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

Transliteration

rāmakīrtyā sama putra jīvitaṁ te bhaviṣyati | mahāsaubhāgyavatī sītā te bhī hanūmānūjīko yaha vara dadā—(putra! yāvat asyāṁ dharātale bhagavān śrīrāmasya kīrtir bhaviṣyati, tāvat tava jīvitaṁ sthiraṁ bhaviṣyati || 44* || divyās tvām upabhogāś ca matprasādakṛtāḥ sadā

Translation

Маркандейя сказал: «О сын, твоя жизнь будет длиться соразмерно славе Рамы. Пока на этой земле пребывает величие Господа Шри Рамы, до тех пор твоя жизнь будет надёжной и неколебимой». Так Сита — прославленная великим благим уделом — даровала Хануману это благословение. (И далее:) «Да сопутствуют тебе вовеки божественные услады и милости, дарованные моим благоволением».

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse links longevity and protection to alignment with dharma and devotion: Hanumān’s life is secured as long as Rāma’s righteous fame endures on earth, implying that service to virtue and the divine leaves an enduring, protective moral legacy.

What is happening in the narrative?

Mārkaṇḍeya recounts a Ramāyaṇa-related episode within the Mahābhārata: Sītā grants Hanumān a boon that his life will remain stable for as long as Rāma’s glory persists in the world, and she adds the promise of continual divine enjoyments bestowed by her grace.
