Shri Ram walked outside the ashram of Rishi Bharadwaj. A frown was plastered on his face as held his daughter close in his arms. Why didn't he give the blessing of long life to her ? His mind was plagued.

"Nath, Rishi Bharadwaj ne Dirghayu ka vardaan nahi diya uski chinta sata rahi hai ?" Devi Sita asked walking beside him.

"Ha Sitey." Shri Ram sighed.

"Ho sakta hai ki aapki putri aapke bhaati hi Dirghayu ho. Iss liye kadachit unhone nahi diya." She guessed.

"Aisa ho sakta hai ?" He asked, wanting assurance.

"Dekhiye, Rishi Bharadwaj ne ise Gun, Aishwarya, veerta, adi ka aashirwad kyu nahi diya ? Kyuki aapki putri ke paas pehle se woh sab hoga. Toh kadachit unhone iss hi karan Dirghayu ka aashirvad na diya ho." Devi Sita said.

Shri Ram nodded but was still unsure, he hoped what Devi Sita said turns out to be true. Suddenly he felt a tug on his angvastra, he looked at his daughter who was looking at the forest.

"Tumhe van vihaar karna hai na ? Chalo tumhe Chitrakoot ka saundarya dikhayu." Shri Ram said with a smile.

Devi Sita was relieved seeing her husband smile, as he enthusiastically went to the forest to show his daughter the beauty of nature.

"Dekho putri, inn pedo ke fal hum khaate the.... Aur uss vat-vriksh ko chhaya mei mai aur Sitey aksar samaye vyatit karte the.... Aur waha Mandakini Nadi mei hum snaan karte the." Shri Ram showed her around.

Her big eyes followed everything he showed, seeing her curious face his enthusiasm increased, after all this was the forest they spent the best time of their life in. The nostalgia was also hitting him.

For a moment he felt like living here only for the rest of his life. He had everyone he cared deeply for, his beloved wife, dear brother and now precious daughter. He needed nothing else, no kingdoms, no wealth nor anything.

"Prabhu, vimaan mei sab aapki pratiksha kar rahe hai." Hanuman said coming towards him.

"Hanuman, mera ek karya karoge ?" Shri Ram asked.

"Aadesh kare." The son of Vayu said.

"Nandigraam mei ek Parnakuti sthaapit kar, mera bhai Bharat Rajya ka karya sambhaal raha hai. Tum uske paas jao, aur use humare aagman tatha Dandakaranya aur Lanka ki ghatnao ke baare mei bhi batao. Jab Bharat yeh sab tumse sune toh uske haav-bhaav parakhna, aur jaanne ka prayas karna ki woh humare lautne se prasann hai ki nahi." Shri Ram said.

"Jaisi aapki aagya." Hanuman nodded.

"Yu toh mujhe Bharat par sandeh nahi kintu ann, vaibhav aur aishwarya se paripurn purkho ka Rajya paa kar koi bhi vyakti use apne paas rakhna chahega. Yadi tumhe aisa lage ki Bharat Ikshvakuo ke Rajya par akele shaashan karna chahta hai toh koi baat nahi. Mai Ayodhya par se apne adhikaaro ka tyaag kardunga. Ishvar kare ki woh sampurn prithvi par Raj kare." Shri Ram said.

A/N

This event shows how much Shri Ram trusted Hanuman ji. Because it's a very personal and important task, in which the smallest error could ruin the relation between the brothers forever. Such work could be entrusted only to someone intelligent, perceptive, empathetic and loyal.

Also you know why in Hanuman chalisa Shri Ram says 'Tum mam priya Bharatahi sam bhai' ? Why only Bharat and not Lakshman or Shatrughan ?

Because Hanuman ji is the doot/ representative of Shri Ram and so is Bharat who ruled Ayodhya on behalf of Shri Ram ✨
