Sundarakanda 

Sarga 63

"dr̥ṣṭā dēvī na saṁdēhō" means, "Sita has been seen, without a doubt"; and he adds, "Not by anybody else, by Hanuman only"; That is Sugriva's statement.

This speaks volumes about Sugriva's belief in Hanuma. Sugriva reached the conclusion even before Hanuma and others could report after Hanuma's safe return. No conversation about Hanuma's greatness can end, without out quoting this statement of Sugriva. How Sugriva reached that conclusion is the story of this Sarga.

There is another aspect that should be noted. That is about a commitment redeemed.

When this information was conveyed, Rama and Lakshmana were delighted. Looking at the delight of Rama and Lakshmana, which is reflected in their eyes. Sugriva was delighted (nananda 63.27). Valmiki describes that happy scene. ‘The duo of princes was overjoyed. It could be seen in their eyes that expanded in delight. With their object all but met, all their limbs were filled with happiness. The king of Vanaras too was extremely delighted, knowing that the successful end of his mission is within reach. bāhvōrāsannāṁ means hastaprāptamiva, As though it is within his hands reach!

Sugriva who has committed to take up search for Sita, in return for getting Vanara kingdom, now almost feels like he discharged his responsibility. And so, he is delighted. A commitment has been redeemed. Thus there is happiness shared by all the three in this Sarga. This is also the first occasion, in Sundarakanda, where Rama's, who is always present in the background, is acknowledged as being physically present.

Now we go through the Slokas of Sarga sixty-three.
