Summary
Hanuman sees Sita devi in captivity. Since Shehas not seen Hanuman before and therefore had
doubts about his intentions, Hanuman brings to
Her memory accurately various past incidents which
involved Rama and Her together and with others.
Finally he hands over a ring worn by Rama,
thus making Her immensely joyful and
dispels all Her doubts.
