अथ दृष्ट्वा दधिमुखं क्रुद्धं वानरपुङ्गवाः। अभ्यधावन्त वेगेन हनुमत्प्रमुखास्तदा
Then, seeing Dadhimukha enraged, the foremost monkeys, led by Hanuman, rushed forward with speed.
सवृक्षं तं महाबाहुमापतन्तं महाबलम्। वेगवन्तं विजग्राह बाहुभ्यां कुपितोऽङ्गदः
Then, Angada, enraged, seized that mighty-armed, powerful, tree-bearing one, who was rushing forward with great speed, with both his arms.
मदान्धो न कृपां चक्रे आर्यकोऽयं ममेति सः। अथैनं निष्पिपेषाशु वेगेन वसुधातले
Blinded by arrogance, he showed no mercy, thinking, 'This is my elder,' and at once dashed him violently to the ground with force.
स भग्नबाहूरुमुखो विह्वलः शोणितोक्षितः। प्रमुमोह महावीरो मुहूर्तं कपिकुञ्जरः
With his arms, thighs, and face broken, covered in blood, that heroic vanara, reeling and overwhelmed, lost consciousness for a moment.
स कथंचिद् विमुक्तस्तैर्वानरैर्वानरर्षभः। उवाचैकान्तमागत्य स्वान् भृत्यान् समुपागतान्
Somehow freed from those vanaras, that foremost of monkeys, coming aside, spoke privately to his own attendants who had gathered around.
एतागच्छत गच्छामो भर्ता नो यत्र वानरः। सुग्रीवो विपुलग्रीवः सह रामेण तिष्ठति
'Come, let us go to where our lord, the vanara Sugriva of broad neck, is staying together with Rama.'
सर्वं चैवाङ्गदे दोषं श्रावयिष्याम पार्थिवे। अमर्षी वचनं श्रुत्वा घातयिष्यति वानरान्
'We will report all of Angada's wrongdoing to the king; when he, intolerant, hears these words, he will destroy the vanaras.'
इष्टं मधुवनं ह्येतत् सुग्रीवस्य महात्मनः। पितृपैतामहं दिव्यं देवैरपि दुरासदम्
'This Madhuvana truly belongs to the great-souled Sugriva, inherited from his father and grandfather, divine and difficult even for the gods to approach.'
स वानरानिमान् सर्वान् मधुलुब्धान् गतायुषः। घातयिष्यति दण्डेन सुग्रीवः ससुहृज्जनान्
'Sugriva will punish with the rod all these vanaras, together with their friends, who, greedy for honey, have forfeited their lives.'
वध्या ह्येते दुरात्मानो नृपाज्ञापरिपन्थिनः। अमर्षप्रभवो रोषः सफलो मे भविष्यति
'These wicked ones, who have transgressed the king's command, deserve death; the anger born of my indignation will bear fruit.'
एवमुक्त्वा दधिमुखो वनपालान् महाबलः। जगाम सहसोत्पत्य वनपालैः समन्वितः
Having spoken thus to the forest-guards, the mighty Dadhimukha swiftly departed, accompanied by the forest-guards.
निमेषान्तरमात्रेण स हि प्राप्तो वनालयः। सहस्रांशुसुतो धीमान् सुग्रीवो यत्र वानरः
In the span of a moment, that wise son of the thousand-rayed one reached the forest-dwelling where Sugriva, the vanara, was.
रामं च लक्ष्मणं चैव दृष्ट्वा सुग्रीवमेव च। समप्रतिष्ठां जगतीमाकाशान्निपपात ह
Seeing Rama, Lakshmana, and Sugriva himself, he descended from the sky to the earth, which stands equally firm.
स निपत्य महावीरः सर्वैस्तैः परिवारितः। हरिर्दधिमुखः पालैः पालानां परमेश्वरः
Having landed, that great hero, Dadhimukha, lord of the forest-guards, surrounded by all those guards, stood there.
स दीनवदनो भूत्वा कृत्वा शिरसि चाञ्जलिम्। सुग्रीवस्याशु तौ मूर्ध्ना चरणौ प्रत्यपीडयत्
With a sorrowful face, hands joined in reverence, he quickly pressed Sugriva's feet with his head.
thumb|त्रिषष्ठितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे त्रिषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥५-
Let the sixty-third sarga be heard in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundara Kāṇḍa.
