Kishkinda  kanda

1.Hanuman

Hanuman is  the dharma  carried  by  Anjana Devi,

Fir ten months  in her womb. The boon given,

To the world   by God Wind with great mercy.

He is as big as a hill, but  for looks  he is as simple as a calf,

He had learnt  the nine grammars   from sun god, one after  another,

While  running  in front  of his chariot

Though he   was a great  philosopher,

Without  any enlargement of  his head,

He had only  his  chins   enlarged

He is the   control of senses, which grew  ,

Legs , hands and later tail and ,

Was walking  on this earth,

The Brahmacharya   which he was,

Nurturing without any error

 was wonder among wonders

In his body where hairs grew, passion did not,

And because  of this his strong body  never became  weak

As a very strong person , if he takes  his super form,

The sky will  get torn , but from beginning   to end,

Only stream of mercy will flow

He will hold Gadha  in his hand but he,

Will only carry  mercy in his  eyes

He  will  swim in the ocean as well  as the heart of good people

His long hands will extend only to protect  honestey,

And the only  language his  toungue  and mind knew  was truth

He is campable of assuming any form at any time, and

Inspite of that  , he is  a  hundred percent good person

Now he took the form of a Brahmin lad and to know,

Who they were?, Hanuman went towards  the lord  and his brother,

Seeing them from a distance  he talked  to himself

Are  they two of the great  trinity  of gods or

Both are  same person split in to two?

They wear the saint’s attire but  why   are they carrying a bow?

They are  not devas but based on which can we conclude  ,

That they are men?The light of Dharma in their  eyes and in their body ,

And strength   they have light  of good behavior..

Have they lost some thing precious and came in    search of it?

In search of that  have they  become worried and pained.

Why is it that my body  melts on seeing them?

Why is it that  my mind  is going away   from me?,

Why does it go before me  and is chit chatting  with them?

Why is it in my mind   there is a peace  , which was never  before with me?

Carrying   within my mind so many  “why “, Hanuman went near,

The person of purity Rama and his sibling,

He  welcomed  them and enquired.

The Lord asked him “Oh Lad   who are you? And  Hanuman answered

“Oh lord, I am the one  who is called  Hanuman. Anjana devi is my mother,

Wind God  is my father, The poor me is the servant  of  Sugreeva  , the son of Sun God,

Who is living on this mountain He has sent me   to find out  , who you are?

The humility  of Hanuman, the explanation he gave, The  exceeding good character,

That was visible in him, the shine  of his look,  strength of his body,the knowledge

Which flew from him like a spring and showed himself in affection with others

Seeing them Rama, told his  younger  brother, “brother  he looks small,

But in his behavior  he is the king, The light  of Vedas  are  seen in his    eyes and because

Of that every words he speaks  is knowing his limitation,

To tell in brief, he  is  the king of words, the thief   who came  near  me and robbed my heart.

After speaking like this to his younger brother, after  that spoke  with Hanuman lovingly.

“Oh son of wind God Hanum,an, we are going to see   your king Sugreeva,

To know his place  of residence, we are  working   very hard, Please   do the needul for that,

Take  both of us to him”

The son of wind god told Rama with  humility”Oh lord  , by your coming , our Lord,

Would be benefitted. He may  get more strength  than now,In spite of That,

How shall poor me introduce you  to him, Please tell  this poor person

Take mercy   and please tell,

For the question of Hanuman, the younger  brother answered, Oh Brahmin lad, He is the

Son of king of Ayodhya, He is the primeval to everything

Protecting  the words of his father as  well his step mother,

He who gave his younger brother   the country that  belonged to him,

Afterwards   he came to this forest, He  is the loving husband of  mother Janaki and I am his servant

Understanding the particulars , the son of wind god , thought

That  the son of the emperor as  the lord Vishnu  himself,

He fell on the earth   and saluted the feet  of  the great one of Raghu clan

Rama did not accept this act-he did not expect it.He said

“son   you are  a Brahmin and I am from royal caste,

Your saluting  me is not proper”told  he  to Maruthi

For that  Hanuman replied”Oh lord  , I am not a Brahmin,

I belong to species of monkeys , an animal”

Before knowing who you are, I hid myself   from you,

And after  knowing you  , I am happy.

After saying this  the sweet Hanuman, showed him in  his real form,

Rama  appreciated  his wisdom.

Then Hanuman told that he will  bring Sugreeva to that place and went but,

Ananda Rama did not go away from his mind

To the Sugreeva   who was shivering and hiding  himself in the cave

They are not enemies-the one who has come is totality of culture

Said  son of wind god to him,The son of Sun God  was happy

Maruthi added

“Oh chief, the two who have come are  heart of your heart,

The sons of Dasaradha, theyare poison to the heart  of your enemy vali

They are books of Dharma   who walk on earth,

The elder is Rama  who is equal to form of God,

Though his heart is hurt, he will stand   erect like the needle of a  Balance

He has got his weapons   from sage Vishwamithra, and using them

He churned   the liver  of Thadaga like curd

As soon as the dust of his feet fell , the curse  of Ahalya was removed

He was the one who broke the ancient bow and one   ,

Who married  the new statue  Sita   after  breaking it

Parasurama wasI one who killed   several kings who met him,

He was the  one thewho destroyed his pride

Obeying the words  of affectionate father, he gave  ,

His country to his younger brother and one,

Who came to dandaka forest   afterwards

He was the one who killed  all the asuras in that forest,

And did not leave any one and burnt them to ashes

The wife  of this great expert, the pure one  who walked on this earth,

Has been kidnapped  by deceit  by the king  of Lanka,

And  has made  both of them worried/.

