De nuevo habló Sugrīva, complacido, a Rāma, gozo de la estirpe de Raghu: «Oh Rāma, este Hanumān, mi consejero y el mejor de los ministros, me ha contado la causa por la que has venido a este bosque solitario. Mientras morabas aquí en la selva con tu hermano Lakṣmaṇa, tu esposa Maithilī, hija de Janaka, fue raptada por un rākṣasa cuando quedó sola, llorando; y, buscando su ocasión, él mató al buitre Jaṭāyu».

FAQs

Truthful reporting and responsible counsel: Sugrīva conveys what he has learned through Hanumān, aligning leadership with satya (truth) and dharma (duty to aid the righteous).

After meeting Rāma, Sugrīva explains that Hanumān has informed him of Rāma’s reason for coming to the forest—Sītā’s abduction and Jaṭāyu’s death.

Sugrīva’s goodwill and honesty as an ally, and Hanumān’s competence as a discerning minister who accurately understands and communicates Rāma’s plight.
