Kiskindhākānda - Canto 48

Accompanied by Angada and others, Hanumān seeks for Sītā in the dense forests and caves of the Vindhyan range. Making their way into a forest whose trees had ceased to flower and bear fruits because of a curse pronounced by Sage Kandu, overwhelmed with grief occasioned by
the loss of his son, the monkeys, who felt exhausted due to exertion, behold a demon. As the latter swoops upon the monkeys with a raised fist, Angada makes short work of him thinking him to be Rāvana. Feeling exhausted through peregrination in the forest, the monkeys seek the foot of a tree.
