Hanūmān, hidden and silent in the śiṃśapā tree, heard those rākṣasīs as they fiercely threatened Sītā.
in the texts
Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The grove within Laṅkā where Sītā is held captive.
Arriving at Laṅkā, the city ruled by Rāvaṇa, he saw Sītā there, lost in thought, situated in the Aśoka grove.
Sītā's gift of the jewel, the breaking of the trees, the flight of the Rākṣasī women, and the slaying of the kiṃkara troops —
Thus instructed by Rāvaṇa, those demonesses took hold of Maithilī and went to the Aśoka grove.