They have come  in search of  her who has parted,

They want  your friendship   only   for that,

It is definite  that they will kill  that Vali by their arrow,

And  it s also definite   that they  will make you live

After telling like this Hanuman put out the suspicion  of Sugreeva

Then later  he introuduced Sugreeva  and that pretty Rama,

Because of them had lost their kingdom and wife,

Hearing each others story  their minds melted

The heart of each of them . fell in to the heart of other,

They signed  a treaty for each other wiping the tears of the other

The Hanuman took the Lord  and younger one to the  palace of sugreeva

The son of Surya gave feast to those who were  born in sun’s clan

Anjaneya  described  the enmity  which happened  between Vali and Sugreeva,

To the helper  of dangers who removes the sorrow  of others

2.Vali

Vali was the poetic king who  ruled    from Kishkinda,

The father  of Hanuman the wind  king   was his minister

His younger  brother Sugreeva was the  junior king

When both of them were ruling their  fame  spread everywhere

In later days both developed  difference  of opinion in the government

Because of that  differences  bloomed between them

Both of  them  had same mother  but different fathers,

Vali was son of   king of Indra  and Sugreeva  , the son of sun god

Seventy companies  of Monkey army  obeyed orders of Vali

He was the one who observed  purity  in his respect,

Lord Shiva   gave him  lots of boons

The power  that was in ocean earth  , fire  and wind 

Was in his tail, the  whiteness  of the sky was  seen in  his shoulders,

Who will come to fight this valorous  one here,

If an enemy  comes before him , due to his boon , he will get half his strength,

This   boon was  given to him by fire God

Within a  half a second he will jump from floor to the peak of the mountain,

He will  jump across the deep sea as if it were  a pond, very easily

The stick of rule of king of Lanka was  not as long as tail of Vali,

The son of Indra  is one who tied  Ravana in his tail  and went around the world

Keeping the courage of his father  and charity of his mother in his mind,

Is Angadha  who lived  greatly  and was the darling  son of Vali   and his wife  Thara

During those  days there was an asura called Dundhubhi, NO one can be  compared to him

He will swallow  thousand elephants  by his mouth and still  he will live with great  hunger,

Enlarging his form, he will  reach the sky, he will  hit the cool moon with his horns,

He  was sad that  there was no one equal   to his strength,

He went on searching  day and night  for a suitable  man to fight

At last he challenged the one who rides  on Garuda  for a war,

He showed him one who rides on the bull who showed  him,

One who rides on elephant and he  showed him father of Angadha

The father of Angadha beat and broke that  Asura and made him suffer

He washed  Dundhubhi like a dirty cloth, he took him ,

Rotated over his head   and threw him,

When the dead body of that  Asura fell on the hermitage  of sage Mathanga

The sage who could guess, that it was thrown by Vali  , literally burned like Yaga fire

He cursed  that if Vali came to  this mountain, he will die and later  he prayed God

Later another  Asura called Mayavi, came  to Vali’s Kishkinda  ,

And talked  artificially.He scolded  them in a bad way.

Vali stood up and tore him line by line. With  less life  ,

He escaped   and hid himself in a cave, Stopping Sugrreeva ,

Who followed ,him , in the mouth of the cave, with great  anger,

Vali entered  the  cave and searched for him. For twenty eight months,

Sugreeva waited near  the mouth of the cave.His legs started  becoming weak.

One day blood started coming out  in large quantities from the cave   and

They also heard huge commotion made by the  crowd of asuras,

And this gave  mental confusion to Sugreeva

Thinking that  his elder brother Vali has  been killed by the asuras,

He closed  the mouth of the cave by a very big stone and ran to Kishkinda

Allmonkey leaders with a wish that  the country should not become an orphan,

Made Sugreeva their king and they slowly consoled  themselves  because of it.

One day  Vali came  back fully alive  and stood before  Sugreeva

Sugreeva not able to decide whether it   was realty or dream pinched himself to verify

After  deciding it is truth, he fell  at the feet of elder brother and saluted him,

He agreed to serve elder  brother like previous times

“Oh brother  you have  come and made me alive, take this country”

Saying like this he saluted him with folded hands

But  Vali  did not agree  to the words  of his sibling, and so the younger one ,

Could not escape from attack of the eleder

Vali rotated  and rotated  and hit his brother .with  bursting anger  he said,

“without killing you , I will not take rest, To save  his own life  , the younger brother

Ran away from kishkinda.

He came to the mountain where sage matanga’s home  was there and hid himself there

Thinking about the curse  of Matanga , Vali   did not come  near the mountain.

Later taking away Ruma who was wife  of  Sugreeva, vali  went to kishkinda.

From that day to the son of Sun god  , son of Indra  became a born enemies

When son of wind god explained  the story of Vali like this,Sitamama

Heard that   silently and at the  end his lotus like face  showed anger

“Sugreeva ,  I will kill the Vali who   beat  you not believing in you  and

Carried away your wife in a second,I will get the crown again to you,

Tell me where  that Vali is?

