For Hanuman – 76

“There Rama’s beloved I found,

She of amazing beauty abound.

 

Since so many pious credits by her earned,

With them easily Ravana could be burned.

 

Then with king’s men I fought,

By them to royal court I was brought.

 

Hoped to give me punishment owed,

Instead with burning tail lesson I showed.”

For Hanuman – 74

Hope only for Hanuman through,

Who of Vibhishana’s true nature knew.

 

The Rakshasa form he saw past,

Knew his devotion to Rama steadfast.

 

Though army already of massive size,

Decision to accept by Rama was wise.

 

That wonderful Hanuman you worship well,

Your sincerity to Sita and Rama he’ll tell.

For Hanuman – 73

After being handled mean and rough,

The pious Vibhishana had enough.

 

Arriving from aerial car’s ride,

Ready to join Shri Rama’s side.

 

But with monkeys hesitation there was,

Seemed that brother to do as other brother does.

 

Hanuman knew Ravana in earnest forsaken,

So his opinion by Rama was taken.

For Hanuman – 72

To kill Ravana yourself want did you,

To take matters in my hands prefer I too.

 

Especially when punishment is just,

To teach them a lesson I must.

 

But that you refrained is good to know,

Strength not always necessary to show.

 

Always to look to you as my guide,

As all virtues in you do reside.

For Hanuman – 71

Wanted justice in own hands to take,

Mincemeat of Ravana to make.

 

Servant of the forever glorified,

In such action would be justified.

 

To give way to anger now not sound,

Took all restraint to stand his ground.

 

Time soon for Ravana and fiends to come,

By their own sinful ways to be undone.

For Hanuman – 68

Treatment of Hanuman not the proper way,

Vibhishana lone objection to say.

 

Though of species with visages grim,

All virtues existed in him.

 

On his behavior Hanuman a careful eye kept,

His home bypassed as across Lanka he leapt.

 

Your devotion Hanuman always sees,

Knows if desire you Shri Rama to please.
