Jambavan quivering with excitement rained questions upon Hanuman, wanting to know how he had saw Sita and where. How Ravana was treating her and what she had told Hanuman. He also wondered aloud how much of what Hanuman had seen should be told Rama and how much should be left unsaid. Hanuman, who was also overpowered by the thrill and commotion around him, mentally prostrated to Sita and started on his narration. Beginning from his meeting with Mainaka to his encounters with Surasa, Simhika and with the spirit of Lanka, Hanuman told his eager audience of every detail as they listened with rapt attention. He told them of how Sita was guarded by the demon squad, of her refusal to accept Ravana and of his fury at her rejection. The Vanaras heard of Trijata's dream. Of how Hanuman had convinced Sita that he was not the imposter she suspected him to be, but the messenger of Rama. He told them how he had instigated Ravana to war, how the rakshasas had captured him and of his escape from the jaws of death because of Vibhishana's intervention. Concluding with the episode of the burning of Lanka, Hanuman said, that since he had fulfilled Sugriva's command, by the grace of Rama and the goodwill of the Vanaras they should now plan their next move.
