Sugrīva, réjoui, parla de nouveau à Rāma, joie de la lignée des Raghu : «Ô Rāma, voici Hanumān, mon conseiller, le plus excellent des ministres ; il m’a révélé la raison pour laquelle tu es venu dans cette forêt déserte. Tandis que tu demeurais ici avec ton frère Lakṣmaṇa, ton épouse Maithilī, fille de Janaka, fut enlevée par un rākṣasa lorsqu’elle resta seule, en pleurs ; et, guettant l’occasion, il tua le vautour Jaṭāyu.»
Sugriva was pleased to say to Rama, delight of the Raghu race once again, 'O Rama, Hanuman, jewel among Ministers, has told me the cause of your coming to this desolate forest. While you were residing in the forest, a demon who was looking for an opportunity carried off your wife, the princess from Mithila, daughter of Janaka, finding her alone. While she was crying (piteously) he killed Jatayu. (the vulture who pretested).