My arrows want to kill him

Saying like this Sundararama hugged  Sugreeva and Sugreeva  

drowned   himself in ocean of joy.

But in the mind of son of sun god, had   a disbelief about the lord

-a line of suspicion about  victory.

How can Vali   who was like a mythical Yali  be killed by a mere  arrow,

With  in the heat of mid summer   will water  of ocean dry?

If you blow with mouth  lamp can be put out but can moon be?

If we throw stones  fruits may fall but will  stars  fall?

No one  is equal to  Rama in showing affection , not in sending an arrow?

Sugreeva took Veeraraghava  outside and asked him whether  he

can shoot through seven trees standing in a row?

Within a second  Rama bent his bow and sent

 an arrow through those   seven trees.

After  doing that job properly  the arrow  returned  to his hand

Sugreeva saluted Rama said, “Only  you are  equal  to yourself,

Only you  are help for me.

Rama saw  a huge  collection of bones in front of them

He asked Sugreeva , What are They?

“the skeleton of Dundhubhi whom my  brother killed.” He replied,

Dasaratha Rama  slightly laughed

He told Lakshmana, “By your  finger of you leg you kick this bundle of bones.”

The youger brother did and  it fell at a  distance  of Seven Kadham

With tears  the son of sun God saluted them and there  was no limit to his surprise.

“Oh my lord, You are  stronger in every aspect,The good man  

Who  is in between the good and bad people  .I argued with you

And without brain tested you

I the monkey  am seeing  for the first  time the  dharma  of heaven

Walking on this earth,As soon I realized it , I hugged you tightly”

Saying  this Sugreeva  went in side and came out with a bundle,

He gave to the hands of Dasaradhi   and told a news

“few days back we saw Ravana flying towards the south, a lady  who was sitting there

Threw  this bundle on the  earth and   we caught it.”

When Rama opened the bundle and saw, Sita’s   jewels  shined from it.

They   took bath  in Rama’s tears and son of Dasratha   stood there with his mind boiling

He chided  himself

He was not able to free  his wife and bring her back, asked himself,

“Am I the big archer”He became  an ashamed sillyperson

Seeing the tears  of  Rama, unable to bear Sugreeva  also  stood with tears

“oh Lord, I will  resolve   your problem and later on you  can solve my  problem

Hanuman interfered and told with humility, “If we kill vali first  we will get

His huge army of seventy vellam.It can go to all eight   directions and  searchSita.

Sundararama agreed to Hanuman’s opinion and then they stared,

Towards  kishkinda where Vali stayed, removing  the worries in their eyes

3.Sugrreva  was crowned

Though he was son of the Sun  in the sky,

Because  he was born in a monkey clan,

From head to food he was covered long hair,

Inspite of so much hair, he  had  an endless  sorrow ,

Above his head

But, he can kill Vali  now, if he kills his  sorrow will end,

And the endless sorrow will come down, today to end his enmity,

Was not the power  of his long tail , but  the strength  of Lord Vishnu

Who was hiding behind him

He who normally hides  behind the Vedas  today

Hid himself behind trees and Sugreeva  went to call Vali for war

Going  and standing before the doors  of Vali’s home,

Sugrreva  challenged  him  for fighting with fist,

He told him that he  will drink the  blood of elder broth like payasam(kheer)

Vali who was sleeping in his room, hearing the  challenge.,

Of his younger brother got  up  suddenly and he fell ,

In the ocean emotion of terror

Earlier receiving my beats  , he ran away and now,

Believing in what  has  that useless  one challenged  me, Vali wondered,

Then he said “Brother  , I am coming and I will now itself  ,

Give freedom to your soul  and he rushed  outside

Thara  prevented her husband,she who gave herself in marriage to him,

The only star  which shined  in the sky of his mind,

And in that thara’s eyes there was flow of tears

She was even prepared  to stand upside down to the stop the fighrt,

But  Fate  did not agree  with her

“Do not stop me” he said  , “I will come back with flying colours,

Roared  Vali with blood rushing in to his head,

I will cut my sibling   in to pieces, He hummed

Knowing that her coloured  Mangalya  would be there,

Only if Vali is there, To  see it remain, THara  talked

“ Oh my soul who is my soul of soul,

How can there be  enmity  between the siblings

Even if you wipe it away, would smoke  go away from fire,

If the two  lips refuse  to come together,

They can tell na , tha  but cannot tell pa and ma

If younger and elder  say that  they would not hug,

Then only they have their greatness  which is golden greatness,

But they cannot have greatness  of clan or family

If family and family  fight , will not outsiders enter?

If other one enters will  not the family be destroyed

Apart from that , I came  to know a news  from spies,

And that is why I  have dared  to prevent you  from going

Your brother  , this time  has not come alone ,

For his support  the son of Dasaratha  has come carrying  his great bow.”

Vali denied   the talk of his wife  and told.

“Do not talk nonsense   with your female brain,

Is Rama, the son of Dasaratha  is friend of  my brother?

He is a friend of all beings on earth surrounded  by sea.

He is great hero who can cut of hands as big as Himalayas,

Will he become   friend  with a  insignificant  monkey?

Would this be agreed  by any body with any brain?

Will Dharma  kill Dharma? Or will  truth win over truth?

