Then the minister Jambunada spoke to Hanuman, words of great benefit: "My dear son, son of the wind, you alone are our refuge." (98) "You must go to Lanka, guarded by Ravana, with utmost care. Do not engage in any conflict with anyone, at any time." (99) Saying "So be it," the noble Hanuman prepared to depart. Seeing him, Rama was filled with immense joy. (100) Calling Hanuman, adorned with beautiful features, again and again, Rama, with eyes like blooming lotuses, spoke with utmost respect: "Tell Sita from me, O virtuous one, that Rama, due to his separation from you, finds no peace of mind anywhere. His mind finds no solace in anything." (101-102) "I consider it a great blow to my manhood that you, in my presence, are facing resistance and obstruction." (103) "I know you are pure in character and devoted to me. Though you may wish to give up your life, grieving over our separation, O beautiful one, even so, death with a bad outcome is futile. O daughter of Mithila, hold onto your life. You should not abandon it." (104-105) "It is rare to find a reunion, even more so, it is rare to find a reunion that is cherished above all else. Even rarer than that is the Dharma revealed by the mouth of the Jina." (106) "Even though that Dharma is rare, death in Samadhi is rarer still. Without that, this life is seen as empty, like husks." (107) "And to give my beloved assurance of my life, give her this excellent ring, always cherished by me." (108) "And, O son of the wind, go quickly and bring me Sita's radiant, magnificent crown, which will also give me assurance." (109) Saying "As you command," Hanuman, adorned with a crown of jewels, bowed to Rama and Lakshmana, and went out. He was filled with joy, radiant with divine powers, and his brilliance filled the entire courtyard of Sugriva's palace. (110)
You will soon see Sita's face, as pure and bright as the moon. (97)
