Hanuman meticulously observed the whole of Ashokavatika , which  has abundance of creepers of  Santhanaka with superior fragrance and juice, it has the resemblance of Nandana garden of celestials, resounded by numerous animals and birds, there were several mansions, reverberated with the chirping of cuckoos,  wells in various auspicious patterns, water sources filled with lilies and lotus flowers, beautifully festooned chairs, there were trees of  Ashoka, Karnikara and Kimshuka full of flowers hanging down to Earth due to its heaviness,  there were trees of  Punnaga, Sapthaparna, Champaka, Uddhala, there were trees of Ashoka shone in golden color, fire and precious gems/Nilanjana.  Ashokavatika has the resemblance of Nandana, garden of celestials.  It has the resemblance to Chaithraratha, marvelous garden of Lord Kubera, it is incomparable and has the perpetual glory, filled with alluring flowers of various fragrances of all seasons, resounded with the sounds of animals which has the similarity to the sky with the cluster of stars, ocean filled with various precious gems.  Hanuman witnessed a supreme place in the Ashokavatika filled with various fragrances like the thousand pillared Mount Gandhamadhana and the glorious Mount Kailasha with the stairs made of coral and golden platform, there was a woman in soiled garment surrounded by demons, she was shrunken due to continuous fast, she was miserable, she was releasing sigh of distress and has the look of crescent moon of bright fortnight came out like the tongued of fire which was shadowy by the smoke.  She was attired in wrinkled saffron garment, like lotus plant in mud without any flower.  She was timid and in a pitiable state, like Rohini was crushed by planet Mars.  Her face was overflowing with tears; she was in a wretched state, tormented with extreme grief, surrounded by dreadful demons, like a long lost female deer from its herds in the middle of woods during the end of rainy season.  Hanuman observed the women with dark cloud like eyes, murky clothes and very thin, instantly he guessed it must be Sita.  Though she can assume any form, she was in her original form while the demon was abducting her.   Hanuman saw gorgeous Sita who is dear to all, undergoes severe austerities has resemblance to full moon, attractive eyebrows, lotus petals like eyes, graceful bosom, rich black hair like Goddess, beautiful lips like Bimba fruit, stunning and firm waist and she was like Goddess Rathi, consort of Lord Manmatha.  Sita was sitting under the tree, sighing in utter despair, completely daunted by fear and sorrow, she was extremely tortured by the separation from her beloved husband Ramd, and she was gloomy and shrunken.  Her eyes were full of tears, she was helpless, she was not ornamented, and Hanuman gazed at her in disbelief.  Shortly he confirmed that it must be Sita who is chaste and she is not ornamented according to the Sasatra, she was wearing restricted ornaments, an earring, and ornament on her hands, there were ornaments and saffron garments on the trees and ground all over, the cloth she was wearing was worn out and murky.  Hanuman guessed the virtuous woman who has the radiance of gold must be the dear wife of Rama, Sita whose heart is with Rama, has the  beautiful appearances like long beautiful eyes like Rama and Rama who is equally tormented by the separation, compassion, grief and love.  Hanuman thought how did Rama continued to be alive at her separation?  Hanuman became extremely delightful after witnessing Sita and sincerely prayed to Rama.
