Vanaras are told to travel west

For the vanaras going to the west, Sugriva said -
Explore everything carefully. Do think twice before exploring. From the land of Sindhu, Malaya and Kaveri cross the land of Krimi and then come to garden of Ketaki. You will find the place full of screw pine plants. While the flowers have a wonderful smell, beware of the leaves which are sharp like swords. Swiftly cross this place. After that you will come to a garden of palms, Enjoy the fruits of the trees.
Further west, you will find mountains with large peaks. If you do not see Sita there, travel further till you come to the Chnadrabhana mountain. Look for Sita there. Then you will see the Chakravana mountain, where you see the bones of an asura from which the Sudarshana chakra was formed. This was the place where Vishnu had killed the asura Hayagriva. From the bones, the chakra was made and Vishnu became known as Chakradhari (holder of the chakra).
if you do not see Sita there, look further in the Varaha mountains. Here lived Varuna. Travel further west if you do not see Sita there. Tread carefully as, there was a asura there called Naraka. If Sita is found, travel further till you come to the Sumeru mountain. On this mountain, at times, Shiva and Parvati lived. This was a wonderful place to visit. This was where the Sun set . There was nothing west of the Sumeru and the Sun did not travel there. Travel there and report back in a month.
