Sundara Kaanda Sargas 59
Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 59
In this Sarga, after narrating all that he had done since he left them till he came back to them, Hanumān asks the Vānaras whether it makes sense for them to take Seetā by themselves and present her to Rāma. He tells how confident that he himself is in killing Rāvaṇa and his forces, and how confident he is in the prowess, strength and power of the other Vānaras like Jāmbavan, Sugreeva, Panasa, Neela, Mainda and Dwivida. He tells them again about the pitiable condition of Seetā. He asks them to think about what is to be done next, given her situation.

In this Sarga, after narrating all that he had done since he left them till he came back to them, Hanumān asks the Vānaras whether it makes sense for them to take Seetā by themselves and present her to Rāma. He tells how confident that he himself is in killing Rāvaṇa and his forces, and how confident he is in the prowess, strength and power of the other Vānaras like Jāmbavan, Sugreeva, Panasa, Neela, Mainda and Dwivida. He tells them again about the pitiable condition of Seetā. He asks them to think about what is to be done next, given her situation.
