SlOkam 32
Taadrug guNO nanu babhoovitha raagava tvam (tvE)
Yas taavakam chritam anvaham anva bhunkta /
sO atra Eva hanta! hanuman paramaam vimuktim
budhvaa avadhooya charitam tava sEvatE asou //

?Oh! Lord! When, as Rama, you exhibited all your auspicious qualities so
much that your ardent Bhakta AanjanEya (known as Siriya TiruvaDi) enjoyed
them with immense devotion. But, the very same AanjanEya, the son of Wind
god, who knew mOksham to be the ultimate bliss chose to discard it in
preference to his enjoying your qualities here on earth itself!?

COMMENTS:
When on the completion of his avataara as Sri Rama, he prepared to return to
his eternal abode of VaikunTam, VibheeshaNa wanted to accompany him. But,
the Lord stopped him saying that he should remain on earth for protecting
Dharma and ordered him to obey without uttering a word in dissent?

Yaavat prajaa dharishyanti taavat svam vibheeshaNa!
raakshsEndra! Mahaaveerya! Lankaastha: svam dhaarayishyasi//
saapitastvam sakhitvEna kaaryam tE saasanam mama /
prajaastvam raksha dharmENa na uttaram vaktum arhasi //

Sri Rama handed over Periya perumaaL along with kOvilaazhwaar asking
VIbheeshaNa to take it to Lanka.

At that time, he invited Hanuman, (who was then doing Raamajapam in some corner
of Gandhamaadana mountain) to come with him. Hanuman, however, was not willing
to go with Sri Rama saying:
?I would like to remain in this earth itself enjoying your auspicious
qualities you exhibited in such abundance. I have no inclination to come to
your ?nitya-vibhooti? because such an ?anubhavam? will not be available
elsewhere than on this earth?

snEhO mE paramO raajan! Tvayi nityam pratishTita: /
bhaktis cha niyataa veera! bhaavO na anyatra gachchati //

The word ?snEha? indicates ?Para bhakti?; ?parama: pratishTita:? indicates
?Para jnaanam? and ?niyataa Bhakti? indicates ?Parama bhakti?. Thus, AanjanEya
revealed that here on earth, he has attained all the three stages of Bhakti
yOga and, therefore, he did not need to proceed to VaikunTam at all!

?hanta!? Azhwaan wonders that when great seers hated life on earth and longed
to attain Paramapadam, it is strange that AanjanEya was going in reverse gear!

Perhaps Sri Rama created an opportunity to reveal the extraordinary devotion of
AanjanEya, by devising such a ?question and answer? session!

?hanuman tava charitam atraiva sEvatE?: shows that as ?Chiranjeevi?, Hanuman to
this day remains on earth singing the praise of Sri Rama and attending
assemblies where the glory of Sri Rama is sung.

?Yatra yatra raghunaatha keerthanam
tatra tatra krita mastaka anjalim
Bhaashpavaari paripoorNa lOchanam
maarutim namata raakshasaantakam //?

So says the Invocatory (upakrama) Dhyaana Slokas of Srimad RaamaayaNa
paaraayaNa.

?Is it not because it was here on earth (leelaa vibhooti) that you performed
superhuman feats (athimaanusha chEshTitam)? Azhwaan seems to ask the Lord.
