्येवं सा समाभाष्य भूयः संदेष्टुमास्थिता ॥ ५.६७.४० ॥

हनूमन् सिंहसंकाशौ तावुभौ रामलक्ष्मणौ।
सुग्रीवं च सहामात्यं सर्वान् ब्रूया अनामयम् ॥ ५.६७.४१ ॥
O Hanumān, to those two lion-like ones, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, and to Sugrīva with his ministers—to all of them you should say my good wishes (inquire after their well-being).
5.67.42
यथा च स महाबाहुर्मां तारयति राघवः।
अस्माद्दुःखाम्बुसंरोधात् तत् त्वमाख्यातुमर्हसि ॥ ५.६७.४२ ॥
And the way in which that mighty-armed Rāghava will deliver me from this confinement, a flood of sorrow—that you ought to tell him.
5.67.43
इदं च तीव्रं मम शोकवेगं
रक्षोभिरेभिः परिभर्त्सनं च।
ब्रूयास्तु रामस्य गतः समीपं
शिवश्च तेऽध्वास्तु हरिप्रवीर ॥ ५.६७.४३ ॥
Go to Rāma and tell him of the fierce surge of my grief and these threats of the rākṣasas. May your path be auspicious, O best of monkeys.
