Raam took Mani from Hanumaan and touched it with His heart. He said - "I am very touched to see this Mani. My father-in-law got it from Devtaa after pleasing them with his Tapasyaa then Indra gave this Mani to him. And he gave this Mani to Seetaa at the time of our wedding. When She wore it on Her head, it looked more beautiful. Now when I am seeing this Mani, it seems that I am seeing my father and father-in-law. It seems as if I am seeing Seetaa in person.

Hey Hanumaan, What message Seetaa has sent for me, please comfort me telling that. Lakshman, there cannot be a bigger sorrow than this that I am seeing this Mani without Seetaa. If Seetaa will live this month then She will have a long life. I cannot live without Her even for a moment. If Seetaa has said anything else for me, tell me that also, because O Hanumaan, they are like medicine for an ill person like me. Tell me this also that how She is alive in this odd situation?"

Sarg 67 - Hanumaan Delivers Seetaa's Message - 1

Hanumaan said - "Hey Raaghav, Seetaa told the Chitrakoot event. She said -  "I was sleeping near Raam. I got up before Him that suddenly a crow came and hit my breast with his beak. When he hit repeatedly, I started bleeding. I woke up Raam. Raam asked me - "Who wants to play with snakes?" At that time the crow was facing me. He was the son of Indra and took the form of a crow on Prithvi. Raam got angry to see him. He took out a Kush straw from the Aasan and shot it at the crow after doing Abhimantrit. 

The arrow followed him. No Devtaa protected him. So he came back to you for your shelter. Although his crime was punishable as death sentence, but He kindly pricked only his one eye and then that crow flew away praising Raajaa Dashrath and Shree Raam. Then why doesn't He use that kind of weapons to kill Raavan? Why doesn't mighty Lakshman come to my rescue with the permission of His brother. It seems that this is all my ill-fate."

I told Her that Raam and Lakshman are already very sad, but this I can promise that both will come soon and take you from here after destroying Lankaa. When I was coming back Seetaa said crying - "You are lucky you see Raam daily." Hearing this I said to Her - "Hey Janak-Nandinee (Janak's daughter), You sit on my back, I can take you today to Raam and Lakshman." Seetaa said - "I cannot touch anybody else's body because I am a Pativrataa woman. When Raavan brought me here, I was dependent on him. What could I do at that time? Tell me?" Then She blessed me and said - "Tell Raam to come here soon to rescue me."

Seetaa also said - "Hey Hanumaan, if you think proper then you take rest for a day here in some secret place because I will be very sad again after you have left." She also asked me, "How could all Vaanar will cross this huge see? Because only you, Garud and Vaayu can cross this sea." I consoled Her that soon She would see Raam and Lakshman. They will be here to rescue you.
