50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चत्रिंशः सर्गः ॥५-२॥ तां तु रामकथां श्रुत्वा वैदेही वानरर्षभात्। उवाच वचनं सान्त्वमिदं मधुरया गिरा॥ १॥
In the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundara Kāṇḍa, the thirty-fifth canto. Having heard that story of Rāma from the foremost of monkeys, Vaidehī spoke these conciliatory words in a sweet voice:
क्व ते रामेण संसर्गः कथं जानासि लक्ष्मणम्। वानराणां नराणां च कथमासीत् समागमः॥ २॥
“Where was your association with Rāma, and how do you know Lakṣmaṇa? How did the meeting of monkeys and men take place?
यानि रामस्य चिह्नानि लक्ष्मणस्य च वानर। तानि भूयः समाचक्ष्व न मां शोकः समाविशेत्॥ ३॥
“Tell me again those distinguishing signs of Rāma and of Lakṣmaṇa, O monkey, so that grief may not enter me.
कीदृशं तस्य संस्थानं रूपं तस्य च कीदृशम्। कथमूरू कथं बाहू लक्ष्मणस्य च शंस मे॥ ४॥
“What is his bodily build, and what is his appearance? How are his thighs, and how are his arms? Tell me about Lakṣmaṇa too.”
एवमुक्तस्तु वैदेह्या हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः। ततो रामं यथातत्त्वमाख्यातुमुपचक्रमे॥ ५॥
Thus addressed by Vaidehi, Hanuman, the son of the Wind-god, then began to describe Rama accurately.
