ततस्ते हरयः सर्वे प्राकारपरिखान्तरात्। निष्क्रम्योदग्रसत्त्वास्तु तस्थुराविष्कृतं तदा
Then all those monkeys, of exalted strength, emerged from between the walls and moats, and stood revealed.
सुग्रीवस्य प्रमादं च पूर्वजस्यार्थमात्मवान्। दृष्ट्वा क्रोधवशं वीरः पुनरेव जगाम सः
Observing Sugrīva’s negligence and recalling his elder brother’s purpose, the self-possessed hero again fell under the sway of anger.
स दीर्घोष्णमहोच्छ्वासः कोपसंरक्तलोचनः। बभूव नरशार्दूलः सधूम इव पावकः
That tiger among men, with long, hot sighs and eyes reddened by wrath, appeared like a smoking fire.
बाणशल्यस्फुरज्जिह्वः सायकासनभोगवान्। स्वतेजोविषसम्भूतः पञ्चास्य इव पन्नगः
With tongue flickering like an arrow’s point, bearing the bow and arrows, his own energy like venom, he resembled a five-headed serpent.
सोऽङ्गदं रोषताम्राक्षः संदिदेश महायशाः। सुग्रीवः कथ्यतां वत्स ममागमनमित्युत
Then the illustrious Lakṣmaṇa, his eyes reddened with anger, instructed Aṅgada: 'O child, announce to Sugrīva my arrival.'
एष रामानुजः प्राप्तस्त्वत्सकाशमरिंदम। भ्रातुर्व्यसनसंतप्तो द्वारि तिष्ठति लक्ष्मणः
'Here stands Lakṣmaṇa, Rāma’s younger brother, distressed by his brother’s misfortune, at your door, O subduer of foes.'
तस्य वाक्यं यदि रुचिः क्रियतां साधु वानर। इत्युक्त्वा शीघ्रमागच्छ वत्स वाक्यमरिंदम
'If you approve his words, act accordingly, O monkey. Having said this, come quickly, child, at the command of the subduer of foes.'
लक्ष्मणस्य वचः श्रुत्वा शोकाविष्टोऽङ्गदोऽब्रवीत्। पितुः समीपमागम्य सौमित्रिरयमागतः
Hearing Lakṣmaṇa’s words, Aṅgada, overcome with grief, said, 'Saumitra has come here, approaching my father.'
अथाङ्गदस्तस्य सुतीव्रवाचा सम्भ्रान्तभावः परिदीनवक्त्रः। निर्गत्य पूर्वं नृपतेस्तरस्वी ततो रुमायाश्चरणौ ववन्दे
Then Aṅgada, deeply troubled by those harsh words, his face dejected and anxious, swiftly went out before the king and then bowed at Rumā’s feet.
संगृह्य पादौ पितुरुग्रतेजा जग्राह मातुः पुनरेव पादौ। पादौ रुमायाश्च निपीडयित्वा निवेदयामास ततस्तदर्थम्
Seizing his father’s feet, the mighty Aṅgada next took hold of his mother’s feet, and after pressing Rumā’s feet as well, he conveyed the matter to them.
स निद्राक्लान्तसंवीतो वानरो न विबुद्धवान्। बभूव मदमत्तश्च मदनेन च मोहितः
That monkey, wrapped in sleep and exhaustion, did not awaken; he was intoxicated with wine and deluded by passion.
ततः किलकिलां चक्रुर्लक्ष्मणं प्रेक्ष्य वानराः। प्रसादयन्तस्तं क्रुद्धं भयमोहितचेतसः
Then, seeing Lakṣmaṇa, the monkeys made a clamor, trying to appease him, their minds bewildered by fear.
ते महौघनिभं दृष्ट्वा वज्राशनिसमस्वनम्। सिंहनादं समं चक्रुर्लक्ष्मणस्य समीपतः
Seeing Lakṣmaṇa, whose roar was like a great flood and whose voice resembled thunder and lightning, they raised a lion’s roar together near him.
तेन शब्देन महता प्रत्यबुध्यत वानरः। मदविह्वलताम्राक्षो व्याकुलः स्रग्विभूषणः
Awakened by that great sound, the monkey, his eyes reddened by intoxication, confused and adorned with garlands and ornaments, became alert.
अथाङ्गदवचः श्रुत्वा तेनैव च समागतौ। मन्त्रिणौ वानरेन्द्रस्य सम्मतोदारदर्शनौ
Then, having heard Aṅgada’s words and with his arrival, the two counselors of the monkey king, esteemed and noble in appearance, came together.
