The Vanara moving in search of Sita, the blameless princess born in a noble family, awakened the birds which were sleeping happily. Hit by the wings of the flying flocks of birds the trees showered flowers of many different colors. Hanuman the son of wind god covered with variety of flowers shone like a mountain covered with flowers in the middle of the Ashoka grove.

The Ashoka grove crushed by Hanuman's tail and hands appeared like a woman with disheveled hair, with her vermillion mark effaced , with bright teeth and lips looking faded being repeatedly kissed and wounded with nails and teeth.

The Vanara saw a river flowing down from that mountain appearing like a beloved falling and rising from the arms of the lover. With waters swirling around the branches dipping into the river, the waters looked like a young woman wanting to leave but detained by her relatives. The waters running backward in circles appeared as if the pleased beloved has returned to her lover.

Not far from there, the tiger among Vanaras saw a lotus pond filled with different kinds of water birds . Filled with cool water , having steps studded with gems , spread over with pearl dust as sand, with many kinds of herds of animals, with wonderful colorful trees, with large mansions , it looked like it was built by Vishwakarma with artificial woodlands decorated all over.

He saw several pieces of land with streams flowing out of springs and other golden trees resembling fire. Then the heroic Vanara saw the radiance of the golden trees and felt like he was amidst the Meru mountain with its golden radiance. Then Hanuman was wonder struck seeing and hearing the tinkling sound of hundreds of anklets produced by the golden trees (swaying) in the wind.

The heroic Vanara with powerful arms climbed up the Simsupa tree, full of leaves with flowers blooming on the top, with tender sprouts and leaves (and said to himself). 'I will see Vaidehi who is anxious for seeing Rama, who is full of sorrow moving about here and there by chance'.
