THE TIDINGS CONVEYED

"Dear Vaanara friends," exclaimed the Prince of Ayodhya, "tell me where exactly Seeta is. How is she? How did you manage to see her? Tell me everything in detail." His eager enquiries came quick upon one another.

The other Vaanaras turned to Hanumaan who stood behind, and asked him to narrate all that he had seen and done. Hanumaan began to tell the tale. With his unrivalled courage and strength and single-handed, he bad performed a mighty task; and yet he did not push himself forward into the presence of Prince Raama or King Sugreeva, but gave precedence to Angada and the aged
Jaambavaan and the others, and was silent until they asked him to speak.
