Anjile Ondru Petra Anangai Kandayalar Ooril - Met with the damsel born of one of the 5 elements (Earth) in an alien city 5.

He was born of the wind (one of the five elements); jumped across the water of the ocean (another one of the five elements); speeded through space (another one of the five elements) to see Sita the daughter of Earth (yet another one of the five elements); set Lanka on fire (again one of the five elements). Although Kamban’s portrayal of Hanuman is faithful to the spirit of Valmiki, he also incorporates the way Hanuman has been venerated. In his very first meeting with Hanuman, Rama recognises his intelligence, particularly his ability to convey information with precision and in the shortest possible words. This efficiency in verbal communication earned Hanuman the title, ‘the master of words’ from Rama. Kamban consistently portrayed Hanuman as the symbol of dedication, of intelligence, and, as he is, of strength. More than the astonishing physical prowess displayed in the adventurous deeds of Hanuman, his multidimensional intelligence, communication skills, ability of discernment and above all his commitment to dharma, become central in Kamban’s work. Kamban calls Hanuman as ‘the one who removes the loneliness of dharma’. Rama is, in a way, a lonely person because he adheres to dharma. His life shows that nothing is dearer to him than dharma. He forsakes the kingdom for dharma; he forsakes his wife for dharma; later he forsakes even his dear brother Lakshmana for dharma. Sita loves Rama as her husband; Lakshmana loves him as his brother; people of Ayodhya love him as a great king; Dasaratha as his dear son. But the commitment to dharma that Rama has, overrides all the love at one point or another, leaving Rama in magnificent loneliness. Kamban considers Hanuman alone as the one who understands Rama as the embodiment of dharma and loves him through that vision. Almost every scholar of *Kamba Ramayanam* does not fail to contrast the way in which Hanuman communicates to Rama the success of his mission to Lanka. In *Valmiki Ramayana*, it is Sri Rama, who approaches Hanuman to find out where Sita is, even as the *vanaras* indulge in jubilation over the success of Hanuman, to which Hanuman makes a salutation to the southern direction, thus conveying where Sita is imprisoned. Kamban eliminates the unruly celebration by the *vanaras*, and it is Hanuman, who conveys the message to Rama by making salutations to the southern direction — indicating the direction where Sita is. Then he makes the famous statement, “saw the jewel of chastity”. Here, Kamban unconventionally inverses the sentence, putting ‘saw’ before ‘Sita’, to bring out Hanuman’s sensibilities. The reasoning behind this is, the very first word of Hanuman’s statement conveying Sita’s whereabouts must give hope, and anything other than that can cause agony to Rama, even if it is for a split second, about what her condition in Lanka is. Hanuman didn’t want to prolong even by seconds Rama’s distress over Sita’s whereabouts.
