Padma Purana
Ravana, pleased, gave them clothes, jewels, and other things from his body. Hearing this, Sita, with a smiling face, thought, "The task is accomplished." ||28|| Filled with joy, as if he had received the nectar of immortality, he eagerly ordered a grand celebration. ||29|| Following her husband's command, the virtuous Mandodari, along with all the women of the palace, quickly went to where Sita was. ||30|| Seeing Sita, whose face was now radiant, Mandodari said after a long time, "Oh, daughter! You have bestowed a great favor upon us all today." ||31|| "Just as Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, serves Indra, the king of the gods, who is endowed with all riches, so too, you should now serve Ravana, the lord of the world, free from sorrow." ||32|| Angered by Mandodari's words, Sita replied, "Oh, Vidyaadhari! If Rama were to know of your words, your husband would surely be killed." ||33|| "News of my husband has arrived, and I am filled with joy and have attained supreme patience. That is why I have a smile on my face." ||34|| Hearing Sita's words, the women of the Rakshasa king said, "She is delirious due to hunger, and that is why she is laughing and talking like this." ||35|| Gautama Swami says, "Oh, Shrenik! After this, Sita, filled with wonder, spoke in a very high voice, full of eagerness, saying, "Who is this kind and loving friend of mine who has come near me, who has suffered hardship in this terrifying island in the middle of the ocean?" ||36-37||
Then, Hanuman, whose presence was requested and whose mind was filled with virtue, thought, ||38|| "A man who puts the work of others before his own, and then hides himself, is a coward and a low person." ||39|| "Those who support others in times of distress, those compassionate souls, have a pure birth." ||40|| "There is no loss of manhood in revealing oneself, but rather, by revealing oneself, the glorious Lakshmi gains prestige in the world." ||41|| Then, Hanuman, like a celestial being, went to Sita, who was sitting among thousands of beautiful women.
