Ayant ainsi parlé, la dame aux belles hanches, profondément tourmentée, me remit ce joyau merveilleux et sans pareil, et me transmit son message par ses paroles.
"Having said so, the noble lady delivered a wonderful jewel with supreme message to me in a sorrowful mood.

Sītā, though anguished, hands over the jewel and entrusts Hanumān with her formal message to Rāma.
Endurance and responsibility: Sītā remains committed to righteous communication despite intense distress.
