Sundarakānda - Canto 57

Having leapt from the coast of Lankā and touching the Maināka mountain, which he came across in the way, nay, advancing further, Hanumān roars at the top of his voice at the sight of the Mahendra mountain in order to bring joy to the monkeys awaiting his return there. Jāmbavān tells the monkeys, who got up impetuously on hearing the roar, that Hanumān has returned successful from his expedition as was evident from his jubilant roar. Having greeted Jāmbavān and others on alighting on the summit of the Mahendra mountain, Hanumån narrates to them in a nutshell the story of his discovery of Sītā. Applauding Hanumān, Prince Angada, who was eager to hear the story, sits down to do so on an extensive flat rock alongwith all.
