सर्वे वयमपि प्राप्तास्तत्र गन्तुं कृतक्षणाः। स यत्र हरिवीराणां सुग्रीवः पतिरव्ययः
We too are all ready to go there, where Sugrīva, the imperishable lord of the monkey heroes, is.
त्वया ह्यनुक्तैर्हरिभिर्नैव शक्यं पदात् पदम्। क्वचिद् गन्तुं हरिश्रेष्ठ ब्रूमः सत्यमिदं तु ते
Without your command, O best of monkeys, these monkeys could not move even a step anywhere; we speak this truth to you.
एवं तु वदतां तेषामङ्गदः प्रत्यभाषत। साधु गच्छाम इत्युक्त्वा खमुत्पेतुर्महाबलाः
As they were speaking thus, Angada replied, 'Well then, let us go,' and the mighty ones leapt up into the sky.
उत्पतन्तमनूत्पेतुः सर्वे ते हरियूथपाः। कृत्वाऽऽकाशं निराकाशं यन्त्रोत्क्षिप्ता इवोपलाः
All those monkey chiefs leapt up together, making the sky seem emptied, as if stones had been flung by a machine.
अङ्गदं पुरतः कृत्वा हनूमन्तं च वानरम्। तेऽम्बरं सहसोत्पत्य वेगवन्तः प्लवङ्गमाः
Placing Angada at the front and Hanuman among them, those swift vanaras suddenly sprang into the air.
विनदन्तो महानादं घना वातेरिता यथा। अङ्गदे समनुप्राप्ते सुग्रीवो वानरेश्वरः
Roaring with a mighty sound, like clouds driven by the wind, when Angada arrived, Sugriva, lord of the monkeys—
उवाच शोकसंतप्तं रामं कमललोचनम्। समाश्वसिहि भद्रं ते दृष्टा देवी न संशयः
—spoke to Rama, lotus-eyed and distressed with grief: 'Take heart, good fortune to you; the Lady has been seen, without doubt.'
नागन्तुमिह शक्यं तैरतीतसमयैरिह। अङ्गदस्य प्रहर्षाच्च जानामि शुभदर्शन
'It would not be possible for them to return here, having exceeded the time limit, O auspicious one; and from Angada’s joy I know the Lady with auspicious appearance has been found.'
न मत्सकाशमागच्छेत् कृत्ये हि विनिपातिते। युवराजो महाबाहुः प्लवतामङ्गदो वरः
'The mighty-armed Angada, foremost among the vanaras and prince, would not have come to me if the task had failed.'
यद्यप्यकृतकृत्यानामीदृशः स्यादुपक्रमः। भवेत् तु दीनवदनो भ्रान्तविप्लुतमानसः
'If their mission had not succeeded, their approach would be like this: with downcast faces, minds confused and dejected.'
पितृपैतामहं चैतत् पूर्वकैरभिरक्षितम्। न मे मधुवनं हन्याददृष्ट्वा जनकात्मजाम्
'This Madhuvana, protected by my ancestors and forefathers, would not have been destroyed by them without having seen Janaka’s daughter.'
कौसल्या सुप्रजा राम समाश्वसिहि सुव्रत। दृष्टा देवी न संदेहो न चान्येन हनूमता
'Kausalya’s noble son, Rama, take heart, O steadfast one; the Lady has been seen, there is no doubt, and by none other than Hanuman.'
नह्यन्यः कर्मणो हेतुः साधनेऽस्य हनूमतः। हनूमतीह सिद्धिश्च मतिश्च मतिसत्तम
'For there is no other cause for the accomplishment of this task than Hanuman; in Hanuman are success and the highest intelligence.'
व्यवसायश्च शौर्यं च श्रुतं चापि प्रतिष्ठितम्। जाम्बवान् यत्र नेता स्यादङ्गदश्च हरीश्वरः
'Where Jambavan is leader, Angada is lord of the monkeys, and Hanuman is the chief, there are resolve, courage, and established wisdom.'
