Hanuman inquires of Sri Rama the purpose of his visit to Pampa. Having narrated to Hanuman his life story, as urged by Sri Rama, Lakshmana tells him that cultivation of friendship with Sugriva, in pursuance of the advice of Kabandha, was the purpose of their visit to the Pampa.
Observing that Sugriva was in a predicament similar to the one in which Sri Rama found himself placed and as such stood in need of Sri Rama's sympathy and goodwill, Hanuman resumes his real form and, placing Sri Rama and Lakshmana on his shoulders, reaches Rshyamuka.
