सप्तपञ्चाशः सर्गः — Hanumān’s Return, Roar of Success, and the Announcement “Sītā Seen”
निशम्य नदतो नादं वानरास्ते समन्ततः।।।।बभूवुरुत्सुकास्सर्वे सुहृद्धर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः।
niśamya nadato nādaṃ vānarās te samantataḥ |
babhūvur utsukāḥ sarve suhṛd-darśana-kāṅkṣiṇaḥ ||
Hearing that resounding cry, the vānaras all around grew eager, longing to behold their friend.
On hearing the loud voice of Hanuman, all the vanaras were longing to see their friend.
Dharma is loyalty to righteous allies: their longing to see Hanumān reflects trust and solidarity in a truth-centered mission.
The troop recognizes Hanumān’s voice and becomes excited to meet him and learn the outcome of his journey.
Maitrī (friendship): the vānaras’ eagerness shows affectionate, duty-bound companionship.
