Qualities of an ambassador

Courtesy: Sri.PK.Ramakrishnan

=======================

Hanuman introduces himself that he is a messenger/ambassador of Sugriva. Then Rama
speaks to Lakshmana giving an appraisal of Hanuman in the following words.
 
नूनं व्याकरणं क्रित्स्नं अनेन बहुधा श्रुतम् /
बहु व्याहरतानेन न किंचिदपभाषितम् //
अविस्तरं असन्दिग्धं अविलम्बितं अद्रुतम् /
उरस्थं कन्ठगं वाक्यं वर्तते मध्यमे स्वरे //
उच्चारयति कल्याणीं वाचं हृदयदारिणीम् /
कस्य नाराध्यते चित्त्तमुद्यतासेररेरपि //
एवं विधो यस्य दूतो न भवेत् पार्थिवस्य तु /
सिध्यन्ति हि कथं तस्य कार्याणां गतयोनघ //

Surely all grammar has been heard by him.
Even when he spoke a lot, there has been no
mistake in his speech.
Not elaborate. Without any ambiguity. Not slow. Nor fast.
From the heart through the neck in a middle tone.
He speaks beutiful words touching one's heart.
Whose mind is not happy, even that of an enemy with raised sword.
If one does not have a messenger (ambassador) like this, how can
a king achieve results.
