Episode 26 - Anjaneya meets Sita again to be sure of her safety

Anjaneya, who had a thorough-going approach, went back to the garden to see Sita to be doubly sure about her safety. He found her safe and secure and addressed her: “O Mother! You are safe by the grace of God.” Sita looked at home-bound Anjaneya again and again. Remembering her husband, she remarked: “O Anjaneya! You are competent to accomplish the task on hand alone and your valour is admirable. However, it will befit Rama, the hero, to overrun Lanka, destroy the Rakshasas in war and claim me back. Plan a strategy accordingly, appropriate to Rama's heroism.”

Hearing Sita's modest, rational and significant words, Anjaneya responded: “Rama will soon arrive here with an army of monkeys and bears led by Commanders and he will defeat the enemy in war and drive away your sorrow.” Having consoled Vaidehi, Anjaneya saluted and took leave of her. Eager to see Rama, he climbed a mountain top and assumed a huge form and took a great leap across the ocean and was heading north from the south.
