Legend has it that Lord Krishna gave the Darshan of Rama to Jambhavan during His scuffle with Jambhavan.
Only then did jambhavan realized Lord Krishna and Rama were the same and gave his daughter jambhavati to Krishna in marriage.
It may be noted in scientific interest that Jambhavan belonged to a species that was dwindling during Krishna' period, Dwapara Yuga.
Vanara were yet another species, not monkeys as most of us believe
One has to read Valmiki in the original to know how modern his story telling skilling technics are , with crisp or elaborate narration as required by the scene,descriptions of people and places, Imagery, most modern Flash back technics in story telling.
Some of the Sargas are the best screen plays ever conceived.
There is one verse which summarises the entire story of Ramayana of 24'000 couplets in one two line verse!
This also must have been by Valmiki himself, as I am of he opinion, given his skills, none other than Valmiki could have even conceived this Sloka.
This is the Sloka.