प्लक्षश्चैव प्रभावश्च मन्त्रिणावर्थधर्मयोः। वक्तुमुच्चावचं प्राप्तं लक्ष्मणं तौ शशंसतुः
Plakṣa and Prabhāva, the two counselors skilled in meaning and righteousness, informed Lakṣmaṇa, who had come to speak on various matters.
प्रसादयित्वा सुग्रीवं वचनैः सार्थनिश्चितैः। आसीनं पर्युपासीनौ यथा शक्रं मरुत्पतिम्
Having appeased Sugrīva with well-considered words, they sat near him as attendants, just as the Maruts attend Indra, the lord of the winds.
सत्यसंधौ महाभागौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ। मनुष्यभावं सम्प्राप्तौ राज्यार्हौ राज्यदायिनौ
The two brothers, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, are devoted to truth and greatly illustrious; though they have taken human form, they are worthy of kingship and bestowers of sovereignty.
तयोरेको धनुष्पाणिर्द्वारि तिष्ठति लक्ष्मणः। यस्य भीताः प्रवेपन्तो नादान् मुञ्चन्ति वानराः
Of the two, one stands at the door holding a bow—Lakṣmaṇa—at whom the monkeys, trembling with fear, do not dare to make a sound.
स एष राघवभ्राता लक्ष्मणो वाक्यसारथिः। व्यवसायरथः प्राप्तस्तस्य रामस्य शासनात्
This is Lakṣmaṇa, Rāghava’s brother, skilled in speech and resolute in action, who has come here at Rāma’s command.
अयं च तनयो राजंस्ताराया दयितोऽङ्गदः। लक्ष्मणेन सकाशं ते प्रेषितस्त्वरयानघ
And this is your son, O King, Aṅgada, beloved of Tārā, who has been sent to you by Lakṣmaṇa in great haste, O faultless one.
सोऽयं रोषपरीताक्षो द्वारि तिष्ठति वीर्यवान्। वानरान् वानरपते चक्षुषा निर्दहन्निव
He, whose eyes are inflamed with anger, stands at the door, valiant, as if burning the monkeys with his gaze, O monkey king.
तस्य मूर्ध्ना प्रणामं त्वं सपुत्रः सहबान्धवः। गच्छ शीघ्रं महाराज रोषो ह्यद्योपशाम्यताम्
You, O great king, along with your son and relatives, go quickly and bow your head to him, so that his anger may subside today.
यथा हि रामो धर्मात्मा तत्कुरुष्व समाहितः। राजंस्तिष्ठ स्वसमये भव सत्यप्रतिश्रवः
Just as Rāma is righteous, so act with resolve, O King; remain true to your promise and keep to your duty.
thumb|द्वात्रिंशः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे द्वात्रिंशः सर्गः ॥४-
Listen to the thirty-second sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa.
अङ्गदस्य वचः श्रुत्वा सुग्रीवः सचिवैः सह। लक्ष्मणं कुपितं श्रुत्वा मुमोचासनमात्मवान्
Hearing Angada's words, Sugriva, together with his counselors, upon hearing that Lakshmana was angry, rose from his seat, composed.
स च तानब्रवीद् वाक्यं निश्चित्य गुरुलाघवम्। मन्त्रज्ञान् मन्त्रकुशलो मन्त्रेषु परिनिष्ठितः
Having weighed the gravity and lightness of the situation, he addressed them, skilled in counsel, expert in deliberation, and accomplished in the art of advice.
न मे दुर्व्याहृतं किंचिन्नापि मे दुरनुष्ठितम्। लक्ष्मणो राघवभ्राता क्रुद्धः किमिति चिन्तये
I have not spoken wrongly, nor have I acted improperly; yet Lakshmana, the brother of Raghava, is angry—why, I wonder.
असुहृद्भिर्ममामित्रैर्नित्यमन्तरदर्शिभिः। मम दोषानसम्भूतान् श्रावितो राघवानुजः
My enemies, who are ever watchful and hostile, have surely made Lakshmana, Raghava's younger brother, hear of faults not arising from me.
अत्र तावद् यथाबुद्धिः सर्वैरेव यथाविधि। भावस्य निश्चयस्तावद् विज्ञेयो निपुणं शनैः
Here, then, according to each one's understanding and as prescribed, the determination of the situation must be carefully and thoroughly discerned.
