She ceased, and Hanumán replied,
By shape and threat unterrified:
“Brave Ráma with his Maithil spouse
Lodged in the shade of Daṇḍak’s boughs,
Thence Rávan king of giants stole
Sítá the joy of Ráma’s soul.
In plain words: Hanuman is not frightened. He explains that Rama and his wife Sita were living in the Dandak forest when Ravan, king of the demons, stole Sita away.
