The Vanara armies were gone and Rama once again settled down on mount Prasravana to wait for that month when Sita was to be brought back. He watched the generals lead their troops away. Satavali went north towards the Himalayas, Vinata traveled east, Hanuman and Angada went south and Susena towards the west. Chafing for war, eager to find Sita and raring to destroy Ravana, the raucous armies left, stomping, roaring and bragging. "I can slay Ravana all by myself" said one, while the other declared, " I can kill him faster and deliver the terror struck, trembling princess Sita to Rama". Still anther boasted, " I can seek her out even if she were in the very core of the earth!" and so went on the challenges of the monkey bands in the service of their king and their god, Rama!
