सुन्दरकाण्डे एकत्रिंशः सर्गः — Hanuman’s Sweet Address to Sita and Sita’s Recognition
एवं बहुविधां चिन्तां चिन्तयित्वा महाकपिः।संश्रवे मधुरं वाक्यं वैदेह्या व्याजहार ह।।।।
janasthānavadhaṃ śrutvā hatau ca kharadūṣaṇau |
tatas tvam amarṣāpahṛtā jānakī rāvaṇena tu ||
vañcayitvā vane rāmaṃ mṛgarūpeṇa māyayā |
Hearing of the slaughter at Janasthāna and the fall of Khara and Dūṣaṇa, Rāvaṇa, seized by wrath, abducted you, O Jānakī—after deceiving Rāma in the forest by an illusion in the form of a deer.
After deliberating in several ways the great Hanuman spoke these sweet words to Vaidehi:
Adharma is marked by deceit and rage: Rāvaṇa’s abduction is framed as arising from amarṣa (resentful anger) and accomplished through māyā (deception), opposed to satya and dharma.
Hanumān recounts to Sītā the causal chain leading to her abduction: the Jana-sthāna battle, Rāvaṇa’s anger, the deer-illusion, and the kidnapping.
Hanumān’s fidelity to truth and clarity: he narrates events accurately to build trust and orient Sītā within the larger moral narrative.
