सीताहनूमद्भाषणम् — Sita Tests the Messenger; Hanuman Offers Reassurance
तया समागते तस्मिन्प्रीतिरुत्पादिताऽद्भुता।परस्परेण चालापं विश्वस्तौ तौ प्रचक्रतुः।।।।
tayā samāgate tasmin prītir utpāditā ’dbhutā | paraspareṇa cālāpaṃ viśvastau tau pracakratuḥ ||
When he had thus met with her, a wondrous joy arose. Trusting one another, the two began to speak together in mutual confidence.
Hanuman thus created a sense of wonderful joy in her as they came together. Both of them started to converse restoring confidence in each other.
Dharma here is expressed as restoring right confidence through truthful, respectful communication—trust becomes possible when intentions are aligned with truth and protection of the innocent.
After initial contact in Laṅkā, Sītā and Hanumān begin speaking more openly as fear eases and mutual confidence grows.
Hanumān’s reliability and Sītā’s discerning caution transitioning into trust—both grounded in commitment to truth (satya).
