Together, everyone then rushes to Prasravan, the thickly wooded forest where Sri Ram dwells. Seeing them, the ascetic prince and Lakshman eagerly enquire about Sita’s whereabouts and condition. The monkeys urge Hanuman to step forward and answer. Hanuman offers his salutations, with his head bowed in reverence, and narrates the happenings in Lanka.
