|| om tat sat||

Sundarakanda
Sarga 35

In Sarga 34, Sita's delight after hearing Hanuma can be seen in her statement,"ēti jīvanta mānaṁdō naraṁ varṣa śatādapi" ; But then Sita slides into a cauldron of doubts, she wonders if the one talking with her is the "māyāvī" Ravana himself?

Addressing Sita, who is lost in doubts, Hanuma speaks of Rama. 'āditya iva tējasvī lōkakāṁtaḥ śaśī yathā'| Saying "He is Glorious like the Sun, etc He brings delight to the whole world like the Moon", Hanuma starts on his favorite mode, which is singing about Rama.

Mention of Rama eases the mind of Sita. It is as though the word "Rama" is a weapon. A weapon that destroys doubts and uncertainty!

Saying "nāhamasmi tathā dēvī", "Oh Devi I am not what you are thinking", Hanuma confirms that he is indeed the messenger of Rama.

Although reassured, Sita wants to hear more about Rama. When you hear a pleasing song, you want to hear it again. The babies ask you to read the same story again and again. Mind focused on the Brahman never tires of enquiry into Brahman. So is the case with Sita. Sita wants to hear more about Rama. We hear all that in Sarga 35

Now we move on with Sarga 35.

That Sita knows them is also understood by Hanuma. Hanuma knows that Sita is asking these questions knowingly. Only to hear from him about Rama.

Sometimes people do ask questions whose answers are known. Sometimes, the people who are being asked consider it as a slight. It is a blow to their ego or react accordingly. Hanuma has no ego. He takes it as a good fortune that he got an opportunity. Hanuma responds..

"Oh Daughter of Janaka ! Rama is born with eyes like the lotus petals. He is one who delights all beings endowed with a form reflecting politeness and charm."||35.08||

These are all characteristics of Rama.

The well-known saying about Rama is,"rāmaḥ suguṇābhirāmaḥ", Rama is one decorated with wonderful traits . That vision of Rama comes out clearly in these verses of Hanuma.

This is a description that also echoes the divinity of Rama. Hanuma's reply starts with word "Rama". Hearing the word "Rama" one hears many echoes. Like the word " iyaṁ sītā" in Janaka's famous words at the marriage of Rama and Sita, here the word "Rama" too has many echoes.

"Rama" is of course the name of Rama. Hanuma can be understood as talking about the hero Rama.

"rāmaḥ" also means ,- "ramayati iti rāmaḥ" ; "ramayati" means one who delights you. He is one who delights you by his mere presence.

Every baby born is indeed a "Rama". Every baby is the one who delights the parents. The name Rama came about because he attracts the minds and delights. Dasharatha's son delights one and all and is a "Rama".

Starting the description of Rama's "Gunas"; Hanuma says "rāmaḥ ". Effectively he is saying in one word, " Oh, Sita your Husband is "rāmaḥ"; meaning there by that he is one who delights. Rama" meaning delight also brings a hint of the Supreme being. Supreme being or Brahman is the form of Sat-chit-Anand. Brahman is the form of Bliss. By saying "Rama" Hanuma is reminding us of Rama's divinity.

Continuing about Rama Hanuma says, " kamalapatrākṣaḥ"; First thing one notes about a person is, eyes. The first thing Hanuman talks too is about eyes." kamalapatrākṣaḥ"; Rama's eyes resemble a lotus leaf.

In Chandogyopanishad there is a description of the Brahman described as Sun, the cause of Universe. Sun is praised as source of all light and life, and is stated as worthy of meditation. Sun is seen as a manifestation of Brahman. Sun, a manifestation of Brahman is described as follows.

"hiraṇmayaḥ puruṣaḥ dr̥śyatē
hiraṇya śvaśruḥ hiraṇya nakhaḥ|
a praṇakhāt sarva ēva svarṇaḥ
yathā kapyāsaṁ puṁḍarīka mēva akṣiṇī"||

The Supreme being, as the Purusha is seen as "hiraṇmayaḥ" golden. How is he seen? With golden hair and golden nails. That all golden Purusha has eyes. Those eyes resemble a full-blown lotus flower. That Purusha is described as "kamalapatrākṣaḥ" That is the description of the "Purusha in Chandogyopanishad.

Hanuma also describes Rama as "kamalapatrākṣaḥ".

That Supreme being, described as Purusha, is born with a lineage of Surya, possessing all the wonderful attributes. "prasūtaḥ" also means the one without birth is born. Thus, Hanuma's description of Rama is that of "Brahman" itself.

The poet in these descriptions adds words which ring a bell. When he describes Rama as arciṣmān, Ramayana Tilaka adds the following. arciṣmān ati prakāśavān | śr̥tiśca " tasyā bhāsā sarvavidaṁ vibhāti"| Effectively it is saying that, description of Rama as 'arciṣmān', links it with the Shruti description of Brahman.

Having started describing Rama as Paramatman, Hanuma moves on to describe all the physical features of Dehatma in subsequent Slokas .

With this Sloka the narration of Hanumans comes to an end. ends. Hanuma's skill in narration can be seen here. He answered everything Sita asked. He was focused on winning the confidence of Sita

In the end Hanuma talks about himself. He was "born with powers of Vayu and equal to Vayu". In the whole of Ramayana this is the only time, we see Hanuma extolling his own prowess. Here he had to give confidence to Sita.
So, he built on his ability to cross the hundred Yojana wide ocean. He talked about his powers being equal to Vayu.
He even shows his gigantic form.

A little later Hanuman had to tell Sita about capability of the Vanara army. There the "ego less" Hanuma adopts a different stance. Hanuma says that Vanara army is full of warriors greater than him, "none is inferior to him" That is the greatness of Hanuma

Thus, ends Sarga 35 in Sundarakanda of Ramayana.

ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē ādikāvyē vālmīkīyē

Thus ends the Sarga thirty-five of Sundarakanda in Ramayana ,the first poem ever composed in Sanskrit by the first poet sage Valmiki.
