Sugriv said: ―Brother Hanumaan, you know I have eight hundred wives. Even so I had a
wish to obtain the Plavangam king‘s daughter Chilimpaa. But my request was denounced
by that proud Chilimpaa. I now do not have any desire for her.. I believe she will be
pleased with your valour. From here in the southern direction is Kichchat country. King
Plavangam passed away recently. You can marry his daughter Chilimpaa and enjoy with
pleasure the kingdom. Mother Sitaa will be very pleased.‖
What to do now? Listening to the experiences of Chancharik and Lomash-muni, marriage
was akin to diving to death into a dark well. But then Sugriv had a different opinion.
Despite living among eight hundred wives he had no bitter experience. So it is better to
visit the Kichchat kingdom. Having thought thus, he departed.
Hanumaanji arrrived in Kichchat kingdom. The guards to the city alerted the princess
there was a huge monkey in the gardens. His form reveals a great valiant.being.
―No worries‖, said the princess, ―Many such valiant beings have come to this kingdom.
Ask him to come here.‖
The guards came to Hanumaan and said: ―Our Pricess has requested you to meet her.
Hanumaanji came in an ordinary form to Chilimpaa. Observing the form of Chilimpaa,
Hanumaanji began to wonder – the girl‘s outer appearance has no faults, but what is her
character like? That must be discovered, whereupon Chilimpaa said: ―O brave one, who
are you? And why have you entered my kingdom without permission? What is it that you
wish?‖
Hanumaanji said: ―Princess, I am the servant of Sri Raam. By the command of my
Mother, I have come in search of a bride. I wish to marry you and take you to Ayodhyaa.
Getting there you can serve Mother Sitaaji, and I will serve Lord raam.‖
Hearing Hanumaanji, all the friends of pricess laughed. Chilimpaa said: ―Hanumaan, I do
not desire a servant like you, and I have no wish toserve anyone either. Only some time
ago King Sugriv‘s servants came to me, but I only have partial liking for him. You go
and continue to serve Sitaa and Raam. And if happen to pass Kishkindhaa city on the
way, pass a message to to sugriv to meet me. If I see it fit, I will marry him.‖
Mahaavirji made his decision that moment. Making his form huge like a mountain, he
lifted Chilimpaa in his fist and saying ―Jay Raghuvir‖ he departed by the sky route.
Chilimpaa was screaming, but Mahaavirji had no time to listen to any of it. By the sky
route, he arrived to kishkindhaa. It was mid-day. Sugriv was bathing in a big lake
accompanied by his eight hundred wives. Mahaavirji arriving on the lake opened his fist.
From the open fist, Chilimpaa came swerving down to land on Sugriv‘s shoulder.
Mahaavirji breathed a sigh of relief. And he woke up from his dream. Waking up, he
uttered ―Jay Siyaa-Raam‖
