Сугрива, обрадованный, вновь обратился к Раме, радости рода Рагху: «О Рама, этот Хануман — мой советник, лучший из министров — поведал мне, по какой причине ты пришёл в этот безлюдный лес. Когда ты жил здесь в лесу вместе с братом Лакшманой, твою супругу Майтхили, дочь Джанаки, похитил ракшаса, когда она осталась одна и плакала; и, выжидая удобный миг, он убил грифа Джатаю».
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).
