What happens in this chapter
Sita's blessing and leave to eat fruit
Hanuman's words, full of bhakti and strength, content Sita. Knowing him dear to Rama, she blesses him: son, be ageless, deathless, a treasure of strength, conduct and virtue, and may Raghunayak love you much. At the words the Lord will be gracious, Hanuman is lost in love and bows at her feet again and again. Now I am fulfilled, mother; your blessing never fails. Then: I am very hungry, and the trees are full of fruit. Great rakshasas guard this grove, she warns. I fear none of them if you are pleased. Seeing his wit and strength, Janaki says: go, son, keep Raghupati's feet in your heart and eat the sweet fruit.
अजर अमर गुन-निधि सुत होहू । करहुँ बहुत रघुनायक छोहू ॥
करहुँ कृपा प्रभु अस सुनि काना । निर्भर प्रेम मगन हनुमाना ॥
ajara amara guna-nidhi suta hohū | karahum̐ bahuta raghunāyaka chohū ||
karahum̐ kṛpā prabhu asa suni kānā | nirbhara prema magana hanumānā ||
बार बार नाएसि पद सीसा । बोला बचन जोरि कर कीसा ॥
अब कृतकृत्य भयउँ मैं माता । आसिष तव अमोघ बिख्याता ॥
bāra bāra nāesi pada sīsā | bolā bacana jori kara kīsā ||
aba kṛtakṛtya bhayaum̐ maiṃ mātā | āsiṣa tava amogha bikhyātā ||
सुनहु मातु मोहि अतिसय भूखा । लागि देखि सुन्दर फल रूखा ॥
सुनु सुत करहिँ विपिन रखवारी । परम सुभट रजनीचर भारी ॥
sunahu mātu mohi atisaya bhūkhā | lāgi dekhi sundara phala rūkhā ||
sunu suta karahim̐ vipina rakhavārī | parama subhaṭa rajanīcara bhārī ||
तिन्ह कर भय माता मोहि नाहीँ । जौँ तुम्ह सुख मानहु मन माहीं ॥
tinha kara bhaya mātā mohi nāhīm̐ | jaum̐ tumha sukha mānahu mana māhīṃ ||
देखि बुद्धि-बल-निपुन कपि, कहेउ जानकीं जाहु ।
रघुपति-चरन हृदयँ धरि, तात मधुर फल खाहु ॥
dekhi buddhi-bala-nipuna kapi, kaheu jānakīṃ jāhu |
raghupati-carana hṛdayam̐ dhari, tāta madhura phala khāhu ||