I know  , who is Rama, He is the perfect  form of honesty

He who has  given up his  crown, which came  because he was elder,

And gave it to his younger brother because   his father  told so.

While coming from home , he has come dressed  in hide  of a tree.

He respects  the relation between elder  and younger brothers,

Will he for helping   a younger brother plant an arrow on my chest?

Dear wife, leave out fear, Be calm for some time,

I will teach  my brother  as to what  humility  is?

If he does  not get controlled  , I will kill him,

And hand over to my servants  to cremate him

Vali  came out like  the rising  of the ocean of milk,

He showed his younger brother  his health and strength

The fence of Dharma    was hiding  behind the tree

There was a fierce  fight between  Vali and Sugreeva,

The wrestling  turned  in to a fight  of the teeth

Then they caught each other, hit  each other,

Bit each other and it continued as  fierce wrestling,

In the battle of scratch and bite  both of them,

Took bath in  the blood, They tore  of the hanging skin  from each other

Unable to  fight with Vali, Panting Sugreeva came and stood before Rama.

“Why did you forsake  me he asked?”

“You both do not have even a  minute difference,

And so I did not understand what to do?

And   so I did not take my bow., Do not worry,

You go wearing a garland   of forest flowers,

My bow will  identify  Vali and kill him.”

Said Sitarama to  Sugreeva  to make him peaceful

With garland  in his neck, Sugreeva,

Went and fought   with Vali ferociously,

He disturbed  his pride, Vali  jumped up,

And hit   at his chest and and lifted him up,

So that he can dash him on earth

Immediately , the lord of Dharma ,

Who was behind a tree  sent an arrow,

It went in side  Vali’s chest  and rested there,

The son of Indra fell on the ground,

He was stained  by  the stream of blood

This arrow  ,

Came from where, who shot it,

And who did this abominable act here”

Wondering like this, Vali took out the arrow by his right hand

When he saw,  name  of Rama in its base,

He wailed   with   a broken heart

The one who came and stood silently before Vali

Along with bow hanging  on his shoulders,

Was Dasaratha’s son,

Vali  sent arrows  of questions,

To him who   dug an arrow  in to him.

“Are  you son of Dasaratha? I am not able to believe,

He gave his life for  protecting his words given by him,

To protect  whose  words , did you  take away  my soul,

You gave  the kingship that belonged to you  to your brother,

Hearing whose word , did you  give my kingship to my brother?

The great man Bharatha, who did not wear the crown given by his mother to him,

Saying it was  an insect causing disease, and kept it aside

To that Bhratha  you are the elder brother,

Are you one born   in the clan of Mandatha?

Are  you born  in the clan of emperor Shibhi

Who sat on the balance, to save a dove?

Are born in the clan of  Bhageeratha  who,

Who begged  the three eyed God, so that he can

Bring  river Ganga so that  his ancestors  will get salvation?

Do you belong to the clan of Raghu? Are that Of Rahu,

Who  hiding behind a bush bit a sleeping  elephant?

Is the world talking of  a person  who hid himself  and shot an arrow,

As   the  starting  spring of Dharma, alas,

My toungue hurts   when I think of calling you like that

Am I an enemy to you, Did  I challenge you for war?

Destroying all aspects your virtue, for you to kill me,

Alas  , what   cruelty  did I commit   to you?

You shot  an arrow, but  lost your Dharma,

Today   honesty  has been crushed

Would any body bother from now on,

To  practice  and protect honesty?

My wife  even before  warned me about you,

She stopped  me and said , “do not go to the war”

I disregarded  her words and because  of that,

I am letting out my  blood like   a river.

Had you told  , one word to me, I would have ,

Got back  and entrusted  your wife  to you,

Just by beating with my tail , I would have  killed  king of Lanka?

Oh Rama  , it is a rule  that those  who are born should die,

But by  killing me  what you earned  is a very bad name.”

To questions of Vali  , Lord rama replied

“Oh Vali , I gave  word  to your brother,

For protecting my word  , I shot  that arrow,

Since I had lost my kingship  and wife   also,

I saw  Sugreeva  within me.,

Sugreeva saw  me  within himself.

And immediately I promised,

Your family, my family,

Your enemy  , my enemy.

I stood by my promise

You harshly punished  your brother,

Who had  not  committed  a crime knowingly,

You made his  partner  of life  as yours.

The  younger  brother’s wife  is your  daughter,

Because  you did  not know it  , you are  suffering your fate,

The greatest sin among sins  is  stealing  wife of another,

This is what I have learnt  and it is my duty,

To take  revenge on those who did that mistake”

At the end of arguments, the one who has come  carrying a bow,

Was the end of Vedas, Understanding this Vali,

The king of monkeys saluted the  charitable one  who gave  country to his brother,

And has given salvation to himself and  cried due to love for him

Later  he consoled   Thara and angadha and his brother  who was standing and crying,

