||ओम् तत् सत्॥
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा वालिसूनुरभाषत।
अयुक्तं तु विना देवीं दृष्टवद्भिश्च वानराः॥1||
समीपं गन्तुमस्माभी राघवस्य महात्मनः।
Hearing those words of Hanuman, Vali's son spoke." Oh Vanaras, though Sita was seen, going to Rama without Sita is not proper".
||ओम् तत् सत्॥

Sundarakanda
Sarga 60

Hearing those words of Hanuman, Vali's son spoke.

"Vanaras, though Sita was seen, going to Rama without Sita is not proper. I see it as inappropriate. As powerful as you are, saying that we saw Sita and did not bring her back is not appropriate best of Vanaras, There is none among Devas or Daityas who can equal us in our strength or in our ability to fly in the sky.

'Conquering Lanka along with all Rakshasas, killing Ravana in the battle, we rescue Sita, achieve our goal and go happily. Hanuman has killed many of those Rakshasas. What is the task left other than bringing back Sita?'

'Let us bring back Sita to be in the middle of Rama and Lakshmana. Why so many words? No other Vanaras are necessary. We can go kill the Rakshasa warriors, then meet Rama who is with Lakshmana and Sugriva'.

Jambavan then spoke affectionately with meaningful words to that best of Vanaras, who made up his mind on the course of action.

'Oh, great Vanara, the thought that is being projected by you is not appropriate. We were ordered to go in the southern direction in search of Sita. Bringing her back was not mentioned by the king of Vanaras or sagacious Rama. Gaining victory in some way and carrying her back may not be liked. Raghava himself took a vow to gain victory and bring back Sita. How can Vanaras go against that? Any action in opposition will be a failure and will not lead to happiness. The courage shown in doing so would also be a waste'.

'So, we will all go to where Rama and Lakshmana are, and report to them what has been accomplished'.

'Oh Prince, though your suggestion is appropriate, my mind does not agree with that. We shall find out what is in the mind of Rama and act in way to ensure victory'.

Thus, the Sarga sixty comes to an end
