Hanumana shows the name of Rama in his body

All the Gods and their consorts came to see the coronation of Rama. Rama was given many gifts by all. Rama also gave gifts to all who had come to attend the coronation. Rama gave jewels to all. Hanumana was missed. He sat quietly wondering what he had done to deserve this. Sita noticed this. Taking a necklace from her body, she wanted to give it to Hanumana. She looked at Rama. Rama said Give it whom you wish to give.
Sita gave the necklace to Hanumana who wore it and bowed down to Sita. Sita said You will be devoid of sickness and old age. You will be immortal. Till the date the name of Rama is taken, you will live on this earth.
Hanumana took the necklace, looked at it and broke it into pieces. Lakshmana said to Rama, Hanumana does not appreciate the value of the necklace and has destroyed it. Rama said Ask Hanumana the reason for the same.
Hanumana said I accepted this as it something very precious. I do not see the name of Rama anywhere in this, so I have discarded it.
Lakshmana said In that case, you do not have the name of Rama on your body, so why do you keep your body.
Hanumana then with his nails, tore apart his chest. There, in each and every bone of his, the name of Rama was written.
Ashamed, Lakshmana said there is no devotee of Rama greater than you, Hanumana.