And that  son of Indra  went to heaven,

Lord Kesava  praised him and stood there

Next day with Brahmins blessing, With  auspicious  musical  drums playing

As per  the order  of Rama, Lakshmana  crowned  Sugreeva

And Sugreeva worshipped  the feet of Rama

4.The search started

He who was of the colour of cloud told that the rainy season has started,

And after  it reduces  they can search her, who had  hair like rain,

And the monkey who was  made to sit  on the throne  by Lord Hari ,

Agreed  to it and seconded it

After  constructing a mud hut  on the  mountain   ,

Where  hermitage of Mathanga  was there, the Rama,

Along with his brother continued  his Vana Vasa  there

He sat there thinking of Vaidehi

The goddess of cultivated land  started living  in eloped state,

And she  stood wearing a cotton dress woven by Varuna ,

In the sky weaver

The agricultural  land where  plough of relationship,

 grew  the continous crop of joy, the mind of consort of sita, ,

Then looked like  a desert, she who talked like  milk  was not there beside him,

And his only  job was worrying about her

Like this in the forest  the lord was  restless,

And he  was counting  his days  one by one,

Torrential rain was  falling  day and night,

The rain of tears and rain of water  was wetting him,

The rain of mercy was always  thinking of his rain of love,

And the younger one  consoled  the elder

He lit  the lamp of hope that  once rainy  season is over,

They will  achieve   their   aim

The rainy season got over, the forest water  drained,

They  could differentiate  between day   and night,

The sun painted colours on the surrounding walls,

Made  dirty by the clouds in the sky,

For the earth to wake up he sang good morning  with light

Sugreeva did not come   along with army as agreed to.,,

He who broke the body  of his elder  brother  taking help of Sitarama

Did not give respect for words he had given earlier

Sita’s husband   became very angry saying  that 

Sugreeva went against his word, he   drew a line on earth,

By  the  tip  of  Kodanda

Then he talked  with his brother, He threw   boiling  words

“Brother  , Sugreeva the son of sun god achieved  victory  because of us

Has  killed  his gratitude, He told us  that after  cessation of rain,

He will  come with his army, Though delayed  he has not come,

Taking our courteous  behavior with him lightly   roaming in  pride,

Or after  getting  the throne , has he forgotten everything?

WE are the one’s who gave him the post.,

He is one who has forgotten our help,

Suppose  he forgets  our love  , our arrow will speak,

If he  speaks needless words , our arrow will  speak.

Lakshmana  , you go there  immediately, tell him,

That the sharp arrow which killed Vali   is  in our quiver,

Tell that monkey who is in the  royal cage”

Lakshmana  took to his heart  what his lord said,

Immediately the brother  started  like an elephant in must

The monkey army saying to each other

“angry Lakshmana is coming, if he will  come,

He will churn the entire clan  of monkeys”

And they shut the door  of the fort,

And behind the  closed door  , they heaped lot of stones .

With fear  itself getting scared  of him, holding one bow,

A elephant  with must walked  in the  streets of Kishkinda,

When it walked the dust it raised was  also scared

Lakshmana with force kicked  the locked door  of the fort,

The door broke, seeing it  Angadha  shivered

He  understood the mistake  of his father’s brother

He ran and woke up  Sugreeva who was  lying down,

But Sugrreva slipped  from his hold 

Like  the banana stem   coated  with castor oil

Liquor had   drunk him.It liked him too much,

Sugreeva was lying down keeping bra  of ladies  as  pillow,

He had dressed  himself with some pretty ones lying near him

Seeing the state  of his father’s brother  , Angadha ,

Not knowing  what to do  was greatly   worried ,

And then he ran in search of his mother

Getting the news from Angadha  , Thara  and Hanuman,

Met Lakshmana, after  saluting him, they  stood shivering,

Lifting his  both eye lids   the   junior lord saw  THara

Dressed  in white  in a widow’s  attire,

He saw thara who was like that  because  her consort ,

Was killed by the arrow of Rama,

Thinking that his mother  also would be wearing white cloth like this,

He shed  loads  of tears

Later after  calming his mind  he told Hanuman

“Oh scholar of new  grammar , Have you  also forgotten  Rama’s job?

Why did you  not point out its importance  to  Sugreeva?

Why is there delay  in start  of the job of searching  Sita?

The time frame  which was decided  by you, why is it  getting prolonged?

Based  on  a friendship,  few days back  an agreement was reached,

What is preventing  your Sugreeva   from implementing it?

He should protect his word , otherwise, he should accept my attack,

Even if   many of you come to protect  Sugreeva, they cannot win over my brother,

I do not have  much to talk about it,”

Hanuman understanding  that  Lakshmana  was  in anger  which cannot bristeled,

Answered  with humility

“Oh worshipful   junior lord, How can  we forget  the help  rendered by you and lord Rama?

If we forget  , will we die properly? The messengers  sent by Sugreeva  to  summon,

Our monkey army  which  is situated  in diverse places  have not come back

And so we have  not come over there

Oh Lord  , it is normal for all to err. Unless  you pardon those  errors,

It would be difficult for  us to keep alive,

Our  Lord Sugreeva is slightly not sharp, the god has   created him like that,

Otherwise son of Sun  God is not a cheater, to wash off his hands  as soon as his job is  over

WE were  all born as monkeys  but in showing gratitude  we are like dogs.”

Slowly  pouring  the water of words, Anjaneya to a large extent put  out

The fire  of anger  of Lakshmana

By that time  struggling  and cajoling  Angadha  , made Sugreeva  free ,

From the prison of  stupour and told him the news ,

That  Lakshmana   has  come   with great anger

As soon   as he became normal, the son of sun god   shivered like a tail of lizard

Feeling that  a wrong  act has been done, he bit his lower lip   by the upper

He agreed that  the grammar of friendship  was spoiled  by alcohol.

