चूडामणि-दर्शनम् — Rama Receives Sita’s Token and Questions Hanuman

किमाह सीता हनुमंस्तत्त्वतः कथयाद्य मे।एतेन खलु जीविष्ये भेषजेनातुरो यथा।।।।

naya mām api taṃ deśaṃ yatra dṛṣṭā mama priyā |

na tiṣṭheyaṃ kṣaṇam api pravṛttim upalabhya ca ||

Take me too to that place where you saw my beloved. Once I know where she is, I cannot remain here even for an instant.

"O Hanuman! Tell me now truly what has been told by her. I am eager to know. Indeed, it will keep me alive just as medicne does. (I shall survive on the strength of her message)

R

H

S

L

Dharma is decisive action grounded in truth: once reliable knowledge is gained (satya-pravṛtti), one must act to restore justice and protect the wronged.

Rāma urges immediate movement toward the location where Sītā was seen, showing impatience with delay after receiving credible information.

Determination and readiness for righteous action (kṛtaniścaya).
