अभिज्ञानप्रदानम् — The Token of Recognition (Chūḍāmaṇi) and the Crow Episode Recalled
इच्छामि त्वां समानेतुमद्यैव रघुबन्धुना।गुरुस्नेहेन भक्त्या च नान्यथैतदुदाहृतम्।।5.38.9।।
maṇi-varam upagṛhya taṃ mahārhaṃ janaka-nṛpātmajayā dhṛtaṃ prabhāvāt |
girir iva pavanāvadhūta-muktaḥ sukhita-manāḥ pratisaṅkramaṃ prapede ||5.38.73||
Having taken that precious, radiant jewel once worn by Janaka’s daughter, Hanuman—his mind made glad—set out to depart, like a mountain loosed after being struck and shaken by the wind.
"I offered to take you today itself out of my love and devotion to Rama with a desire to unite you with him and not with any other intention.
Dharma as timely completion of entrusted work: having secured proof for truth, Hanuman moves to fulfill his obligation by returning without delay.
The sarga closes with Hanuman readying himself to leave Ashoka grove and carry Sita’s token and message back to Rama.
Reliability and resolve: joy does not distract him from the duty of return.
