At this sight Hanumån was over-joyed; every hair on his body stood erect and his
eyes rained copiously. He felt gratified at heart in everyway and addressed Bharata in
words that were as nectar to his ears: ìHe, in whose absence you sorrow day and night,
the catalogue of whose virtues you are incessantly recounting the glory of Raghuís line,
the delight of the virtuous and the deliverer of gods and sages, has safely arrived. Having
conquered His foe in battle, with the gods to hymn His praises, the Lord is now on His
way with S∂tå and Lakmaƒa.î The moment Bharata heard these words he forgot all his
woes, like a thirsty man who has secured nectar. ìWho are you, my beloved friend, and

of mercy: I am the son of the wind-god, a monkey; Hanumån is my name. I am a humble
servant of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), the befriender of the meek.î Hearing this,
Bharata rose and reverently embraced him. The affection with which he embraced him
was too great for his heart to contain; his eyes streamed with tears and every hair on
his body stood erect. ìAt your very sight, O Hanumån, all my woes have disappeared.

happy news)? I have pondered and found that there is nothing in this world to match the
news you have brought. I am thus unable to repay my debt to you. Now, pray, recount
to me the doings of my lord.î Then Hanumån bowed his head at Bharataís feet and
