Telling Śrī Rāma that he had come to know from Hanumān all about his misfortune (in the shape of the abduction of his wife) and assuring him that he will have her traced out wherever she may be and restore her to him, Sugrīva fetches from inside his cave an ornament tied in a corner of a silk wrapper and dropped by her from the air while being carried away by Rāvana, and shows it to Śrī Rāma. Recognizing it as belonging to Sītā alone, Śrī Rāma is plunged once more in grief born of separation from his beloved spouse and, violently hissing like a serpent, impatiently inquires who that Rāvana was and where from he hailed.
