Hanuman pleaded with Svayamprabha to help them get out of the cave as the time given them to search for Sita had ended while they were still groping in the cave. We live in fear of Sugriva who might punish us with death for having no news of Sita" lamented Hanuman. Though it was not possible for anyone entering the cave to go out alive, Svayamprabha in her kindness led them out of the cave and sent them on their way with her blessings. Coming out of the cave, the Vanaras saw what the ascetic said was the great ocean Mahodadhi. They gazed at the endless expanse of water that seemed to reach the ends of the earth. Mighty waves that rose to awesome heights and crashed with a deafening roar terrified the monkeys. Unsure of what lay beyond and intimidated with what they now saw, the baffled bands sat huddled. Seeing his troops swaying between fear and anxiety, Angada said "Of Sita there is no news but there is no doubt of Sugriva's fury at our failure. His cruelty will never permit forgiveness. It is better that we die here, than be put to death at Kishkinda where it will cause pain to our families and friends". Though Angada's words saddened the army they agreed with him "Yes, Sugriva is merciless, Rama pines for Sita, of whom we have no information! So death for us is imminent at Kishkinda. We either find Sita or die here. It is unwise for the errant to ever meet their king!" It was then that Susena suggested a remedy for their troubles. "Let us all hide in the magical cave with out fear of either Sugriva or Rama" and the Vanaras agreed with him.
