Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)वानरवीर हनुमान जी ने जब देखा कि सारी लङ्कापुरी जल रही है, वहाँ के निवासियों पर त्रास छा गया है और राक्षसगण अत्यन्त भयभीत हो गये हैं, तब उनके मन में सीता के दग्ध होने की आशङ्का से बड़ी चिन्ता हुई
M. N. Dutt (1891–94), via Valmiki Ramayan DatasetOvertaken by great fear, Hanuman felt a sense of selfreproach seeing Lanka reduced to ashes, and said, ' Lanka is burnt. What a heinous action has been perpetrated by me'.

Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)हनुमान जी ने जब चारणों के कहे हुए ये अमृत के समान मधुर वचन सुने, तब उनके हृदय में तत्काल हर्षोल्लास छा गया
M. N. Dutt (1891–94), via Valmiki Ramayan DatasetHanuman, having fulfilled his desires and knowing that Sita is not hurt, thought of departing after meeting Sita once again (to testify that she is really safe). इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चपञ्चाशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fiftyfifth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