In anger  he spit  on himself.

Then he immediately sent his brother’s son Angadha to receive  ,

Lord Lakshmana   with all respects due to him

As soon as Lakshmana came he washed  his feet with his tears

He begged  him for a pardon and he went  to meet Rama along with his brother.

Sri rama who  had the habit  of pardoning all except  in born thugs,

Tightly hugged  Sugreeva who praised  his feet and saluted him with folded hands,

The fire  of his postphoning  the job was doused

Again friendship flowered  in both their minds

Next  day  son ofd Sun God  came  with a huge army, Seing that  Rama was greatly surprised

Seventy vallam army fully  stood before  the primeval God,That took Lakshmana 

To the top of surprise.He said

“Oh  brother, this monkey army, is answer to all  our questions.”  “Yes” said his brother

To the east, west  and North  , Sugreeva  sent  very able  warriors and he ordered them that

They should find out  the place of mother  and return within a month.

He chose  Hanuman to go to South and he  said , “definitely he will locate the goddess”

He joined Angadha as well as Jambhavan along with Hanuman and also two vellam of his army  to help them

Then Sugreeva  told them the path as  well as places where  they have to search in detail.He said mountains  like  Vindhya and Hema koota   would come  in their way.He also warned  about Venkata mountain  and podigai  mountain.

5.Signet  ring

Sugreeva then described  about those  two mountains. He told them about their greatness. Oh great valorous ones,Go round the venkata and pOdigai mountains and salute themand bow your head.

Do not go very near them nor stay there  long.

Vengada  mountain is the  place  where  Lord Govinda has a temple,

It s the place where Lord Vishnu  came  and learnt  meaning of Vedas,

The trees there shower the honey pot of flowers to the black god,

And daily worship him,For getting blessings

The wind  as well as the clouds go rolling  round the God there

The illusory  god who took incarnation of fish and took  the incarnation  to worship

And sat in this place

Holding the garland of salagrama, that consort of neela devi,

Opened his  long eyes  and they are  like blue lotus flowers

The Veda Ghana  Mountain, Jnana mountain, the  living mountain  and the seven mountains,

Are there  and the past karma of those  who climb these  mountains will vanish,

Those who see sanctum of the seven mountain God may not see it

Again there is another sanctum that  of  the very pure Padmavathi,

The town where  he husband stays .If you go there ,.

You will get rid of the birth cycle   and attain salvation and so,

Leave  out  that desire for  Rama’s work  is important  to us

Similarly famous is the Podiga  mountain  where  sage Agasthya lives,

There  is the head quarter of  the nectar  like Tamil  sangam

Tamil is an elderly  language,

The first language  which flowerd in the face of the dumb  world

It is   the  garland like language , which was  made   by  Lord Ganesa,

Stitching together  the figures  of speech

In summary  to   the greatly wise people,

The tamil of three parts  will be their third eye

The day time knows ,  the date   when the world was born,

The  ocean knows the date on which the   water rich clouds were  born,

The day when roots were  born below the earth  will be known by  the seed

But who in the world will know when the great tamil language was born

If you enter  Podiga mountains and go, there  pots and pots  of nectar like

Tamil poems  of various types would be poured  in your ears

(poems like  Agaval, Andathi.. etc)

And the sound of the very auspicious tamil  would draw you  towards it

Later  you who were born in the monkey clan  will all turn in to clan of poets

And stand far away. Salute  the divine  Tamil.

After that go to Mahendra mountain and search   for mother,

If you are not able  to find out mother there, you cross  the blue sea   and come with good news

Sugreeva gave a long talk and stopped,Hanuman received all those  words  told by  his king.

Before they departed Rama called  the son of wind god  asked him to come privately,He gave him certain news

“Oh Anjaneya  , my dear friend You  only can make  smile   sit on my lips again.

Only you can bring the light of moon   shine in both my eyes

You are  atlas  of valour , the drawing  board of wisdom, the source  of Dharma,

But in spite of that  you are  pot  that will not spill  its water

Your great  wisdom  is a  sharp  knife.It innate power  would bring victory to your work, There is no doubt  about that in me

But in spite of that,   for you to identify  Sita when you see her, I will tell you certain  identity    and certain secrets , hear them, There is no one who is closer than you to me, hear

My wife Sita  is the model of  great ladies,

She is the literature which roams  around the world

She is the  one who has descended  from the right chest  of Lord Vishnu,

And opened herself  here  as a lotus flower

She is the blessing taken by  his two hands  by King Janaka

All  aspects of culture have  submitted before her

The  weapon she has  is deep rooted  virtue

Her full face  is the moon , which gets down from a boat   and takes rest

The walk of her legs is the walk of books  with literary  beauty

Once they hear   her speech, the makara veena and flute will feel ashamed,

Once they see the light of her  eyes, Gold  thinking  about its own poor luster will feel sad

Which lady  has all these  specialties, she is  my Sita,

You decide  it based  on your mental judgment,

If your mind does not agree , go and see  another lady

If your mind tells that  this is Sita tell her all these  old happenings,

Which I am going to tell you, in a way that she believes  you

Earlier in the town of Mithila, when I was following the sage,

My Maithili  who talks like a baby, stood on the  terrace for virgins,

With her  coloured flower  like eyes  ate me. 

