तच्चापि जानामि तथाविषह्यं बलं नरश्रेष्ठ शरीरजस्य। जानामि यस्मिंश्च जनेऽवबद्धं कामेन सुग्रीवमसक्तमद्य
I also know, O best of men, how unbearable is the power of bodily passion; I know in whom desire has now bound Sugrīva so that he is attached and heedless.
न कामतन्त्रे तव बुद्धिरस्ति त्वं वै यथा मन्युवशं प्रपन्नः। न देशकालौ हि यथार्थधर्मा- ववेक्षते कामरतिर्मनुष्यः
Your mind is not governed by desire, for you have not fallen under the sway of anger; a man who delights in desire does not consider place, time, or true righteousness.
तं कामवृत्तं मम संनिकृष्टं कामाभियोगाच्च विमुक्तलज्जम्। क्षमस्व तावत् परवीरहन्त- स्त्वद्भ्रातरं वानरवंशनाथम्
Forgive, then, your brother, the lord of the monkey race, who is close to me, whose conduct is driven by desire, and who, overcome by passion, has lost his sense of shame, O slayer of enemy heroes.
महर्षयो धर्मतपोऽभिरामाः कामानुकामाः प्रतिबद्धमोहाः। अयं प्रकृत्या चपलः कपिस्तु कथं न सज्जेत सुखेषु राजा
Even great sages, devoted to righteousness and austerity, become bound by delusion through desire; this monkey king is by nature fickle—how could a king like him not become attached to pleasures?
इत्येवमुक्त्वा वचनं महार्थं सा वानरी लक्ष्मणमप्रमेयम्। पुनः सखेदं मदविह्वलाक्षी भर्तुर्हितं वाक्यमिदं बभाषे
Having spoken these weighty words, that monkey lady, her eyes unsteady with emotion, again addressed Lakṣmaṇa, immeasurable in might, speaking words for her husband's good, though weary.
उद्योगस्तु चिराज्ञप्तः सुग्रीवेण नरोत्तम। कामस्यापि विधेयेन तवार्थप्रतिसाधने
O best of men, Sugrīva has long since ordered preparations, and even while subject to desire, he is intent on fulfilling your purpose.
आगता हि महावीर्या हरयः कामरूपिणः। कोटीः शतसहस्राणि नानानगनिवासिनः
Now, mighty monkeys of great strength, able to assume any form, have arrived—hundreds of thousands of crores, dwelling in various mountains.
तदागच्छ महाबाहो चारित्रं रक्षितं त्वया। अच्छलं मित्रभावेन सतां दारावलोकनम्
Therefore come, O strong-armed one; your conduct has preserved the bond of true friendship, and the sight of a wife is unwavering for the virtuous.
तारया चाभ्यनुज्ञातस्त्वरया वापि चोदितः। प्रविवेश महाबाहुरभ्यन्तरमरिंदमः
Thus permitted by Tāra or urged by her in haste, the mighty-armed subduer of enemies entered within.
ततः सुग्रीवमासीनं काञ्चने परमासने। महार्हास्तरणोपेते ददर्शादित्यसंनिभम्
Then he saw Sugrīva, radiant as the sun, seated on a most excellent golden throne, adorned with splendid coverings.
दिव्याभरणचित्राङ्गं दिव्यरूपं यशस्विनम्। दिव्यमाल्याम्बरधरं महेन्द्रमिव दुर्जयम्
He beheld him shining with divine ornaments, possessing a celestial form and fame, wearing heavenly garlands and garments, unconquerable like mighty Indra.
दिव्याभरणमाल्याभिः प्रमदाभिः समावृतम्। संरब्धतररक्ताक्षो बभूवान्तकसंनिभः
Surrounded by women adorned with celestial ornaments and garlands, his eyes reddened with excitement, he appeared like Death himself.
रुमां तु वीरः परिरभ्य गाढं वरासनस्थो वरहेमवर्णः। ददर्श सौमित्रिमदीनसत्त्वं विशालनेत्रः स विशालनेत्रम्
The golden-hued hero, seated on the splendid throne, tightly embraced Rumā, and with his wide eyes, gazed upon Saumitri, whose spirit was undiminished and whose eyes were also wide.
thumb|चतुस्त्रिंशः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे चतुस्त्रिंशः सर्गः ॥४-
Let the thirty-fourth sarga be heard in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa.
