BOOK 4: KISHKINDA KANDA

SECTION 47

As commanded by the king of Vanaras Sugreeva all of the elephentine Vanaras essayed everywhere with post hast for a glimpse of Vaidehi. (4 47 1) Those Vanaras have thoroughly searched at lakes, in the pens of creepers on riverbanks, in vacant lands and in crowded cities and at impassable places with rivers and mountains. (4 47 2)

All the Vanara commanders explicitly commanded by Sugreeva, very carefully searched all the provinces inclusive of their mountains, woodlands, and thick forests. (4 47 3) All the Vanara s firmed up in finding Seetha have searched nooks and corners of earth by day, and at nighttimes they used to coming together onto earth at scheduled places. (4 47 4) In all those days those Vanara s used to come to trees which have fruits of all seasons to make those trees as their beds at bedtime. (4 47 5)

Counting the day of their starting as day one, those elephentine Vanaras returned to Mountain Prasavana within one month, hopeless of Seetha, and met Sugreeva, the king of Vanaras, who is with Rama awaiting the return of Vanaras. (4 47 6) Commander Vinata, the great mighty vanara, came back after searching eastern quarter as Sugreeva had advised, but without finding Seetha there. (4 47 7) Even the valiant and matchless Vanara Shatabali explored whole of the northern direction along with his army, but he too came back as Seetha is undiscovered there. (4 47 8)

Sushena, the father in law of Sugreeva, searching whole of western quarter along with vanara s, but not finding Seetha there, he came back when one month is completed, and approached Sugreeva. (4 47 9) All of the expeditionists have reached and venerated Sugreeva who is sitting along with Rama on the peak of Mountain Prasavana and spoke this to him. (4 47 10) "All of the mountains, all of the serried forests, all of the riversides up to the edge of oceans, likewise, all of the inhabitations have been searched. (4 47 11) "Those caves that were explicitly extolled by you, they are all thoroughly searched, and immense shrubby hutches that are thickly entwined with climber plants have also been rummaged. (4 47 12)

"Search is conducted in the compacted, lopsided, and impenetrable provinces, and colossal beings are hunted out and killed presuming that Ravana might have assumed those odd shapes, and the impassable provinces are searched high and low, time and again. (4 47 13) Hanuma" is high born and exceptionally mighty, oh, Sugreeva, the king of vanara s, he will ascertain about Maithili, because the son of Vayu, Hanuma, resorted to the direction in which Seetha is taken away." Thus, Vanara chiefs reported to their king Sugreeva. (4 47 14)