ततो मूर्ध्ना निपतितं वानरं वानरर्षभः। दृष्ट्वैवोद्विग्नहृदयो वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह
Then, seeing the vanara fallen at his feet, the foremost of vanaras, with a troubled heart, spoke these words.
उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ कस्मात् त्वं पादयोः पतितो मम। अभयं ते प्रदास्यामि सत्यमेवाभिधीयताम्
'Rise, rise! Why have you fallen at my feet? I grant you safety—speak the truth and say what has happened.'
किं सम्भ्रमाद्धितं कृत्स्नं ब्रूहि यद् वक्तुमर्हसि। कच्चिन्मधुवने स्वस्ति श्रोतुमिच्छामि वानर
'Tell me, without confusion, everything that has happened, whatever you ought to say. Is all well in the Madhuvana? I wish to hear, O vanara.'
स समाश्वासितस्तेन सुग्रीवेण महात्मना। उत्थाय स महाप्राज्ञो वाक्यं दधिमुखोऽब्रवीत्
Thus reassured by the great-souled Sugrīva, the wise Dadhimukha rose and spoke these words.
नैवर्क्षरजसा राजन् न त्वया न च वालिना। वनं निसृष्टपूर्वं ते नाशितं तत्तु वानरैः
O King, neither by the dust of the trees, nor by you, nor by Vāli, was the grove ever before destroyed; it has now been laid waste by the monkeys.
न्यवारयमहं सर्वान् सहैभिर्वनचारिभिः। अचिन्तयित्वा मां हृष्टा भक्षयन्ति पिबन्ति च
I tried to restrain them all, along with these forest-dwellers, but, disregarding me, they joyfully ate and drank.
एभिः प्रधर्षणायां च वारितं वनपालकैः। मामप्यचिन्तयन् देव भक्षयन्ति वनौकसः
Even when the forest-guards forbade them from such violence, O lord, the forest-dwellers ignored me as well and continued to eat.
शिष्टमत्रापविध्यन्ति भक्षयन्ति तथापरे। निवार्यमाणास्ते सर्वे भ्रुकुटिं दर्शयन्ति हि
Some throw away what remains here, and others eat as they please; when restrained, they all scowl in anger.
इमे हि संरब्धतरास्तदा तैः सम्प्रधर्षिताः। निवार्यन्ते वनात् तस्मात् क्रुद्धैर्वानरपुङ्गवैः
Those who were most enraged then assaulted the guards, and the furious leaders of the monkeys drove them out of the forest.
ततस्तैर्बहुभिर्वीरैर्वानरैर्वानरर्षभाः। संरक्तनयनैः क्रोधाद्धरयः सम्प्रधर्षिताः
Then, by those many heroic monkeys, the foremost of monkeys, whose eyes were red with anger, the guards were violently attacked.
पाणिभिर्निहताः केचित् केचिज्जानुभिराहताः। प्रकृष्टाश्च तदा कामं देवमार्गं च दर्शिताः
Some were struck with fists, some were hit with knees; some were dragged about at will, and the path to the gods was shown to them.
एवमेते हताः शूरास्त्वयि तिष्ठति भर्तरि। कृत्स्नं मधुवनं चैव प्रकामं तैश्च भक्ष्यते
Thus, while you, the lord, remain, these brave ones have been slain, and the entire Madhuvana is being thoroughly consumed by them.
एवं विज्ञाप्यमानं तं सुग्रीवं वानरर्षभम्। अपृच्छत् तं महाप्राज्ञो लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा
While Dadhimukha was thus informing Sugrīva, the foremost of monkeys, the wise Lakṣmaṇa, destroyer of enemy heroes, questioned him.
किमयं वानरो राजन् वनपः प्रत्युपस्थितः। किं चार्थमभिनिर्दिश्य दुःखितो वाक्यमब्रवीत्
O King, for what reason has this monkey, the forest-guard, come here? And why, being distressed, did he speak these words?
