Sugriva delegated the quest for Sita in the west to Susena, Tara's father. He was to search the towns, villages and groves in the region where the river Sindhu infested with deadly crocodiles and gigantic fish merged with the ocean. It was also the region where winged lions lived feasting on large water creatures and mammoth elephants, which roamed the Hemagiri Mountain. "You will also behold the Varaha Mountain shoot up into the sky in all its splendor. Its lofty peaks are pure gold and on its summit rest the city of Pragjyotishya where lives the asura known as Narakasura. Search every inch of its broad slopes and its deep dark caves." "Past Varaha is mount Meru where the gods go to worship the Sun, who dips behind its peaks, plunging the world in darkness becoming invisible to all creatures. Beyond that, neither the rising Sun or the setting Sun is visible, nothing is familiar and profound darkness prevails. Go now, come back with news of Sita and of the abode of Ravana, so that Rama's debt can be repaid. Those who do not return thirty days from now shall face death"!