हनूमांश्चाप्यधिष्ठाता न तत्र गतिरन्यथा। मा भूश्चिन्तासमायुक्तः सम्प्रत्यमितविक्रम
'Where Hanuman presides, there can be no other outcome; do not be troubled with anxiety now, O one of measured valor.'
यदा हि दर्पितोदग्राः संगताः काननौकसः। नैषामकृतकार्याणामीदृशः स्यादुपक्रमः
'When these forest-dwellers, proud and exuberant, come together, such a return would not be possible if their task were unaccomplished.'
वनभङ्गेन जानामि मधूनां भक्षणेन च। ततः किलकिलाशब्दं शुश्रावासन्नमम्बरे
'From the destruction of the grove and the eating of the honey, I know; then, a clamor, a rattling sound, was heard nearby in the sky.'
हनूमत्कर्मदृप्तानां नदतां काननौकसाम्। किष्किन्धामुपयातानां सिद्धिं कथयतामिव
'Of the forest-dwelling monkeys, exultant in Hanuman’s deed, roaring as they approached Kishkindha, as if announcing their success.'
ततः श्रुत्वा निनादं तं कपीनां कपिसत्तमः। आयताञ्चितलाङ्गूलः सोऽभवद्हृष्टमानसः
Then, hearing that roar of the monkeys, the best of monkeys, with long, uplifted tail, became confident in heart.
आजग्मुस्तेऽपि हरयो रामदर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः। अङ्गदं पुरतः कृत्वा हनूमन्तं च वानरम्
Those monkeys too arrived, desiring to see Rama, placing Angada at the front and Hanuman among them.
तेऽङ्गदप्रमुखा वीराः प्रहृष्टाश्च मुदान्विताः। निपेतुर्हरिराजस्य समीपे राघवस्य च
Those heroes, led by Angada, joyful and filled with gladness, descended near the monkey king and also near Raghava.
हनूमांश्च महाबाहुः प्रणम्य शिरसा ततः। नियतामक्षतां देवीं राघवाय न्यवेदयत्
Then Hanuman, mighty-armed, bowed his head and reported to Rama that the goddess was unharmed and steadfast.
दृष्टा देवीति हनुमद्वदनादमृतोपमम्। आकर्ण्य वचनं रामो हर्षमाप सलक्ष्मणः
Hearing Hanuman's words, 'The goddess has been seen,' which were as pleasing as nectar, Rama, together with Lakshmana, was filled with joy.
निश्चितार्थं ततस्तस्मिन् सुग्रीवं पवनात्मजे। लक्ष्मणः प्रीतिमान् प्रीतं बहुमानादवैक्षत
Then Lakshmana, certain of the truth, looked with great affection and respect at Sugriva and the son of the Wind.
प्रीत्या च परयोपेतो राघवः परवीरहा। बहुमानेन महता हनूमन्तमवैक्षत
And Rama, destroyer of enemy heroes, filled with supreme joy and great esteem, looked upon Hanuman.
thumb|पञ्चषष्ठितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥५-
Listen to the sixty-fifth sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Sundara Kāṇḍa.
ततः प्रस्रवणं शैलं ते गत्वा चित्रकाननम्। प्रणम्य शिरसा रामं लक्ष्मणं च महाबलम्
Then, having gone to Mount Prasravana and the beautiful forest, they bowed their heads to Rama and mighty Lakshmana.
युवराजं पुरस्कृत्य सुग्रीवमभिवाद्य च। प्रवृत्तिमथ सीतायाः प्रवक्तुमुपचक्रमुः
Placing Sugriva, the prince, at the forefront and offering him respect, they began to report the news of Sita.
रावणान्तःपुरे रोधं राक्षसीभिश्च तर्जनम्। रामे समनुरागं च यथा च नियमः कृतः
They told of her confinement in Ravana's inner chambers, the threats from the demonesses, her devotion to Rama, and her observance of vows.
एतदाख्याय ते सर्वं हरयो रामसंनिधौ। वैदेहीमक्षतां श्रुत्वा रामस्तूत्तरमब्रवीत्
Having recounted all this before Rama, the monkeys, upon hearing that Vaidehi was unharmed, awaited Rama's further words.
