Shloka 5.15.54
अशोकवनिकायां सीतादर्शनम् (Sita Seen in the Ashoka Grove)
दुष्करं कुरुते रामो य इमां मत्तकाशिनीम्।सीतां विना महाबाहुर्मुहूर्तमपि जीवति।।।।
evaṁ sītāṁ tadā dṛṣṭvā hṛṣṭaḥ pavanasambhavaḥ |
jagāma manasā rāmaṁ praśaśaṁsa ca taṁ prabhum ||
Seeing Sītā thus, the Wind-god’s son rejoiced; in his mind he went at once to Rāma and praised that Lord.
"Rama, the strong-armed hero has accomplished a difficult task by surviving even for a moment without this Sita who has intoxicating lustre".
Dharma is service with loyalty: Hanumān’s joy is directed into responsibility—he immediately turns his mind to Rāma, honoring his lord and the truth of his mission.
This is the moment of success in discovery: Hanumān has seen Sītā in the Aśoka grove and feels inward triumph, mentally reporting to Rāma.
Hanumān’s devotion and disciplined focus—his happiness does not distract him from duty; it strengthens his resolve to serve Rāma.
