5.62.37–6.4.2 (CrEd 5.60.34–6.4.2)

मधुवन का रक्षक दधिमुख उड़कर सुग्रीव के पास शिकायत लेकर जाता है कि अंगद के वानरों ने मधुवन उजाड़ दिया है, और सुग्रीव इसमें संकेत पढ़ लेते हैं कि सीता मिल गई हैं, और उन्हें बुलवा भेजते हैं। हनुमान राम को प्रणाम करके बताते हैं कि देवी सकुशल हैं और अपने व्रत पर अटल हैं; राम उन्हें गले लगाते हैं, फिर समुद्र के सामने निराश हो जाते हैं, जब तक सुग्रीव उन्हें उत्साह नहीं दिलाते। हनुमान लंका की किलेबंदी का वर्णन करते हैं, और राम उस नगरी को नष्ट करने का प्रण लेते हैं।

Dadhimukha, keeper of the Madhuvana, flies to Sugriva to complain that Angada's vanaras have ravaged the honey grove, and Sugriva reads in it the sign that Sita has been found and sends for them. Hanuman bows to Rama and tells him the devi is unharmed and constant; Rama embraces him, then despairs before the sea until Sugriva rouses him. Hanuman describes Lanka's defences, and Rama vows to destroy the city.
