6.1.1
श्रुत्वा हनूमतो वाक्यं यथावदभिभाषितम्।
रामः प्रीतिसमायुक्तो वाक्यमुत्तरमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१.१ ॥
Having heard Hanumān's words, spoken exactly as they were, Rāma, filled with delight, spoke this reply.
6.1.2
कृतं हनूमता कार्यं सुमहद् भुवि दुर्लभम्।
मनसापि यदन्येन न शक्यं धरणीतले ॥ ६.१.२ ॥
Hanumān has accomplished a great task, very rare on earth, which no one else could even have contemplated on the surface of the earth.
6.1.3
नहि तं परिपश्यामि यस्तरेत महोदधिम्।
अन्यत्र गरुडाद् वायोरन्यत्र च हनूमतः ॥ ६.१.३ ॥
I see no one who could cross the great ocean except Garuḍa, Vāyu, and Hanumān.
6.1.4
देवदानवयक्षाणां गन्धर्वोरगरक्षसाम्।
अप्रधृष्यां पुरीं लङ्कां रावणेन सुरक्षिताम् ॥ ६.१.४ ॥
The city of Laṅkā, unassailable even by gods, dānavas, yakṣas, gandharvas, serpents and rākṣasas, well protected by Rāvaṇa.
6.1.5
प्रविष्टः सत्त्वमाश्रित्य जीवन् को नाम निष्क्रमेत्।
को विशेत् सुदुराधर्षां राक्षसैश्च सुरक्षिताम् ॥ ६.१.५ ॥
Who, having entered relying on courage, could come out alive? Who could enter that city, very hard to assail and well guarded by the rākṣasas?
6.1.6
यो वीर्यबलसम्पन्नो न समः स्याद्धनूमतः।
भृत्यकार्यं हनुमता सुग्रीवस्य कृतं महत्।
एवं विधाय स्वबलं सदृशं विक्रमस्य च ॥ ६.१.६ ॥
No one endowed with valour and strength could be equal to Hanumān. Hanumān has accomplished the great task of Sugrīva's servant, thus displaying a deed fitting his own strength and prowess.
6.1.7
यो हि भृत्यो नियुक्तः सन् भर्त्रा कर्मणि दुष्करे।
कुर्यात् तदनुरागेण तमाहुः पुरुषोत्तमम् ॥ ६.१.७ ॥
The servant who, appointed by his master to a difficult task, performs it out of devotion to him — such a one they call the best of men.
6.1.8
यो नियुक्तः परं कार्यं न कुर्यान्नृपतेः प्रियम्।
भृत्यो युक्तः समर्थश्च तमाहुर्मध्यमं नरम् ॥ ६.१.८ ॥
The servant who, though appointed and capable and able, does not perform the supreme task dear to the king — such a one they call a middling man.
6.1.9
नियुक्तो नृपतेः कार्यं न कुर्याद् यः समाहितः।
भृत्यो युक्तः समर्थश्च तमाहुः पुरुषाधमम् ॥ ६.१.९ ॥
The servant who, appointed by the king and attentive, does not perform the king's task, though capable and able — such a one they call the lowest of men.
6.1.10
तन्नियोगे नियुक्तेन कृतं कृत्यं हनूमता।
न चात्मा लघुतां नीतः सुग्रीवश्चापि तोषितः ॥ ६.१.१० ॥
Hanumān, appointed to that charge, accomplished the task; he did not lower himself, and Sugrīva too was pleased.
6.1.11
अहं च रघुवंशश्च लक्ष्मणश्च महाबलः।
वैदेह्या दर्शनेनाद्य धर्मतः परिरक्षिताः ॥ ६.१.११ ॥
Today, by the sight of Vaidehī, I, the Raghu line, and mighty Lakṣmaṇa have been protected according to dharma.
6.1.12
इदं तु मम दीनस्य मनो भूयः प्रकर्षति।
यदिहास्य प्रियाख्यातुर्न कुर्मि सदृशं प्रियम् ॥ ६.१.१२ ॥
Yet this wretched mind of mine is again and again drawn to this thought: that here I cannot give a fitting dear reward to the one who has brought this glad news.
6.1.13
एष सर्वस्वभूतस्तु परिष्वङ्गो हनूमतः।
मया कालमिमं प्राप्य दत्तस्तस्य महात्मनः ॥ ६.१.१३ ॥
This embrace, which is my all, I now give to the great-souled Hanumān at this moment.
6.1.14
इत्युक्त्वा प्रीतिहृष्टाङ्गो रामस्तं परिषस्वजे।
हनूमन्तं कृतात्मानं कृतकार्यमुपागतम् ॥ ६.१.१४ ॥
Having said this, Rāma, his limbs thrilled with affection, embraced Hanumān, the self-controlled one, who had come back with his task accomplished.
6.1.15
ध्यात्वा पुनरुवाचेदं वचनं रघुसत्तमः।
हरीणामीश्वरस्यापि सुग्रीवस्योपशृण्वतः ॥ ६.१.१५ ॥
Having reflected, Rāma, best of the Raghus, spoke these words again, while Sugrīva, lord of the monkeys, was also listening.
6.1.16
सर्वथा सुकृतं तावत् सीतायाः परिमार्गणम्।
सागरं तु समासाद्य पुनर्नष्टं मनो मम ॥ ६.१.१६ ॥
The search for Sītā has been well done in every way; but having reached the ocean, my mind has been lost again.
6.1.17
कथं नाम समुद्रस्य दुष्पारस्य महाम्भसः।
हरयो दक्षिणं पारं गमिष्यन्ति समागताः ॥ ६.१.१७ ॥
How indeed will the monkeys, gathered here, cross to the southern shore of this ocean, so hard to cross, with its vast waters?
6.1.18
यद्यप्येष तु वृत्तान्तो वैदेह्या गदितो मम।
समुद्रपारगमने हरीणां किमिवोत्तरम् ॥ ६.१.१८ ॥
Although Vaidehī has reported this news to me, what answer will the monkeys give about crossing the ocean?
6.1.19
इत्युक्त्वा शोकसम्भ्रान्तो रामः शत्रुनिबर्हणः।
हनूमन्तं महाबाहुस्ततो ध्यानमुपागमत् ॥ ६.१.१९ ॥
Having said this, Rāma, bewildered by grief, the destroyer of foes, the mighty-armed one, then fell into thought about Hanumān.
