जय श्रीराम!
प्रत्यभिज्ञानरत्नं च रामायादर्शयत् कृती ।
हृदयं स्वयमायातं वैदेह्या इव मूर्तिमत् ॥१२.६४॥
Notes: Kālidāsa says," Hanumān, heroic in his mission accomplished, returned to give news of Sītā and showed to Śrīrāma the return-token of remembrance, the crest jewel she had sent, which seemed to be her loving heart itself incarnated! "
All year round, in every corner of the world, children replay the holy story of Rāmāyaṇa, scene after gut-wrenching scene. This episode, when Hanumān returns with the great news of Sītā being still alive and hopeful of being freed by Śrīrāma from Rāvaṇa's captivity, never fails to bring forth a sigh of pathos in the audience as they see Hanumān reverentially handing over the Cūdāmaṇi to his master from the master's beloved, Sītā.
