The time appointed by Sugriva for finding out the whereabouts of Sita in the southern quarter having been exceeded in ransacking the caves of the Vindhyan range, which were hard to explore, Hanuman and others, who were tormented with hunger and thirst, catch sight of a cave known by the name of Rkshabila. Concluding, from the presence of birds with wet wings at the entrance of the cave, that there must be water inside, the monkeys enter the cave, which was enveloped in thick darkness, in a line holding the hand of one another. Proceeding to a short distance, the monkeys behold an ascetic woman in a strange spot illumined by trees of gold. Greeting her, Hanuman inquires of her the name of the place.
