The second triangle of the diagram. The first — in the tenth verse — was composed of Rāma, Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa in the forest; this one is composed around the throne.
Bharata and Śatrughna at the sides. Bharata is the one who ruled fourteen years with his brother's sandals set on the throne, himself living as a hermit. His place beside the enthroned one is by right.
And in front, facing Him, — Hanumān, and he is named with one word: śrotā, “the listener”.
Here everything converges. Rāma expounds — Hanumān listens. And therefore in the diagram he is not at the side but straight before the Lord: the listener stands nearest of all.
Note who is not between them. Neither brother nor wife — those are at the sides; opposite the face is the bhakta.
This is the book's answer to the question who is closest to God. Neither kinship nor merit sets one in front, but attention. The whole tradition knows the same measure: Hanumān, foreign by birth, a beast in form, proves the first.
The following verses will add circle after circle, and all the others — kings, gods, sages — will take their places beyond him.
