Happy that he had Rama's support Sugriva was sure that his trouble would soon end. Aware of Rama's purpose in visiting the dense, forbidding forest devoid of all human habitation he said, "I know that Sita was stolen and Jatayu was slain byRavana. Just as Lord Visnu restored the Vedas, so shall I get back Sita.The abductors shall pay for their evil and the inescapable consequence will be as deadly as the consumption of poisonous food. Even if she is in depths of the ocean or in the expanse of the sky, Sita will be found. I have seen her being stolen and heard her cries of distress". Sugriva then fetched the little bundle of jewels that Sita had dropped while being carried away. Looking at them Rama was moved to tears and felt faint. He showed them to Lakshmana who recognized only the anklets, as he was wont to worship Sita's feet every day. He had no knowledge of the other ornaments. Rama asked Sugriva, "Where do you think Ravana has hidden Sita? Where is he who by stealing her provokes my wrath and invites his own death? Tell me Sugriva, and I shall destroy him this very moment".
