Raghupati in his infinite tenderness greeted them all with much affection and asked of their welfare. “All is well with us, my lord, now that we have seen Your lotus feet.”
Said Jamavant: “Hearken, Raghuraya; anyone, my lord, on whom you show favour will always be prosperous for ever; gods, men and saints will be gracious to Him; though victorious he will still remain modest and amiable, and his glory will irradiate all the three spheres of creation. By my Lord’s favour the task has been accomplished, and to-day we may well say that our life has been worth living. My lord, to tell the whole of Hanuman’s doings would be too much for a thousand tongues.” Jamavant then proceeded to inform Rama of Hanuman’s principal exploits. The All-merciful was charmed by the recital and again in his joy clasped Hanuman to His bosom. “Tell me, son, how Janaki is, and how she keeps life in her body.”
