Translation

Маркандея сказал: Когда вновь возвратился сын Ваю (Хануман), Рама направился в Нандиграму. Хануман, приметив все деяния Бхараты и возвестив ему радостную весть о скором возвращении Рамы, вернулся; и тогда Рама прибыл в Нандиграму — эпизод, в котором явлены стойкость дхармы, верность служения и нравственная сила правдивого, ободряющего слова.
