Then Sugreeva was happy as his thoughts have taken shape and said to Rama “Lord! The Vanaras under my command all of them have come.I have alighted them at appropriate places. They are like Dhaithyas in Courage, they are equal to Dhanavas(Demons), They are Famed; they do not know Tiredness; they have untiring efforts as their forte; Earth, Sky, Forest, Mountains, Oceans in these places they can move around without any obstructions. All are awaiting for your orders. All are praying for your well being only as they are Vanaras- **( Since Maha Vishnu took Avthar of Rama to Kill Ravana- the Rakshasaa had got boon that except Humans and Vanaras ie Monkeys no one else can kill him,Hence all the Devas, Ghandarvas, Apsaras{all inherently having super natural powers} took birth as Vananras throughout the Earth to assist Rama & thus also get an opportunity to be with Maha Vishnu at least until Ravana is killed). They are capable of accomplishing your Opinion.With these Vanaras and Bears , at this Juncture, what you think is appropriate, I pray that may be Commanded. I know what is to be done; but they all belong to you.; and are bound by your command. As you are the Lord of all of us You should give us the orders” said Sugreeva.
Hearing this Rama hugged Sugreeva with more affection” Do not know if Sita is still alive or not. Where has Ravana kept her ? these information they should obtain.

You are the Chief for this Task; You are the Lord of Vanaras ; what is to be done in this , you alone should order; that you know very well. You are my Friend ; you have been trained by Elders well, Valorous and courageous, Intelligent; You are aware of the Countries and Time dimensions and their cultures;you are our well wisher; till now you have accomplished many important tasks; there is none who knows Purusharthas {(1)Dharma-Righteous conduct- Duty- Pious- humble-Charity -being Noble (2)Material-money,(3)Desire-ambition-Children, (4) Moksha-Attain God’s feet} that thoroughly” said Rama to Sugreeva.
