Sundara Kaanda Sarga 35
Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 35
In this Sarga, Seetā asks Hanumān to tell about the distinguishing marks of Rāma and how he came to meet Rāma and Lakshmaṇa, so that she can trust him to be who he says he is.
Hanumān then describes to her in detail Rāma’s physique and other distinguishing marks and characteristics and how Rāma came to meet Sugreeva, how a friendship developed between the two, how Rāma killed Vali and established Sugreeva as the king, how Sugreeva sent the Vānaras in search of her, how the Vānaras led by Aṅgada lost their way on the Vindhya mountain, how Sampāti told them that she is Rāvaṇa’s house, how the Vānaras came to the northern shore of the ocean and how Hanumān jumped over the ocean to reach Laṅkā and finally got to see her in person.
Hanumān assures her that Rāma would come soon and take her back after killing Rāvaṇa and all his kith and kin.

Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 35
In this Sarga, Seetā asks Hanumān to tell about the distinguishing marks of Rāma and how he came to meet Rāma and Lakshmaṇa, so that she can trust him to be who he says he is.
Hanumān then describes to her in detail Rāma’s physique and other distinguishing marks and characteristics and how Rāma came to meet Sugreeva, how a friendship developed between the two, how Rāma killed Vali and established Sugreeva as the king, how Sugreeva sent the Vānaras in search of her, how the Vānaras led by Aṅgada lost their way on the Vindhya mountain, how Sampāti told them that she is Rāvaṇa’s house, how the Vānaras came to the northern shore of the ocean and how Hanumān jumped over the ocean to reach Laṅkā and finally got to see her in person.
Hanumān assures her that Rāma would come soon and take her back after killing Rāvaṇa and all his kith and kin.
