Hanuman, you are matchless as you have crossed the mighty ocean of hundred Yojana, none of us could stand equal to your prowess and might.  You have marvelous devotion and dedication to Lord, you are extremely courageous and powerful, you have located the virtuous Sita, consort of Rama and soon he can get relieved out of the sorrow caused by the separation from her.”  All those mighty Vanaras took their seats on the rocks encircling Angadha, Hanuman and Jambavan, were fervently waiting to hear Hanuman, and with their palms joined, yearning to hear about crossing of the mighty ocean, sight of City of Lanka and all about Ravana and Sita.  Angadha who was seated in the middle of all the Vanaras, resembled like Lord Indra, Lord of celestials among the deities in his abode.  The resplendent Hauman and prominent Angadha who was decked in marvelous armlet stood in splendor, all the Vanaras were merrily settled on the high and large peak.
