After assigning suitable forces to all the four directions to find out the whereabouts of Seetha, Sugreeva heaved a long sigh of relief. Then something occurred to him and he hurriedly shouted for Hanuman. The task-force of Angada under whom Hanuman was attached, almost left. Hearing the shout of the king, all of them halted. And Hanuman approached Sugreeva and waited for further instructions. Sugreeva looked at him for a long moment and nodded. Then he told Hanuman "Oh, my dear Hanuman, I purposely did not make you to lead any of the task forces set up for the search of Seetha for the reason that I want you to be free from any responsibility other than to find out where Seetha is kept. And I attached you to the task force being sent southwards for the reason that I strongly feel that Seetha will be there as that rakshash Ravana was taking her in that direction.
"With your unusual mobility, unstoppable celerity, unremitting vivacity, and untold ability you emulate your father Maaruti, the Air-god of marvelling dynamism. I am positive that with your brawniness, astuteness, venturesomeness, ethicism, the manner in which you conduct yourself in abidance with time, place and ethicality, you will be the one who is going to find Seetha."
Rama heard what Sugreeva was telling Hanuman. He was very much impressed. On looking at Hanuman, Rama got a gut-feeling that Hanuman was definitely going to find where Seetha was. He gave Hanuman his ring that was shining forth with his own name engraved in it and told him "Dear Hanuman, I am inclined to agree with Sugreeva in toto. Please keep this emblematic ring. Seeing this, Seetha will know that you have come from me and accept you. Oh, my dear chap, your enthusiasm, vital-force combined with your venturesomeness are heralding achievement to me."

Hanuman kept that ring safely and securely on his head, and making palm-fold he reverenced the feet of Rama, and then joined his task force. When Hanuman started along with the task-force, Rama shouted at him "Oh, highly powerful Hanuman, I rely upon your vivacity, being the best venturesome vanara, oh, son of Vayu, showing your adventures that are not inconsequential you make happen as to how access can be gained to Janaka's daughter, Seetha." .

The detailed instructions and descriptions of every mountain and other aspects in the four directions by Sugreeva are very impressive! Wish somebody research and locate these places and their current names for the benefit of progeny (if not done already!)
