Canto CXXVII. Ráma's Message.

But Ráma, when he first looked down

And saw afar Ayodhyá's town,

Had called Hanumán to his side,

The chief on whom his heart relied,

And said: “Brave Vánar, good at need,

Haste onward, to Ayodhyá speed,

And learn, I pray, if all be well

With those who in the palace dwell.
