Wika ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “O anak, mananatili ang iyong buhay ayon sa kasikatan ni Rāma. Hangga’t nananatili sa daigdig na ito ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoong Śrī Rāma, gayon din katatag at katiwasay ang iyong buhay.” Sa gayon, si Sītā—na bantog sa dakilang pagpapala—ay nagkaloob ng biyayang ito kay Hanumān. (At idinugtong pa:) “Nawa’y ang mga makalangit na kagalakan at pagpapala, na iginawad sa bisa ng aking biyaya, ay laging sumaiyo.”

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.
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.
