HE SEES HEER JEWELS

These words of Sugreeva made an impression on Raama's heart. He wiped the tears off his eyes and embraced Sugreeva. He

got over the weakness that possessed him at the sight of Seeta's jewels and recovered his fortitude and self-control.

"Sugreeva, your friendship is dear to me," he said. "I shall follow your advice. Think out when and how we should begin the search for Seeta. I shall make your cause mine, and place you on the throne of Kishkindha and I, who say this, have never uttered a vain or false word in my life and never will. Tell me frankly how I can bring you relief. I shall do it."

Sugreeva and his ministers were overjoyed to hear Raama's words. They were convinced that soon their troubles would end and Sugreeva would once again become king of the Vaanaras.
