## The Tripañcāśattam Parva, Chapter 327
**42.** He, who was fearless and valiant like an elephant, whose face was as beautiful as the full moon, who was radiant like a thousand suns, adorned with garlands and garments, incomparable in form, radiant like the moon devoid of blemishes, bearing the mark of a monkey on his crown, fragrant and attracting bees, whose entire body was anointed with sandalwood, adorned with yellow unguents, whose lips were red with the juice of betel, adorned with a long garment, whose cheeks were illuminated by the light of his dangling earrings, who possessed a magnificent physique, whose valor was boundless, adorned with the ornaments of virtue, and endowed with great prowess, approached Sita, gradually attaining supreme beauty.
**43-47.** Seeing Hanuman, whose face was radiant with beauty, adorned with the supreme Lakshmi, those lotus-eyed women became agitated.
**48.** Mandodari, whose heart trembled, looked at Hanuman near Sita with wonder.
**49.** Then, approaching Sita, the supremely courteous son of the wind, placing his hands in a gesture of respect on his head, humbly declared his lineage, clan, and parents. Then, reassured, he delivered the message of Padma-natha.
**50-51.** He said, "O virtuous lady! Immersed in the ocean of your separation, Rama, even in a celestial chariot adorned with heavenly splendor, does not find joy.
**52.** Abandoning all other duties, he mostly remains silent, meditating on you like a sage, with a single-pointed mind.
**53.** O pure one, O virtuous one! The music of excellent women, accompanied by flutes and lutes, never reaches his ears.
**54.** O mistress! He always speaks of you with joy to everyone, and he only lives for the desire to see you.
**55.** Hearing these words of Hanuman, which revealed the state of her husband's heart, Sita, with her lotus eyes blooming, attained supreme joy.
**56.** Then, overcome with sorrow, Sita, with tears filling her eyes, spoke to the humble Hanuman, who stood before her.
