Shloka 5.59.5

हनूमद्वृत्तान्तः—वानरबलप्रशंसा च (Hanuman’s Report and Praise of the Vanara Host)

जाम्बवत्प्रमुखान् सर्वाननुज्ञाप्य महाहरीन्।।5.59.5।।अस्मिन्नेवं गते कार्ये भवतां च निवेदिते।न्याय्यं स्म सह वैदेह्या द्रष्टुं तौ पार्थिवात्मजौ।।5.59.6।।

jāmbavat-pramukhān sarvān anu-jñāpya mahā-harīn ||5.59.5||

asminn evaṃ gate kārye bhavatāṃ ca nivedite |

nyāyyaṃ sma saha vaidehyā draṣṭuṃ tau pārthivātmajau ||5.59.6||

Having taken leave of all the great Vānara heroes led by Jāmbavān, and with this mission thus concluded and duly reported to you, it is indeed proper that the two princes—sons of the king—be seen together with Vaidehī.

J
Jāmbavān
V
Vaidehī (Sītā)
R
Rāma
L
Lakṣmaṇa
V
Vānara heroes

Hanumān frames the next step as a matter of propriety and righteousness: after a mission is completed and truthfully reported (satya-nivedana), it is fitting to reunite the rightful persons—Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa—with Sītā, aligning action with dharma rather than impulse.

The phrase “bhavatāṃ ca nivedite” highlights that the matter has been communicated to the leaders as a truthful report of what occurred; only after honest disclosure does Hanumān propose the ethically appropriate action, showing satya as the basis for right decision-making.
