इति वाल्मीकि रामायणे आदि काव्ये किष्किन्धाकाण्डे एकचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥४-४१॥ Sarg 41 in EnglishSarg 41 - Directions to Southward Search Party Then Sugriva prepared another group under the leadership of Angad, in which several important Vanar were included - Neel, Wind's son Hanuman, Pitaamah's son Jaambvaan, Suhotra, Sharaarit, Shargulm, Gaj, Gavaaksh, Gavaya, Sushen, Vrishabh, Mayand, Dwivid, Gandhmaadan, Ulkaamukh and Anang (two sons of ritual-fire), Sugreev had selected this group before. When they were about to go, Sugreev told them about the impassable countries and difficult path and said - "Search on Vindhyaachal Parvat, to Narmadaa River which flows southerly to the range, then to Godaavaree, Krishnvenee, Mahaanadee, and Varadaa. Then go to the territories of Mekhalaa, Utkal, and the cities of Dashaarn. (see Southern Areas here). Also follow Abravantee and Avanti (present-day Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh) kingdoms and Vidarbh and Maheeshak kingdoms. Banga (present-day Bengal), Kalinga and Kaushika territories (in Orissa) and Dandaka Van. Search in Andhra, Chola (present-day Taamilnaadu), Pundra (between Andhra and Chola), Paandya (Kanyaakumaaree district), and Keral Pradesh Gokarn to Kanyaakumaaree - its historical name Cheraa Raajya and in Ashok's time it was called Keral Putra). Then you will come to Ayomukh Parvat and sandal Van of Malay Parvat. (This mountain is called Agastyamalai in Western Ghaat from which River Taamraparnee emerges.). Check near Kaaveree River also where Apsaraa come and dance. You will see Agastya Muni's Aashram there. Cross Taamraparnee River with the permission of Muni and cross it carefully because there live many crocodiles in it. The water is overlapped with sandalwood trees and islands. (see Taamraparnee River) Then you come to the castle door of Paandyan kingdom, continue your search there too. Then you proceed and you will arrive at the sea shore, then you think of crossing the sea according to your individual capacities of crossing the sea. In the middle of your way, you will find Mahendra Parvat which was established by Agastya Muni. (see Mountains in Kanyaakumaaree) It is all made of gold and is stood amidst waters. Devtaa, Rishi, Apsaraa, Siddh, Chaaran adore it and Indra comes here on every Amaavasyaa (new moon day) and beautify it. After crossing the sea, you will see an island of 100 Yojan breadth. No human being lives on it. Here you search for Seetaa properly, because this is Raavan's Desh and there he lives. (see "Why Did Sugreev Lie about Raavan?" here). In the midst of southward ocean there lives a Raakshasee named Angaarak who catches living beings through their shadow [fallen in the water], so be careful about her. From that point 100 Yojan onward up to in the sea is Pushpitak Parvat. It has very high peaks. Cruel, unfaithful and atheists cannot sea its peaks. Greet this Parvat and search it too. Further 14 Yojan you will find Sooryavaan Parvat, then you will see Vaidyut Parvat. This is full of blooming and fruit trees. You may eat thesew fruits and tubers and drink honey here and then go further. Next you will see Kunjar Parvat. Here Vishwakarmaa built a place for Agastya Muni. This place is one Yojan wide and 10 Yojan high. Here there is Bhogvatee Nagaree where snakes live, that is why it is impossible for human beings to go there. Here lives the king of snakes - Vasuki Naga. Many terrific snakes guard him. This place is studded in numerous gem stones. Go in this place very carefully and search for Seetaa. Next you will find Rishabh Parvat where all kinds of gems are found. Here divine sandal also grows which glows like fire, but you don't touch it with your hand in any case. Rohitaa named Gandharva species has been appointed to guard this sandal Van. Five pious Gandharva live there. Their bodies are like Soorya and Chandramaa's shine. Their names are Shailooshaa, Graamanee, Shiksh, Shuk and Babhru. After this there is no way to go because after this Prithvi ends and beyond that only Devtaa live. That is called Pitra Lok and is the capital of Yam Raaj. It is all dark, therefore you search for Seetaa only up to that place. And as soon as you find out about Seetaa, come back. Whoever will tell us "seen Seetaa" first he will enjoy this kingdom like me even if he has committed severe crimes still he will be my dear friend." And this group started on its journey.
