Roaming on the paths (of the forest) Ram met Hanuman and they both became friends.364.
Hanuman brought Sugriva the king of monkeys to fall at the feet of Ram.
And all of them unitedly held consultation amongst themselves,
All the ministers sat down and gave their personal views.
Ram killed Bali, the king of monkeys and made Sugriva his permanent ally.365.
End of the chapter entitled Killing of Bali’ in BACHITTAR NATAK.
Now begins the description of sending of Hanuman in search of Sita :
GEETA MALTI STANZA
The army of monkeys was divided into four parts and sent in all the four directions and Hanuman was sent to Lanka.
Hanuman took the ring (of Rama) and immediately went and crossed the sea, he reached the place where Sita was kept (by Ravana).
Destroying Lanka, killing Akshay Kumar and devastating Ashok Vatika, Hanuman came back,
And presented before Ram the creations of Ravana, the ememy of gods.366.
Now combining all the forces they all proceeded (with millions of fighters),
And there were mighty warriors like Ram, Sugriva, Lakshman,
Jamvant, Sukhen, Neel, Hanuman, Angad etc. in their army.
The swarms of troops of the sons of monkeys, gushed forward like clouds from all the four directions.367.
When after splitting the sea and forming a passage they all crossed the sea.
Then the messengers of Ravana fled towards him to convey the news.
They request him to get ready for war.
And protect the beautiful city of Lanka from the entry of Ram.368.
Ravana called Dhumraksha and Jambumali and sent them for war.
Both them shouting terribly reached near Ram.
Hanuman in great rage firmly stood on the earth on one foot,
And attacked violently with his second foot with which the mighty Dhumraksha fell down and died.369.
