When this lord of rākṣasas is slain—along with his sons, ministers, and kinsmen—you will be reunited with Rāma, as Rohiṇī is reunited with the Moon.
"When Ravana is slain, with his sons, ministers and kith and kin, you will reunite withRama as Rohini unites with the Moon.
Dharma culminates in restoration: the wrongful ruler falls, and rightful relationships—grounded in fidelity and truth—are re-established.
Hanumān foretells Sītā’s reunion with Rāma after Rāvaṇa’s defeat, using a celestial simile to strengthen her confidence.
Faithfulness and rightful love—Sītā’s unwavering constancy is honored by the promised reunion under dharma.
