―Nothig else, just that when you feel a yawn I have my duty to snap my fingers. But
while I am standing out, if you have to yawn, then how would I know to snap my
fingers?‖
―My word, he is unusual,‖ said Sitaaji in her mind.
Thereupon Bhagwaann said, ― Maaruti, do not worry about that. Until you snap your
fingers, I will not yawn. Just when you snap your fingers only then will I yawn. You can
now go without any worry.‖
Hanumaanji kneeling his head went outside the room.
The room where Bhagwaan Raam was sitting was surrounded on three sides by garden.
In that garden, Hanumaan roamed around. But he did not feel at ease. Every moment felt
like an eon rto him. When would the conversation of Bhagwaan and Mother end? Every
few moments he would stare at the doorway to the room, but the discussion of Raam and
Sitaa was not ending.
Reminiscences of the twelve years of residence in the forest together with the scenes of
the battle of Raam – Raavan began to spring up in their dialogue. Amongst them, they
forgot about Hanumaan.
Here son of Anjani was was getting impatient. Every moment was painful to him. But
what could he do? Without Bhagwaan‘s calling how could he go in?
At last he took refuge in the name chanting of Raam‘s name. Sitting in one corner of the
garden, he took the lotus position. He chanted the dhun ―Raajaa Raam Raam Raam, Sitaa
Raam Raam Raam‖. The dhun in a few moments created a miracle. Instead of the pain in
his heart, it was replaced by bliss. And unconsciously in the rythem of the dhun chant
Maruti snapped his fingers.
But now the fun started. Just as Hanumaan started to snap his fingers, Raam started to
yawn repeatedly and suddenly the conversation was disrupted. Sitaaji was alerted.
―O what is this? Why this?‖ she said, but the Lord could not shut his mouth from the
yawns to respond. He now rapidly began to yawn in succession. Because engaged deeply
in Raam dhun, Hanumaanji began to snap both hand fingers.
Observing this state of the Lord, the great queen was frightened. He she immediately sent
message to Kaushalyaa. ―Raam‘s health has deteriorated‖ Hearing these words,
Kaushalyaa came hastily. And taking great strides, Laxmanji also came. In a moment the
news spread in the whole palace. And Bharat, Shatrughna, Sumitraa, Kaikai, servants and
maids all gathered. Maharshi Vashishtha was also called. Foolowing them, eminent
medical personnel also assembled.
Someone said ―O the Lord is suffering from wind trap, so treat him for that.‖
Someone else said ―O, the heat has gone to his head otherwise this would not happen.‖
Another said ―O this yawning is result of sickness of the stomach, so treat him for that.‖
The medical main tested the hand pulse and declared it was fine.
The astrologers counting their fingers declared the Lord‘s horoscope was fine. Just as
they were finishing the sentence, the Lord went into an overdrive with his yawns and he
was very distressed and he fell back on the pillows of the seat.
Mother Kaushalyaa immediately sat next to the Lord and passing her hands on his head
said ― My beloved, my beloved‖. And Laxmanji began to press the Lord‘s feet with his
hands. Bharatji began to fan him. Sitaaji was confused and upset. Vashishtha rushi was
stilled.
