thumb|एकोनचत्वारिंशः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे एकोनचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥४-
Listen to the thirty-ninth sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa.
इति ब्रुवाणं सुग्रीवं रामो धर्मभृतां वरः। बाहुभ्यां सम्परिष्वज्य प्रत्युवाच कृताञ्जलिम्
Thus, as Sugriva was speaking, Rama, the best among upholders of dharma, embraced him with both arms and replied with joined palms.
यदिन्द्रो वर्षते वर्षं न तच्चित्रं भविष्यति। आदित्योऽसौ सहस्रांशुः कुर्याद् वितिमिरं नभः
It would not be surprising if Indra sends rain, nor if the sun with a thousand rays were to dispel the darkness from the sky.
चन्द्रमा रजनीं कुर्यात् प्रभया सौम्य निर्मलाम्। त्वद्विधो वापि मित्राणां प्रीतिं कुर्यात् परंतप
O gentle one, just as the moon makes the night pure and radiant with its light, so too does a friend like you bring joy to friends, O subduer of enemies.
एवं त्वयि न तच्चित्रं भवेद् यत् सौम्य शोभनम्। जानाम्यहं त्वां सुग्रीव सततं प्रियवादिनम्
Thus, O gentle one, it is not surprising that you act so nobly; I know you, Sugriva, as one who always speaks kindly.
त्वत्सनाथः सखे संख्ये जेतास्मि सकलानरीन्। त्वमेव मे सुहृन्मित्रं साहाय्यं कर्तुमर्हसि
With you as my ally, friend, I shall conquer all my enemies in battle; you alone are my friend and companion, worthy to assist me.
जहारात्मविनाशाय मैथिलीं राक्षसाधमः। वञ्चयित्वा तु पौलोमीमनुह्लादो यथा शचीम्
The vile rakshasa, for his own destruction, abducted Maithili, just as Anuhlada once deceived Shachi, the wife of Pauloma.
नचिरात् तं वधिष्यामि रावणं निशितैः शरैः। पौलोम्याः पितरं दृप्तं शतक्रतुरिवारिहा
Soon I shall slay that Ravana with sharp arrows, just as the destroyer of foes, Indra, killed the proud father of Paulomi.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे चैव रजः समभिवर्तत। उष्णतीव्रां सहस्रांशोश्छादयद् गगने प्रभाम्
Meanwhile, a cloud of dust arose, and the thousand-rayed sun's brilliance was veiled in the sky by its intense heat.
ततो नगेन्द्रसंकाशैस्तीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रैर्महाबलैः। कृत्स्ना संछादिता भूमिरसंख्येयैः प्लवंगमैः
Then the entire earth was covered by monkeys, countless in number, resembling mountain peaks, possessing sharp fangs and immense strength.
