Recounting the virtues of Sri Rama to Sugriva, who had due to his love of the pleasures of sense forgotten all about Sri Rama'a business and was neglecting it even after the advent of autumn - and reminding him of the work of Sri Rama, Hanuman urges Sugriva to collect an army with a view to conducting a search for Sita. Awakened to a sense of his duty, Sugriva enjoins Nila to dispatch messengers to bring all the Vanara hordes together.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:47Translation: 05:52 - 14:45
