Three Sanskrit shlokas open the kanda: a salute to Shri Rama, Lord of the world who took human form through maya; a prayer for full bhakti and a mind free of desire; a bow to Hanuman, whose body shines like a golden mountain. Then the katha resumes. Jambavan's words delight Hanuman. He asks the monkeys to wait, living on roots and fruit, until he returns having seen Sita. He springs from a hill on the shore with Rama in his heart, and the hill sinks into Patala. He flies like Rama's unfailing arrow. The Ocean sends Mainaka to rest him. Hanuman touches the mountain, bows, and says there is no rest for him before Rama's work is done.
