In India’s Great Epic Ramayan, when time come to cross 100 Yojan’s (or 400 Kos) immeasurable limitless ocean, no one from any apes was able to do so at that time Jambavan, the king of bears, having been reminded quiescent divine powers and limitless strength of Anjaneyar (Anjaniputra) Hanuman that he is the Manasputra of Wind God Vaayu (Pawansut) and eleventh avatar of Rudra (Shankarsuvan), finally remembering his forgotten immeasurable strong powers, Veer (Kesarinandan) Hanuman comes in Virat Roop (Giant form) and tells that I will jump this sea in a leap only. Then Pawanputra Hanuman leapt from India to Sri Lanka in search of Mata Sita.
