―to make that impossible, I have come to you. If you will carry out the task to save him, it
will rid me of my worry. It all depend upon your energy and intellect.‖
―That worry will be eradicated father.This Hanumaan considers your wish as the
command of Raam. You become free of worry.I will carry out that task.‖
―Will you stop him proceeding forward and divert him to the correct path?‖
―Absolutely father.‖
―I am departing full faith‖, saying thus Vaaydev became invisible. With that Hanumaan‘s
heart became immersed in ocean waves of bliss. His heart became impatient to meet
Bhim. Separation‘s every moment seemed like eon. He placed his gaze on Bhim‘s path.
His ears were attuned to hear the voice of Bhim. The eyes were thirsty of vision of his
face.
As time proceeded, Hanumaan‘s patience increased. At last the voice of Bhim fell on his
ears, and immediately jhis heart called out: ―Come, come‖, and his face lit up with smile.
And within a moment that smile disappeared. The face became sedate. He made the
sound ―Hum‖ to attract Bhim.
This sound Bhim heard and in response he made a loud roar and moved forward finding
the direction from the sound came, eventually reaching where Hanumaan was. Seeing
Bhim, Hanumaan asked: ―O valorous, how come you look lost?‖
―Who said?‖, Bhim looking in all directions. His sight could find none other than only
Hanumaan.
―Who is it?‖ Whoever it is show yourself‖, said Bhim in a loud voice. His voice
reverberated in the whole forest. Animals and birds became frightened.
―What you? Monkey? And in human language?‖ saying thus Bhim was astonished. His
heart was not willing to believe. But there was nooption not to believe.
―You?‖
―Yes, brother, yes‖, said Hanumaan, ―O Valorous speak a little softly. By your loud voice
innocent animals and birds are so pained.‖
―Pained, are they?‖ questioned Bhim
―Yes, strong one. Yes, and that is why I had to say it. The valorous do not cause fright to
the innocent, that is what I have heard – is that untrue?‖
―Yes, brother, yes I am asking you that.‖
With great humbleness, hanumaan said softly, ―The brave are adorned with compassion,
would that be incorrect? Is the greatness of the brave achieved by harrassing the
innocent?‖
―Do you really want to know that?‖
―To know that I am asking. By your behaviour, the innocent are frightened. The poor
deer are shaken. The lion and tigers have hid themselves in caves.The birds singing
naturally are disturbed in their nests. Why all this?‖
―Who are you to ask?‖ said Bhim, observing the sight of the lifelong commanding leader.
Hanumaan did not respond. He just remained silent.
―O monkey?‖ shouted bhim
Hanumaan remained silent.
