Sundara Kaanda Sarga 15
Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 15
In this Sarga, perched on the Ṡiṃṡupa tree, Hanumān scans the entire beautiful Aṡōka Vana. He then sees a worn-out woman surrounded by Rākshasis, like a fawn separated from her kind and hemmed in by a pack of hounds.
Hanumān, based on the resemblance of her yellow garment to the upper garment that had been dropped on the mountain, and the match of her ornaments to Rāma’s description of the same, and based on her plight, concludes that she must be Seetā.
His heart is wrenched at the plight of Seetā and goes in for praises for Rāma, who could manage to live even after losing a dear, beloved and faithful wife like her.

The sun of Vāyu scanned that Vana
which was dazzling like Nandana Vana,
beautiful with the Santānaka creepers,
filled with divine smells and tastes everywhere,
crowded with birds and beasts,
packed with mansions and palaces
that were dotted with many couches,
spread with carpets and containing
many underground cellars,
resounding with the cooing of Kōkilas,
enchanting with step wells covered
with golden lilies and lotuses,
beautiful with trees that bore
flower and fruits in all seasons,
luxurious with Aṡōka trees
that were in bloom, shining like the rising sun,
with boughs denuded of their leaves
by the hundreds of birds that alighted
(and took off) from them without a break,
with Aṡōka trees that banish sorrow
covered by flowers from the
crowns all the way down to their bases,
with Karṇikāra trees that seemed
to stoop to touch the ground
under the weight of their flowers
and with Kiṃṡuka trees that were in full bloom.

It had a thousand pillars

The bull among Vānaras saw, not too far from there,
in the middle of that Aṡōka Vana,
a tall mansion that was like a second Gandhamādana,
effusing sweet scents like the king of the mountains
and white, like Kailāsa.
It had a thousand pillars
and its steps were studded with corals
and its platforms were made of gold purified in fire.
Clean and dazzling in its splendor,
it seemed to steal the eyes of the beholder.
It was so tall that it seemed to rub against the sky.

Then he saw a woman in a pitiful state
sighing repeatedly, surrounded by Rākshasis
wrapped in an unclean piece of cloth
and worn out by fasting,
albeit looking serene, like the digit of the moon
at the beginning of the waxing fortnight.
