During this period nothing was heard of Sugrīva, Hanūmān and Jāmbavān in Kiṣkindhā. Might be Sugrīva was no more. Hanūmān, after the death of Śrī Rāma, lived in Gandhamādana in Kimpuruṣavarṣa. (Bhārata and Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha). From the story of Prasena it may be seen that Jāmbavan left Kiṣkindhā and lived in another cave with his sons and other relations. It was the other two ministers of Sugrīva, Mainda and Dvivida, who were ruling Kiṣkindhā when Sahadeva went there. The power and prestige of Kiṣkindhā had begun to set by then, and in course of time Kiṣkindhā ceased to exist but in name.
