(›iva) was overcome with emotion as He called to mind Hanumånís enviable lot.* But,
recovering Himself, ›iva resumed the most charming narrative. The Lord lifted up
Hanumån and clasped him to His bosom; then He took him by the hand and seated him
very close to Him. ìTell me, Hanumån, how could you burn Råvaƒaís stronghold of
La∆kå, a most impregnable fortress?î When Hanumån found the Lord so pleased, he
replied in words altogether free from pride. ìA monkeyís greatest valour lies in his
skipping about from one bough to another. That I should have been able to leap across
the ocean, burn the gold city, kill the demon host and lay waste the A‹oka grove was
all due to Your might; no credit, my lord, is due to me for the same.î (1ó5)

ìNothing is unattainable, my lord, to him who enjoys Your grace. Through Your
might a mere shred of cotton can surely burn a submarine fire (the impossible can be
made possible).î (33)

ìTherefore, be pleased, my lord, to grant me unceasing Devotion, which is a
source of supreme bliss.î When the Lord, O Pårvat∂, heard the most artless speech of
Hanumån He said, ìBe it so !î Umå , he who has come to know the true nature of Råma
can have no relish for anything other than His worship. Even he who takes this dialogue
(between ›r∂ Råma and Hanumån) to heart is blessed with devotion to ›r∂ Råmaís feet.
On hearing the words of the Lord the whole host of monkeys cried, ìGlory, glory, all glory
* It should be remembered in this connection that Lord ›iva Himself had taken the form of Hanumån.
It was, therefore, easy for Him to recall that thrilling experience.
