Ramáyana Book Four Kishkíndha by Valmiki Translated by Rosalind Lefeber
Rama goes to the monkey capital of Kishkíndha to seek help in finding Sita. There he meets Hánuman, the greatest of the monkey heroes. There are two claimants for the monkey throne, Valin and Sugríva. Rama helps Sugríva win the throne, and in return Sugríva promises to help in the search for Sita. The monkey hordes set out in every direction to scour the world, but without success until an old vulture tells them she is in Lanka. Hánuman promises to leap over the ocean to Lanka to pursue the search.
