रामकीर्त्या सम॑ पुत्र जीवितं ते भविष्यति । महासौभाग्यवती सीताने भी हनुमानूजीको यह वर दिया--(पुत्र! जबतक इस धरातलपर भगवान् श्रीरामकी कीर्ति बनी रहेगी, तबतक तुम्हारा जीवन स्थिर रहेगा ।। ४४ *॥ दिव्यास्त्वामुपभोगाश्च मत्प्रसादकृता: सदा

Dijo Mārkaṇḍeya: «Oh hijo, tu vida perdurará en la medida de la fama de Rāma. Mientras la gloria del Señor Śrī Rāma permanezca sobre esta tierra, así permanecerá tu vida, segura y firme». Así, Sītā—célebre por su gran fortuna auspiciosa—otorgó este don a Hanumān. (Y añadió:) «Que los goces y bendiciones divinos, concedidos por mi favor, te acompañen siempre».
