A smile was plastered on the face of Amarsri, such a smile that pleased Srinav's heart.

"Aapki iss muskaan ka karan priye ?" He asked.

"Aisa abhaas ho raha hai ki Hari aur Har ka milan shigreh hone wala hai." Amarsri said.

"Hoga kaise nahi devi. Sugreev ke mantriyon mei sabse varisht vanar Hanuman, Mahadev ke Rudra-avataar jo thehere." Srinav said with a smile.

Shri Ram and Lakshman finally reached the Pampa sarovar which as told by Shabri was filled with lotuses. The surroundings around the lake were truly blessed with nature.

But it mad Shri Ram emotional, everything was reminding her of his dear wife, Devi Sita, especially the lotuses blooming in the lake.

"Lakshman, yeh Kamal toh aise khile hai jaise Sita ka mukh khilta tha prasannata ke karan. Yeh pushp mujhe uski muskaan ki yaad dilati hai. Pata nahi meri Sitey kaha hogi aur kis haal mei hogi." Shri Ram said sadly.

"Dheeraj rakhe bhaiya. Hum Pampasarovar me dakshin tat tak pahuch gaye hai. Bas ab Rishyamukh parvat ki shikhar tak jaane wala maarg dhundhna hai." Lakshman said.

Both the warrior brothers were spotted by Vanar spies, who were quick to run to Sugreev and inform him about them.

"Maharaj Sugreev, 2 veer dikhne waale purush Rishyamukh parvat par aane ka maarg khoj rahe hai." The first spy said.

"Kya ? Yaha aa rahe hai ?" Sugreev got worried.

"Ha Maharaj, kintu woh iss pradesh ke nahi lagte." The second spy said.

"Toh kaise dikhte hai ?" Sugreev asked.

"Yu toh dono tapasvi ke vesh mei hai, parantu haath mei bade-bade dhanush aur pith par bhayavaye teero se bhari tunir leke ghum rahe hai." The first spy said.

"Unka lamba kad hai, aur bhujaye toh gada ki bhaati hai. Mujh par asadharan sa tej hai. Aur woh dono aapko dhundh baat kar rahe the, Maharaj." The second spy said.

"Aisa toh nahi ki unhe Vali ne bheja ho ? Mera vadh karne hetu ?" Sugreev guessed.

"Ho sakta hai, Vali ne pehle bhi aise log bheje hai." The eldest among them, Jambuvant said.

"Awashya Vali ne hi bheja hoga. Anyatha 2 shashtra-dhaari purush iss maarg par kyu aayenge ?" Nal, the son of Vishwakarma said.

"Hume satark ho jana chahiye Maharaj. Kyuki unke varnan se, dono purush atyant parakrami pratit hote hai." Neel, the younger brother of Nal, said.

Among them the fourth minister, by the name was Vayuputra Hanuman was also seated but remained silent. He was also the only one who wasn't panicked. But after they were jumping on conclusions, Hanuman decided to speak.

"Iss vyakulta ka tyaag kare Sugreev. Hume yaha Vali ka bhaye nahi. Raja hone ke naate, aapko bina soche samjhe kisi nishkarsh par nahi pahucha chahiye." Hanuman said.

"Kya tumne unka varnan nahi suna hanuman ? Aise purusho se bhaye kaise na lage ? Vali jaanta hai ki woh yaha nahi aa sakta iss liye usne apne mitra yaha bheje honge. Kintu ha tum satya kehte ho, bina pata lagaye ki unn dono Purusho ka udeshya kya hai, hum kisi nishkarsh par nahi pahuchna chahiye." Sugreev said.

They had to find out about the 2 warriors that were heading their way. Doing anything without knowledge of truth will be reckless.

"Hanuman, kripiya jaake pata lagao ki woh dono Purush kaun hai. Pehle unki prasansha karna, jisse unhe tum par vishwaas ho. Fir pata lagana ki woh dono kaha se aaye hai aur kis prayojan se aaye hai. Unke haav-bhaav ko parakhna aur unke udeshya ka pata laga lena." Sugreev said.

Hanuman joined his hand before his king and went outside. He disguised himself as a sage and went to meet the brave looking princes.

Shri Ram and Lakshman looked at the 'sage' who came with a radiant smile and greeted them.

"Pranaam. Kya aap dono kisi Rajya ke purohit hai ya Devtao ke avatar ? Yaha kyu aaye hai ? Aapke aagman ne toh Pampa sarovar ka saundarya badh gaya hai. Aapka swarniya tej aur sahas yaha ke pashu-pakshiyo aur Vanachaariyo ko bhayebhit kar rahi hai. Kaun hai aap 2 Yuvak jinke aane se iss van ke sabhi praani ghabra Gaye hai ?" Hanuman asked.

But Shri Ram and Lakshman stayed silent, they were intently listening to the words being spoken by Hanuman.

"Aap dono toh atyant veer, shaktishali aur roopvaan hai jinki ekagrata sher ke bhaati ho. Aapki bhujaye toh gaj ke sundh ke bhaati hai. Aur aap apne hi tej se chamak rahe hai. Yaha tak yeh parvat bhi aapke aane se chamak utha hai. Aap dono toh kisi Rajya ke Raja banne ke yogya hai. Aapki vistrut chhati aur sher ke bhaati kandhe, toh abhushano aur ratno se susajjit hone chahiye. Kintu mai dekh raha hu aapne koi abhushan nahi pehne. Kaun hai aap aur yaha kyu aaye hai ?" Hanuman asked.

Still the princes of Ayodhya kept looking at the 'sage' in front of them without saying a word.
