Having inspired confidence in the monkeys, Sampaati proceeds to relate to Angada and others, who longed to hear more about Sita, the story of Sita's abduction in greater detail. He tells them how, having fallen on the Vindhyan range with his wings completely burnt by the scorching sun, he swooned and regained consciousness only on the seventh day, when he came to know that it was the Vindhyan range on which he had fallen. Descending with difficulty from the eminence, he made his way into the hermitage of a sage named Nishakara, and bowed down to him. Recognising him to be Sampaati, the sage inquired as to how his wings had come to be burnt.

Interrogated by Jambavan as to how Sampaati came to know about Sita's abduction by Ravana, the vulture tells him that it was his son, Supaarshva, who related to him how, one day, while he was ranging along the seashore in search of food, he had seen a young lady, shining bright as gold, being borne away by an ogre, of whom he had come to know later on from the words of an eminent sage that they were no other than Sita and Ravana, respectively.

Sampati tells Angada how having once soared with his younger brother to the neighbourhood of the solar orb in his eagerness to test their relative strength and flying power, he had his own wings burnt in trying to save the wings of Jatayu by spreading his own wings over them as a canopy, and dropped on a peak of the Vindhyan range. Inquired by Angada if he knew anything about the abduction of Sita, he acknowledged his having seen a youthful lady being borne away by Ravana and crying out "Rama", which now leads him to think that she was no other than Sri Rama's beloved spouse. Sampati further tells Angada how, gifted as he was with an inordinately long vision, he could see Lanka, the capital of Ravana at a distance of one hundred Yojanas, as well as the place where Sita has been lodged. On his expressing a desire to offer water to the spirit of his deceased brother, the monkeys take him to the seashore and bring him back on his having concluded the rite.

Praising Providence out of joy at the prospect of deriving sustenance for a long time on seeing a band of monkeys even as it emerged from a cave of the Vindhyan range on hearing their noise, the vulture king, Sampati (the elder brother of Jatayu), expresses his determination to eat them all up one after another. Depressed to hear the vow and declaring Jatayu, who had met his death at the hands of Ravana in the service of Sri Rama, while trying to deliver Sita from the former's clutches, as more fortunate than any of them, who were threatened with death even before accomplishing the purpose of Sri Rama, Angada reproaches Kaikeyi who was at the root of the whole mischief. Distressed to hear these words of Angada and telling Angada that he was the elder brother of Jatayu, and at the same time inquiring about the death of his younger brother, Sampati requests Angada to help him slide down from his high post adding that, his wings having been burnt, he was unable to fly.

Sick of hearing the praises of Sugriva uttered by Hanuman and pointing out the faults of Sugriva and denouncing him, Angada proclaims to the monkeys his decision to undertake a fast unto death and actually sits down to fast. Condemning Sugriva with tears in their eyes and making the mountain caverns resound with their tale of woe commencing from the appearance of Sri Rama on the scene and ending with their determination to observe a fast unto death, the other monkeys too follow suit.

Seeking to divert the minds of the other monkeys from the rebellious note struck by Tara, whose advice readily found favour with Angada and others, Hanuman warns Angada of the dire consequences which were sure to follow in case he chose to stay away from home, and assuring him of Sugriva's amiability and disarming all his fears about him, tries to convince him that they had better return to Kishkindha and report themselves to their king.

While the monkeys were feeling dejected on coming out of the cave to see the tress covered with blossom, which led them to conclude that the latter half of winter had approached, Prince Angada reminds them of the fierceness of Sugriva and says that a fasting till death on their part will be preferable to an ignominious death at the latter's cruel hands. Another monkey general, Tara, for his part, suggests that they should take shelter in Svayamprabha's cave and thus escape the wrath of Sugriva, who dare not enter the cave. The monkeys fall in with the latter's view and make up their mind to re-enter the cave and take up their abode in it.

Narrating the whole story from the entry of Sri Rama into the forest round about the Pampa lake down to the entry of the monkeys into the cave, and complimenting Svayamprabha on the hospitality shown by her and wishing to repay her hospitality, Hanuman inquires of her if he can be of any service to her. Svayamprabha, however, declines his offer saying that, being engaged in the practice of virtue, she has no purpose to achieve through another.

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.

Asking the monkeys who accompanied him to the south and who had begun to feel diffident about their success to take note of the delay that was taking place in carrying out the command of Sugriva and to beware of Sugriva's wrath, which was sure to follow in consequence of the delay, Angada advises them to take heart and encourages them to pursue their search vigorously. Encouraged by his enlivening words, they sally forth once more to renew their search in the cave of the Silver Mountain and, getting exhausted after a strenuous search, repose awhile in a grove and get ready to resume their efforts.

Accompanied by Angada and others, Hanuman seeks for Sita in the dense forests and caves of the Vindhyan range. Making their way into a forest whose trees had ceased to flower and bear fruits because of a curse pronounced by Sage Kandu, overwhelmed with grief occasioned by the loss of his son, the monkeys, who felt exhausted due to exertion, behold a demon. As the latter swoops upon the monkeys with a raised fist, Angada makes short work of him thinking him to be Ravana. Feeling exhausted through peregrination in the forest, the monkeys seek the foot of a tree.

Even after scouring more than once the regions comprised in the quarter assigned to them, Vinata and others fail to get any clue to the whereabouts of Sita. Returning despondent even before a month, they bow down to Sri Rama and Sugriva and report their inability to find out Sita.

While Sugriva gave instructions to his various generals mentioning in detail the places they were to visit in the course of their expedition in search of Sita, Sri Rama was struck by the knowledge of world geography revealed by Sugriva and inquired of the latter how he had come to acquire such wonderful and accurate knowledge of geography. In reply to this Sugriva tells him of the encounter of Vali with Dundubhi, which led the former to conceive an inveterate hatred towards him (Sugriva) who then pursued by Vali had to range from one end of the world to another and this enabled him (Sugriva) to gather a first-hand knowledge of all parts of the globe.