She also saw  , I also saw her and god of love also saw it,

And encouraged  our love

When Sita heard about my  breaking of Shiva’s bow, she took an oath that,

Unless it is the deva who came with the sage in the street,

Who has  broken the big bow, I will not put the garland  on him,

And I will  go to the heavens,

Later  after coming to the hall, when she came  to know,

That it is I  , who has  broken the bow,

That pretty one  smiled like  an opening  of jasmine

While going to forest, she said “I also will come”

I told  her, “If you come  it is sorrow for me”

Then I saw tears  on her coloured eyes,

“After you part with me ,  will things be sweet to you in forest” , she said

And she stood before me like  a burning shadow

When we were crossing Ayodhya and as soon as  we crossed  the boundary wall ,

Just like a child  with a pure white heart she asked  “Where is the forest?”

Later  In Chithrakoota  , one  crow bit  on Sita’s breats and I took  a grass,

And sent it as an arrow and when it fell on my feet and said “I surrender”

I cut of the sight in one of its eyes

“Oh Hanuman tell all this news to my wife and ask for her reply

Take my signet ring, you give it to my ocean of love,

And pour  water of hope in the tired , lotus like heart  of mine.

Then Rama removed his  ring and gave it to him,

And Hanuman touched  his eyes with that and saluted him.

The son of wind god and the monkey army went on searching ,

In the Vindhya mountain, in the long path, in the long banks,

Of Godavari and other rivers with just like sieving  all those places

Unable to see mother  greatly tired they searched  in Anga country

As soon as they reached  Yemakoota mountains  they split  in to two

And they searched goddess  separately

The one half  of monkey army which had Hanuman  And angadha in it

Walked very long distance and stepped in to a desert.

Unable to bear the heat they covered their head with their tails

The throat  of those  who came to do service dried  and their eyes shed tears

Their toungues  came out of their lips

When they were searching for water  seriously, the monkeys drank

Their own sweat  and  quenched their thirst

And at that time they saw a cave and thinking  there may  be ponds inside

With lot of desire , they entered in to it

There was no light nor air to breath,

Due to fear their toungue got  pasted  on upper part of their mouth,

Their toungues cried to talk

Hanuman consoled all of them  and took them in ,

For he was the only one who was  not scared

After walking 12 yojanas  they saw a golden world there

And the saw  its prosperity  in their eyes

There with a long tuft  one pretty lady was doing thapas.

Her  eyes  were full of mercy.

6.Sampathi

All people thought   that she  was mother Sita,

When Hanuman said no, no, they dropped that thought

Hanuman could not compare  her with golden painting ,

By Rama using his word painting for she  was

Like a stone painting and was doing  thapas

And that is why the son of wind God  told that she is not Sita

Hearing sound that lady  opened her eyes  and

Asked they “Who are you all?”

And measured them with her  long eyes

In detail  Hanuman , the boy born to Anjana

And the one  who had long tail and long wisdom ,

explained  to her.

“Due to some circumstance  Rama wearing  a matted tuft,

Came to Dandakaranya wi his   brother and wife

The wife of he who has come was  taken away  by a great asura,

Due to the king of our clan and the king of, clan of sun God,

Shaking hands, we   have come  here  in the job of searching Sita.

Due to our toungues getting dried, we have come come here.

Understanding there  the emissaries of the god 

Who gives disease   for bad fate, she gave them a feast

Hanuman asked  her “who are  you?”

“My  given name is  SWayamprabha,I belong to clan of devas,

This town was got by Maya  due to the boon of Lord Brahma,

And that is  why it has so much beauty

Maya wanted to marry one lady  of the deva’s world.

She also liked him and I got them married,

Without the knowledge  of all the devas,

And I hid them here

Maya’s lover  who was my great friend  ,

Kept me also here  as she did not want to part with ,me,

And with friendliness  I also stayed here

Searching that deva maiden the king of devas came here,

And he found out  ,that I was the reason for everything,

He killed Maya and got greatly   angry with me

“You spend  your rest of life here only for,

You will not be able to see  the way out from here” he cursed me

I begged  him  and he took pity on me

“at that time the monkeys come here  due to blessing of Rama,

Then your troubles will get over, You can reach the sky,

And taking the deva maiden he returned back to heaven

Today due to your coming my curse  got over.

I have to go to deva world but  pitch darkness  is hiding  the light,

I have to go out, only you  have to help me by telling a trick.”

As soon as Swayam prabha finished her story  Hanuman

Grew in to his super  mega form and split  the cave in to two

The monkeys got up to  the earth and Swayam prabha  climbed in to heaven

From then , Hanman, Angadha  and all monkeys  crossing  Thondai naadu,

The very famous Chozha country and Pondy country which was  protecting Tamil  as well as pearls,

And reached  the Mahendra  mountain,

As they were  not able  to see the mother , they were shattered,

The son of Vali told with great  sorrow, “Searching  the mother  ,

After the one month time  given to us is not acceptable to me

What can I tell further, I shiver to return with an empty hand,

I dare not see  my father’s brother.

Better  than that  is for  us to sit here,

And give up  our life  by starvation

When Angadha told like this  , Hanuman replied,

“time delay  is not important to us, Getting success  is important.

