There are two claimants for the monkey throne, Valin and Sugreva; Rama helps Sugreva win the throne, and in return Sugreva promises to help in the search for Sita. The monkey hordes set out in every direction to scour the world, but without success until an old vulture tells them she is in Lanka. Honuman promises to leap over the ocean to Lanka to pursue the search.
