Sugreeva saw Hanuman returning with the two strangers and was satisfied. He seated them and offered them some refreshment after Hanuman had presented Rama and Lakshmana to Sugreeva, and explained their plight. Hanuman was renowned for his wisdom, and Sugreeva realised he spoke the truth when he said, “You will benefit from this friendship, sir. You will get your wife and your kingdom back. And they need your help to seek Seeta.” The friendship between Rama, Sugreeva and Lakshmana was assured. They sat for long sharing the stories of their life and their feelings of sorrow and love and guilt. Hanuman was just happy to be with his Lord and serve him. Sugreeva said he would first send out his large army of monkeys and bears in all directions to find out where Seeta was located.