Unless we complete it , the treaty   between Rama and  Sugreeva  will be meaningless.

The place  we have searched  is too small and still we have to search  in more areas.

If we wander  day and night and find out mother, We wil live

Or we will fight with the asura and fall down like  the great Jatayu.

Living  without getting victory is waste  of life,  Doing the maximum work,

Getting  defeated   and falling down is fame.”

As soon as the name  of Jatayu was heard, Sampathi who  was daily,

Dying on the  mountain top, with  pity crawled  and came   to the place,

Where Hanuman and others  were there, He sorrowed greatly

Anjaneya  asked  “who are you? And with love  Sampathi said,

“I am jatayu’s elder  brother” and then with great  respect ,

The messenger  of the lord asked him, “Don’t you know   about death of your brother?”

With tears   hiding his Sight  Sampathi told

“Sir, Had I known that, next moment  I too would  have died.

And would have   flown to heaven along with him,
jatayu  is my brother but he  is half of myself” said he

Hanuman consoled him, brought down his wave of sorrow

“Oh great  one born in hawk clan , your younger brother

When the king of Lanka was taking away  the queen of dasaratha Rama,

Tried to stop him.And in  that  war of Dharma , he lost his soul.

Knowing that  the cause  of death of his brother , was service to Rama,

His heart melted down and he   was happy that  his brother has reached,

The impossible to reach heaven

Hanuman asked  him, “ How did you who have lost your brother  has also lost your wings?

The king of hawks   explained.

We are the charioteers  of Lord Sun

Two jasmins buds born to a mother,

I am the  elder  and Jatayu  is the younger

One day both of us spread our wings to see  the land of devas

We stepped in solar  world

Due the intense  heat of the sun, my brother suffered,

And I spread my long wings over  him like  an umbrella

And both my wings burnt   and I fell on the earth

When a great man called  Loka saranga   rubbed  on my body,I got back my life

Seeing my sorry state  the sun god came and stood before me,

The messengers  of the black  Sun , the rama would come and tell his name here,

That day  your wings burnt by heat  would grow again

And so if  you chant the name  of Rama for my sake, my wings will grow, and I will start living

“That name which if sown on the toungue will lead growth of crop of wisdom,

That name , if we meditate upon, the karma which affects you will go away,

That  name  by  learning which  , another  birth will not be there,

That  name iff we mentally chant, the  past earned  Karma   will go away,

That name  , if you chant it once, our generation will become prosperous,

That name  if you chant with faith, our life would  become prosperous

That name  , if we shout with faith, all disease  would fly away,

That name if we  chant, we will get  the  purpose  of this birth

That name which grants thousand comforts  to its devotees

That  name is Rama, the name of the moon of Raghu clan,”

When the lips of monkeys chanted   and chanted,

The wings of the body of sampathi   started growing

All the sorrows  which affected  him  went away

Sampathi who got back the wings due to blessing of gods,

Thanked  the  monkeys and climbed  on the sky,

Before going  he told them some  useful things

7.Viswaroopam

Sita is in prison of Ravana’s Lanka,

Except by crossing a huge sea  there is no method  of reaching  Lanka

The distance  is hundred yojana  ,before you cross  you may have hundred thoughts,

I will tell you an idea

One of you who is very strong, should take  a huge form,

And should  immediately cross  the sea

Jambhava  thought for some time as to who  can,

Achieve what  Sampathi has  adviced and when his inner mind told,

That  Anjaneya is the only one who is suitable to that,

He cast  off his doubts   and Became clear

“Oh Anjaneya  where  is the measure to your Ability,

You are  the key to the fort  of Dharma,

You  are  the huge  stick, which can upturn this entire earth

You are  the balance which can show   the weight  of Vedas,

If you think ,  you can take a form touching  the sky,

And you also can take a very tiny form,

If death reaches  you death itself will die,

And so even death will take   refuge in you,

Your body is blue as if a black cobra has  bit you,

Without  your consent  your soul will not leave you,

You are the deathless  person who has  got boons from Brahma.

To the  boy who has  got your leg , the sea is a small  channel,

And to you who has got a long tail , the sky is only equal  to your tail.

Your  courage  and body which are great are like fire covered by ash,

If we blow air in it and remove the ash, the world will know about you

There  is no comparable or greater or equal to you

You yourself   has not  estimated   about yourself

Oh Dharma, Oh greatness  who does  not its measure,

He who is back of lie, the colour  of blessed deeds,

Take your super  mega form, the sin will get detached and fall  on earth”

Just like   the  bear king Jambavan estimated, was not only an unwritten wonder,

But a balance who can weigh  the people  opposite him,

And show their merits   and demerits and that is why

The lord who carried the bow, became his Dasaratha’s son

And understood him as  Lord Vishnu as soon as he saw him

But the balance that weighs the gold cannot  weigh  itself,

Can another balance   tell  that  to him

And that job    was done by Jambhavan,

He showed  Hanuman to Hanuman himself

The one who knew power of gold and hated gold,

The one who knew power  of female  and denied love of female,

He who  had understood the power  behind these  are the power of five senses

And he did  not bother about them

He lived without knowing and so with that power he  was not proud

The son of wind god who  knew about himself   for the first  time

He thought about who stood on a straight line and carried the bow,

Up to  his divine shoulders

He saluted   the divine flower  of his feet
