The monkeys and Rakşasas having said this, Hanuman bowing, said to Rama "May my loving reverence be always in you, O king; may my devotion to you remain unshaken, O hero; and may my mind be not attached to any other thing. May my life remain in my body as long as the stories of Rama shall be in currency on earth. Let not this prove otherwise.
तेषामेवं ब्रुवाणानां वानराणां च रक्षसाम्। हनूमान्प्रणतो भूत्वा राघवं वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ स्नेहो मे परमो राजंस्त्वयि तिष्ठतु नित्यदा। भक्तिश्च नियता वीर भावो नान्यत्र गच्छतु॥ यावद्रामकथा वीर चरिष्यति महीतले। तावच्छरीरे वत्स्यन्तु प्राणा मम न संशयः॥
