Shabari ke moksh ke baad, Ram aur Lakshman chamakti Pampa jheel pahunche, jahaan van apne sabse sundar roop mein tha. Jab ve jal ke kinaare vishraam kar rahe the, to Brahman ke vesh mein ek vaanar unke paas aaya. Vah parishkrit Sanskrit mein bola aur apna parichay Hanuman ke roop mein diya, jo Rishyamook parvat par rehne wale nirvaasit vaanarraaj Sugreev ke mantri the. Hanuman ko yah jaanne ke liye bheja gaya tha ki ye do tejasvi rajkumar kaun hain. Ram Hanuman ki buddhi aur shishtachaar se prasann hue, aur unhone unhe apni poori katha sunaayi. Hanuman ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye, kyonki unhone Ram mein un divya Prabhu ko pehchaan liya tha jinki seva ki vah kaamna karte the. Vah bhaiyon ko apne kandhon par Rishyamook parvat le gaye, jahaan Ram aur Sugreev ne agni ke saamne mitrata ka pavitra bandhan baandha. Pratyek ke paas vah tha jiski doosre ko aavashyakta thi. Sugreev ko uske bade bhai Bali ne rajya se nikaal diya tha, aur Ram ne use rajya wapas dilaane mein sahaayta ka vachan diya. Badle mein Sugreev ne apni vishaal vaanar sena se Sita ko khojne mein Ram ki sahaayta ka vachan diya. Ram ne pehle apna vachan nibhaaya. Unhone ped ke peechhe se ek hi baan se Bali ka vadh kiya, aur Sugreev Kishkindha ke raja bane. Lekin raja bante hi Sugreev apna vachan bhool gaye. Vah mahal ke sukhon mein doob gaye aur maheenon ko phisalne diya, jabki Ram Malyavaan parvat par vyatha mein prateeksha karte rahe. Ant mein Lakshman Kishkindha mein dhamke aur Sugreev ko lajjit karke kaarya ke liye prerit kiya. Vaanarraaj ne sabhi dishaon mein khoji dal bheje, unhe Sita ko khojne ke liye ek maas ka samay diya. Angad rajkumar ke netritva aur buddhimaan boodhe bhaalu Jambavaan ke maargdarshan wala dakshini dal, jismein Hanuman bhi the. Unhone van, parvat aur gufaayein bina safalta ke khojeen, jab tak ve mahaasaagar ke dakshini tat par nahin pahunche. Wahaan unki bhent Sampati se hui, jo kuleen Jatayu ke gridh bhai the, jinhone unhe bataaya ki unhone Ravan ko Sita ko samudra paar karke sau yojan door Lanka dweep le jaate dekha tha. Vaanar ant mein samachar paakar ati prasann hue, lekin unki khushi niraasha mein badal gayi. Sau yojan samudra ko kaun laangh sakta tha? Ek-ek karke paraakrami vaanaron ne apni seemaayein sveekaar keen. Angad ne kaha ki vah wahaan tak kood sakte hain lekin lautne mein sandeh hai. Shesh ne maun mein sir jhuka diye. Tab buddhimaan Jambavaan shaant baithe Hanuman ki or mude. Jambavaan ne Hanuman ko unki bhooli hui mahima ki yaad dilaayi. Unhone bataaya ki bachpan mein Hanuman Soorya ko paka phal samajhkar uski or koode the, aur devtaon ne unhe aseem shakti ka aashirvaad diya tha. Unhone bataaya ki ek shaap ne unhe apni shaktiyaan bhula di thin jab tak koi unhe yaad na dilaaye. Ye shabd sunkar Hanuman ko sab kuchh yaad aa gaya. Unki aankhon mein agni jali, aur unka shareer badhne laga. Vah oonche aur oonche badhte gaye, jab tak parvat ki tarah vishaal na ho gaye, unki poonchh phatkaarti hui, unki aawaaz garajti hui. Unhe devtaon ke vardaan yaad aaye, aur vah shakti yaad aayi jisne ek baar Indra ke vajr ko bhi unki thodi par nishprabhaavi gira diya tha. Jab unhone apne angon ko parkha to unke pairon ke neeche dharti kaanpi, aage ki udaan ke liye utsuk. Vaanar harshit hue, kyonki ve jaante the ki ab samudra paar hoga. Hanuman samudra ke saamne wale mahaan shikhar Mahendra parvat par chadhe. Unhone Soorya, Ram aur devtaon ko pranaam kiya, aur phir kood pade. Unki paraakrami chhalaang unhe doosre Soorya ki tarah aakaash mein le gayi. Samudra unke saahas par aashcharyachakit hua. Samudra dev ne lehron se Mainak parvat uthaakar unhe vishraam dene ki peshkash ki, lekin Hanuman ne kritagyata se use chhua aur bina ruke udte rahe. Rakshasi Sursa unki pareeksha ke liye uthi, maang karte hue ki vah uske munh mein pravesh karein. Hanuman vishaal hue, phir angoothe ke aakaar ke sikud gaye, uske munh se hokar nikle aur baahar aa gaye, pakde bina uski maang ka sammaan kiya. Phir chhaaya pakadne wali Sinhika ne neeche se unki chhaaya pakadkar unhe neeche kheencha, lekin Hanuman uske jabadon mein gota lagaakar use bheetar se cheer daala. Ant mein apni bhayankar udaan ke baad Hanuman ne kshitij par chamakta swarn Lanka dweep dekha. Vah billi ke aakaar ke sikud gaye aur sandhya samay uske tat par mriduta se utre. Unke saamne Ravan ka paraakrami durg utha tha, aur uske bheetar kaheen Sita dukh mein prateeksha kar rahi thin. Hanuman ne asambhav samudra paar kar liya tha, aur unki seva ka mahaanatam adhyaay shuru hone wala tha. Kuchh apne shareer se koodte hain, lekin Hanuman apne hriday se koode, aur iseeliye samudra swayam unke saamne jhuk gaya.