तमप्रतिहतं क्रुद्धं प्रविष्टं पुरुषर्षभम्। सुग्रीवो लक्ष्मणं दृष्ट्वा बभूव व्यथितेन्द्रियः
Seeing Lakṣmaṇa, the foremost of men, enter, unimpeded and enraged, Sugrīva became agitated in his senses.
क्रुद्धं निःश्वसमानं तं प्रदीप्तमिव तेजसा। भ्रातुर्व्यसनसंतप्तं दृष्ट्वा दशरथात्मजम्
Seeing the son of Dasharatha, angered, breathing heavily, blazing with radiance, and tormented by his brother’s distress,
उत्पपात हरिश्रेष्ठो हित्वा सौवर्णमासनम्। महान् महेन्द्रस्य यथा स्वलंकृत इव ध्वजः
The foremost among monkeys sprang up, abandoning his golden seat, like a great, splendidly adorned banner of Indra.
उत्पतन्तमनूत्पेतू रुमाप्रभृतयः स्त्रियः। सुग्रीवं गगने पूर्णं चन्द्रं तारागणा इव
As he leapt up, Rumā and the other women also rose, like stars surrounding the full moon in the sky, with Sugriva.
संरक्तनयनः श्रीमान् संचचार कृताञ्जलिः। बभूवावस्थितस्तत्र कल्पवृक्षो महानिव
With bloodshot eyes, radiant, hands joined in reverence, he moved about and stood there, like a great wish-fulfilling tree.
रुमाद्वितीयं सुग्रीवं नारीमध्यगतं स्थितम्। अब्रवील्लक्ष्मणः क्रुद्धः सतारं शशिनं यथा
Lakshmana, angered, spoke to Sugriva, who was with Rumā, surrounded by women, as the moon is with stars.
सत्त्वाभिजनसम्पन्नः सानुक्रोशो जितेन्द्रियः। कृतज्ञः सत्यवादी च राजा लोके महीयते
A king endowed with strength, noble lineage, compassion, self-control, gratitude, and truthfulness is honored in the world.
यस्तु राजा स्थितोऽधर्मे मित्राणामुपकारिणाम्। मिथ्या प्रतिज्ञां कुरुते को नृशंसतरस्ततः
But if a king, established in unrighteousness, makes false promises to his benefactors, who could be more cruel than he?
शतमश्वानृते हन्ति सहस्रं तु गवानृते। आत्मानं स्वजनं हन्ति पुरुषः पुरुषानृते
For breaking a promise about horses, one kills a hundred; for cows, a thousand; but for breaking a promise to a person, he destroys himself and his kin.
पूर्वं कृतार्थो मित्राणां न तत्प्रतिकरोति यः। कृतघ्नः सर्वभूतानां स वध्यः प्लवगेश्वर
He who, having first received help from friends, does not reciprocate, is ungrateful to all beings and deserves death, O lord of monkeys.
गीतोऽयं ब्रह्मणा श्लोकः सर्वलोकनमस्कृतः। दृष्ट्वा कृतघ्नं क्रुद्धेन तन्निबोध प्लवंगम
This verse, sung by Brahma and revered by all worlds, was uttered in anger upon seeing ingratitude; listen to it, O monkey.
गोघ्ने चैव सुरापे च चौरे भग्नव्रते तथा। निष्कृतिर्विहिता सद्भिः कृतघ्ने नास्ति निष्कृतिः
For killing a cow, drinking liquor, theft, or breaking a vow, atonement is prescribed by the virtuous; but for ingratitude, there is no atonement.
अनार्यस्त्वं कृतघ्नश्च मिथ्यावादी च वानर। पूर्वं कृतार्थो रामस्य न तत्प्रतिकरोषि यत्
You are ignoble, ungrateful, and a liar, O monkey, for you do not reciprocate the help previously given by Rama.
ननु नाम कृतार्थेन त्वया रामस्य वानर। सीताया मार्गणे यत्नः कर्तव्यः कृतमिच्छता
Indeed, having received help from Rama, you ought to make every effort to search for Sita, if you desire to repay him.
स त्वं ग्राम्येषु भोगेषु सक्तो मिथ्याप्रतिश्रवः। न त्वां रामो विजानीते सर्पं मण्डूकराविणम्
You are attached to worldly pleasures, false in your promises; Rama does not recognize you as a snake disguised as a frog.
महाभागेन रामेण पापः करुणवेदिना। हरीणां प्रापितो राज्यं त्वं दुरात्मा महात्मना
By the great-hearted, compassionate Rama, you, wicked one, have been made king of the monkeys.
