Sunderkand is the fifth book in the Ramayana. It depicts the adventures of Hanuman. Sunderkand is the only chapter of the Ramayana in which the hero is not Rama, but rather Hanuman. Hanuman’s selflessness, strength, and devotion to Rama are emphasized in the text. Hanuman was fondly called Sundara by his mother Anjani and Sage Valmiki chose this name over others as this kand deals mainly with Hanuman’s journey to Lanka.
