Then, taking thought within himself, Hanumån (the monkey chief) dropped down
the signet ring, as though the A‹oka tree had thrown a spark (in response to Her prayer).
She sprang up with joy and took it in Her hand. (12)

Now She saw the charming ring with the name of ›r∂ Råma most beautifully
engraved on it. Recognizing the ring She looked at it with wonder and was agitated at
heart with a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow. ì Who can conquer the invincible Lord of
the Raghus and such a (divine) ring cannot be prepared through Måyå ( a conjuring
trick).î As S∂tå thus indulged in fancies of various kinds, Hanumån spoke in honeyed
accents and began to recount ›r∂ Råmacandraís praises. The moment they reached
S∂tåís ears Her grief took flight. She listened with all Her soul and ears while Hanumån
narrated the whole story from the very beginning. ìWherefore does she who has told this
tale, which is like nectar to my ears, not reveal herself?*î Thereupon Hanumån drew
near Her, while S∂tå sat with her back turned towards him, full of amazement. ìI am ›r∂
Råmaís messenger, mother Jånak∂: I solemnly swear by the all-merciful Lord Himself.
* Obviously the orchard in which S∂tå had been confined was open to the fair sex alone. Naturally,
therefore, when She heard an unseen voice utter ›r∂ Råmaís praises, She concluded that it must be some
female.
