Throughout the day they will search in Forests, Mountains for Sita and return to earth in the night . Without Food during the day time they had gone and searched all over for a month and finally tired , having lost their motivation in not finding Sita returned to Sugreeva and narrated their journeys and attempt.Vinatha and his Army also who had gone eastwards in search of Sita could not find her and returned. Satahbali went north and searched everywhere carefully not finding Sita returned. Similarly Sushena who went West unable to find Sita returned.All came back to Pirasravana Giri where Sugreeva was seated with Rama and said “ Lord!
