On their long search, rama and laxmana reached rishyamukha mountains. Sugreeva spotted them, and impressed by their royal appearance sent his assistant monkey maruti (a. K. A. Hanuman), to befriend them. Rama was equally eager to meet sugreeva. Maruti then took them to sugreeva's forest court. Apparently, sugreeva had preserved the ornaments sita threw at him, as a symbol of identity, when rawana was carrying her away through air. Listening to rama's story, sugreeva showed the ornaments to rama, which he instantly recognized as his wife's. Rama's grief was great at the sight of lost sita's jewelry. Sugreeva promised him all help to find out sita's whereabouts. Rama in return promised to kill the usurper vali and get back sugreeva's lost kingdom.
