Hanuman delivers Sri Rama's signet ring to Sita in order to strengthen her confidence in him. Applauding Hanuman, Sita, who was rejoiced to receive the token, inquires about the health of Sri Rama and others. In order to appease the lady, who felt indignant at the thought that Sri Rama did not care to come to her rescue so far, which led her to suspect that he had ceased to love her, Hanuman attributes his non-appearance to his ignorance about her whereabouts. Describing Sri Rama's desolation in order to betoken his excessive love for her, he consoles her with the assurance that Sri Rama is sparing no pains to rescue her from her confinement.
