samudraṃ laṅghayitvāhaṃ śatayojanam āyatam |
agacchaṃ jānakīṃ sītāṃ mārgamāṇo didṛkṣayā |
After leaping across the ocean, a hundred yojanas wide, I went in search of Janaki Sita, driven by the longing to see her.
Hearing of Sita alive and not harmed, Rama asked the vanaras, 'How is Sita? How is she disposed to me? Tell me everything'.
Selfless service (sevā) in dharma: Hanuman undertakes hardship to fulfill Rama’s righteous purpose and to restore justice.
Hanuman begins his first-person account: he crossed the ocean to search for and see Sita.
Courage and resolve guided by devotion—Hanuman’s strength is directed toward a righteous aim.
