Sundara Kaanda Sargas 60
Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 60
In this Sarga, Aṅgada, agreeing with Hanumān, suggests that they should take Jānaki with them before going back to Rāma. But Jāmbavan disagrees saying that it is not in alignment with what Rāma intended.

Hearing his words, the son of Vāli said:
There seems to be some Ṡlōkas missing in this Sarga, which should have been present between the Ṡlōkas 6 and 7. Jāmbavan’s response to Sugreeva, for example, is more detailed in the translation of N. Raghunathan, which is as follows:
When he thus declared his mind, the worthy Jambavan, who was experienced in worldly matters, objected for a relevant reason, while affectionately applauding his motive, ‘ What you say, O great ape, would not be the right course to follow, immensely sagacious as you are. We were ordered to search the great Southern quarter; but neither the King of the apes nor the wise Rama told us to bring Sita with us. Raghava, that tiger among men, keeping in mind the dignity of his own race, would hardly like the idea of Sita being brought back by us somehow. Having vowed in the presence of the ape chiefs that he would himself win back Sita, how could that King go back on his word? All that we have done would be so much labour wasted. It would give him no satisfaction. All the prowess so far displayed would prove of no account, great apes. So we shall go to the place where Rama and Lakshmana and Sugriva of the immense power are to be found and acquaint them with what we have done. It is not, O Prince, as if the course you have suggested is improper; but we should seek to achieve our object in conformity with Rama’s own ideas and wishes.’

O Vānaras! Having found her,

O Prince! It is not that inappropriate

but you shall see what would accomplish the object
in alignment with what Rāma has in mind.
