monkey revealed His natural form, colossal as a mountain of gold, terrible in battle,
possessing great might and full of valour. S∂tå now took comfort in Her heart and the son

through the Lordís might, the most tiny snake might swallow GaruŒa (the king of birds
and the mount of Bhagavån Viƒu).î (16)

ìS∂tå felt gratified at heart even as She heard the monkeyís words full of devotion
and revealing ›r∂ Råmaís majesty, glory and strength. Recognizing him as the beloved
of ›r∂ Råma She gave him Her blessing: ìMay you become a repository of strength and
virtue, dear child. May you ever remain immune from old age and death and prove to be
a storehouse of good qualities, my son; and may the Lord of the Raghus shower His
abundant grace on you.î The moment the words ìMay the Lord be gracious to youî
reached his ears Hanumån was utterly overwhelmed with emotion. Again and again the
monkey bowed his head at Her feet and with joined palms addressed Her thus: ìI have
now accomplished all that I had to accomplish, my mother; for your blessing, everyone
knows, is unfailing. Listen, mother: I am feeling frightfully hungry at the sight of these
trees laden with delicious fruits.î ìI tell you, my son, this grove is guarded by most valiant
and mighty demons.î ìMother, I am not at all afraid of them, only if I have your hearty
approval.î (1ó5)
