The Signet Ring

Previously: Rama Kills Vali, and Sugreeva's throne is restored. 

Sugreeva  now spared his monkey force led by great warriors like Maruti, Angada and Jambuvanta to help Rama in his search of Sita. Rama described his wife's features to Maruti to enable him to find her out. He also gave his signet ring which Sita could identify.
