Sundarakānda - Canto 34

Inferring from the suitable reply to his queries received from Sītā and the trust reposed in him by the latter, Hanumān reveals to her the role of an envoy allotted to him by Śrī Rāma and repeat the inquiries made by the two brothers about her welfare. Taking him to be Rāvana disguised as a monkey, Sītā, on the other hand, reproaches him when the latter approaches her in order to bow down at her feet. In order to allay her fears, Hanumān for his part discloses to her his reality as a minister of Sugrīva as well as requests her to give credence to his words.
