On returning to His ashrama after killing Mareecha, Sri Rama found the ashrama empty. He moved on in the forest in search of Sita. First He saw Jatayu, who was hurt by Ravana. He learned about Ravana kidnapping Sita. He moved on and killed Kabandha on the way. Then He met Shabari in Matangavana and received her hospitality. Then he saw Hanuman and Sugreeva on Rishyamuka Hill. Hanuman approached Sri Rama and prostrated at His feet. With this, the fifth chapter of Tatparya Nirnaya closes.
