> Śrī Sūta said: / When the liṅga had thus been consecrated by Rāma of untiring deeds, / Māruti quickly arrived, bringing an excellent liṅga. (1) / Having bowed to heroic Rāma, son of Daśaratha, that Māruti / then bowed to Vaidehī and Lakṣmaṇa, and saluted Sugrīva. (2) / Then, seeing the scion of Raghu worshipping that sandy liṅga / together with the sages, the son of the wind became furious. (3) / Extremely distressed with sorrow, his toil rendered vain, / Hanūmān, son of Añjanā, spoke to righteous Rāma: (4) / Hanūmān said: / “Ill-born was I, O Rāma, in vain, solely for affliction in the world! / I have often been tormented, O Lord, by the demons of cruel deeds. (5) / May no woman ever bear a son like me, / through whom endless sorrow is experienced in the ocean of worldly existence! (6) / I was tormented earlier by service, and even more so by battle; / now there is endless sorrow because you disregard me! (7) / By Sugrīva for the sake of a wife, and by the demon, / the younger brother of Rāvaṇa, for a kingdom, you were served, O scion of Raghu. (8) / By me you have been served without motive, O Rāma, O broad-minded one! / Among the many monkeys, I was indeed commanded by you today (9) / to bring a Śivaliṅga from Kailāsa, the supreme mountain. / Having gone swiftly to Kailāsa, I did not see the wielder of the Pināka. (10) / Having pleased him, the one accompanied by Ambā, whose mount is the bull, through tapas, / and having obtained the liṅga, O lord of the Raghus, I quickly returned. (11) / But now, having consecrated another liṅga made of sand, / you are worshipping it, O lord, along with the sages, gods, and gandharvas! (12) / In vain was this liṅga brought by me from Mount Kailāsa! / Ah, my body has become a burden to this earth, / O unfortunate as I am, O great king, O delight of Jānakī, O sovereign! / I am unable to endure this grief, O scion of Raghu! (14)”
