Anjaneya was in merriment after witnessing the chastity of Sita, he abundantly praised her thoughts and the difficulties he had in crossing the ocean of 100 Yojanas.  Anjaneya reveals that it was his eagerness to assist Rama made him to think whatever possible ways to relieve him from the distress and his devotion and affection towards Sita forced him to suggest the idea of crossing the vast ocean with Sita.   Anjaneya requested for something as a sign of remembrances to give to Rama, so that Rama could easily recognize.   Sita narrates in tears about the incident of a crow which dared to tear off her chest while the couple was having pleasing time together in the rich natural beauty of their hermitage.   The crow was kept on pecking her chest for meat and Sita was making all efforts to wave off the crow without causing any disturbance to her husband who was asleep on her lap.   Shortly, she went to rest on her husband’s lap and got up; once again the crow returned with all its vengeance and started attacking her.  At this moment, Rama got off from the sleep and found her in tears and wet with blood all over.    The crow, son of Lord Indra was seen by Rama, he took a sacred grass/Kusha grass and applied it as Astra (weapon made of chanting Manthra) a powerful Brahmastra against the crow.  It scurried to various directions for protection, finally sought help at the feet of Rama.  The most compassionate Rama was kind towards the crow seeing its helplessness, though it deserves punishment for its dreadful deed, the purpose of Brahmastra a powerful weapon should not go waste, hence Rama shot the arrow on the right eye of the crow and saved its life.  The crow paid obeisance to Rama and returned to its abode.  Once again Sita recollected the braveness of Rama with tears all over, cursed her fate for being left alone and abandoned by her beloved husband and Lakshmana.
