Devi Sita Inspects the Ring of Rama

That is when Sita saw the extremely beautiful and enchanting ring with the name of Rama engraved on it. Wonder struck on identifying the ring, she was agitated with feelings of joy and sorrow in quick succession.

She reflected that the Lord of the Raghus is forever invincible, who can possibly triumph over him? And such a divine ring (devoid of the power of maya or illusion) can not be fabricated.Sita was absorbed in fantasies of various kinds and that is precisely when Hanuman spoke sweetly.He began to recount the glories of Lord Ramchandra and the instant she heard them Sita's grief vanished. She listened in rapt attention with her mind and soul. Hanuman narrated the entire story right from the very beginning.


Hanuman Appears Before Devi Sita

She said," Oh dear, who has narrated this tale which sounds like nectar to my ears! Why don't you appear visibly? "Thereafter, Hanuman went near her.Seeing him, Sita turned around (with her face turned away) and was astonished within. Hanuman said, “Oh mother Janaki! I am Lord Ramchandra's envoy. I truly swear by the Supreme Being who is the repository of compassion. I am the one who has got this finger ring,oh Mother!Lord Rama has given it to me as a token so that you can easily identify me. Sita asked, “Tell me how a man and monkey came into contact with each other.” That is when Hanuman told the story of how men and monkeys connected with each other.

Devi Sita Gathers that Hanuman is a Servitor of Lord Rama

On hearing the affectionate words of Hanuman, trust arose in her heart.She could gather that he was the servant of the all compassionate, Lord of the Raghus, in thought, words and actions.

Devi Sita Wants to Know About Lord Rama's Well Being

Knowing that he was an adherent of Hari and his devotee, Sita developed great affection for him.Her eyes streamed with tears of joy and her body was ecstatic. Sita said, “Oh dear Hanuman! You have virtually come as a ship for me who was drowning in the ocean of loneliness. I implore you now to tell me about the well-being of Lord Rama, the abode of bliss and the destroyer of demon Khara, and Lakshmana, his younger brother.


Lord of the Raghus is Lovingly Tender

Lord Raghunath is lovingly tender at heart and merciful.Then for what reason Oh Hanuman, has he adopted this harsh approach towards me. Imparting delight to those who serve him, is his innate trait. Does the Lord of the Raghus remember me? Oh dear! Will my eyes ever be cooled by seeing His tender and dark-hued limbs? "She was at a loss for words and her eyes filled with tears of anguish. She lamented, “Well Lord! You have forgotten me completely.”


Hanuman Reveals the Well-Being of Lord Rama & Laxmana

Seeing Sita in such agony of separation from the Lord, Hanuman spoke tender and comforting words. Oh mother!The beautiful Lord who is the abode of compassion along with brother Lakshman is physically fine but is suffering because of your grief. Do not be depressed, oh Mother! Deep within his heart, Lord Ramchandra loves you twice as much as you love him. 
 
Doha: 14
raghupati kara samdesu aba sunu janani dhari dhira|
asa kahi kapi gadagada bhayau bhare bilocana nira||14||

Oh mother! Mustering courage, listen to the message of Lord Raghunath, now. Saying so, Hanuman became emotionally ecstatic and his eyes filled with tears of joy.
