Ramayana Book Four

Rama goes to the monkey capital of Kishkndha to seek help in finding Sita, and meets Hnuman, the greatest of the monkey heroes. There are two claimants for the monkey throne, Valin and Sugrva; Rama helps Sugrva win the throne, and in return Sugrva promises to help in the search for Sita. The monkey hordes set out in every direction to scour the world, but without success until an old vulture tells them she is in Lanka. Hnuman promises to leap over the ocean to Lanka to pursue the search.
