सुखार्हस्य महार्हस्य सर्वभूतहितात्मनः। ऐश्वर्येण विहीनस्य वनवासे रतस्य च
He, who deserves happiness and great honor, whose heart is set on the welfare of all beings, now deprived of sovereignty, delights in forest life.
रक्षसापहृता भार्या रहिते कामरूपिणा। तच्च न ज्ञायते रक्षः पत्नी येनास्य वा हृता
His wife was carried off by a demon, one who could assume any form, in a lonely place; neither the demon nor the fate of his wife is known.
दनुर्नाम दितेः पुत्रः शापाद् राक्षसतां गतः। आख्यातस्तेन सुग्रीवः समर्थो वानराधिपः
Danu, son of Diti, became a rakshasa by a curse; he told Sugriva, the powerful lord of the monkeys, about this.
स ज्ञास्यति महावीर्यस्तव भार्यापहारिणम्। एवमुक्त्वा दनुः स्वर्गं भ्राजमानो दिवं गतः
That mighty one will discover the abductor of your wife; having said this, Danu, shining, ascended to heaven.
एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं याथातथ्येन पृच्छतः। अहं चैव च रामश्च सुग्रीवं शरणं गतौ
All this has been told to you exactly as you asked; both Rama and I have sought refuge with Sugriva.
एष दत्त्वा च वित्तानि प्राप्य चानुत्तमं यशः। लोकनाथः पुरा भूत्वा सुग्रीवं नाथमिच्छति
He, having given away wealth and attained supreme fame, once lord of the world, now seeks Sugriva as his protector.
सीता यस्य स्नुषा चासीच्छरण्यो धर्मवत्सलः। तस्य पुत्रः शरण्यश्च सुग्रीवं शरणं गतः
He whose daughter-in-law was Sita, who was a refuge and lover of righteousness, his son, also a refuge, has sought Sugriva's protection.
सर्वलोकस्य धर्मात्मा शरण्यः शरणं पुरा। गुरुर्मे राघवः सोऽयं सुग्रीवं शरणं गतः
He who was the refuge and protector of all the world, righteous and worthy of shelter, my teacher Raghava has now sought Sugriva's protection.
यस्य प्रसादे सततं प्रसीदेयुरिमाः प्रजाः। स रामो वानरेन्द्रस्य प्रसादमभिकांक्षते
By whose favor these people always prospered, that Rama now seeks the favor of the king of the monkeys.
येन सर्वगुणोपेताः पृथिव्यां सर्वपार्थिवाः। मानिताः सततं राज्ञा सदा दशरथेन वै
By whom all the kings on earth, endowed with every virtue, were always honored—by King Dasharatha indeed.
तस्यायं पूर्वजः पुत्रस्त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः। सुग्रीवं वानरेन्द्रं तु रामः शरणमागतः
His eldest son, renowned in the three worlds, Rama, has come to take refuge with Sugriva, the king of the monkeys.
शोकाभिभूते रामे तु शोकार्ते शरणं गते। कर्तुमर्हति सुग्रीवः प्रसादं सह यूथपैः
When Rāma, overwhelmed by grief and seeking refuge in his sorrow, has come, Sugrīva ought to show him favor together with the leaders of his troop.
एवं ब्रुवाणं सौमित्रिं करुणं साश्रुपातनम्। हनूमान् प्रत्युवाचेदं वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः
To the compassionate Saumitri, who spoke thus with tears falling, Hanumān, skilled in speech, replied these words.
ईदृशा बुद्धिसम्पन्ना जितक्रोधा जितेन्द्रियाः। द्रष्टव्या वानरेन्द्रेण दिष्ट्या दर्शनमागताः
Men endowed with such wisdom, who have conquered anger and their senses, are indeed fortunate to be seen by the king of the monkeys.
स हि राज्याश्च विभ्रष्टः कृतवैरश्च वालिना। हृतदारो वने त्रस्तो भ्रात्रा विनिकृतो भृशम्
For he has been deprived of his kingdom, made an enemy by Vāli, his wife taken, terrified in the forest, and grievously wronged by his brother.
करिष्यति स साहाय्यं युवयोर्भास्करात्मजः। सुग्रीवः सह चास्माभिः सीतायाः परिमार्गणे
That son of the Sun, Sugrīva, together with us, will surely assist you both in searching for Sītā.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा हनुमान् श्लक्ष्णं मधुरया गिरा। बभाषे साधु गच्छामः सुग्रीवमिति राघवम्
Having spoken thus with gentle and sweet words, Hanumān said, 'Let us go to Sugrīva,' to Rāghava.
एवं ब्रुवन्तं धर्मात्मा हनूमन्तं स लक्ष्मणः। प्रतिपूज्य यथान्यायमिदं प्रोवाच राघवम्
Lakṣmaṇa, the righteous one, honored Hanumān as was proper, and then spoke these words to Rāghava.
कपिः कथयते हृष्टो यथायं मारुतात्मजः। कृत्यवान् सोऽपि सम्प्राप्तः कृतकृत्योऽसि राघव
The monkey, the son of the Wind, speaks joyfully as he ought; he has come, having fulfilled his duty, and you, Rāghava, have accomplished your purpose.
प्रसन्नमुखवर्णश्च व्यक्तं हृष्टश्च भाषते। नानृतं वक्ष्यते वीरो हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः
With a cheerful face and clear delight, Hanumān, the son of the Wind, this hero, will not speak falsehood.
ततः स सुमहाप्राज्ञो हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः। जगामादाय तौ वीरौ हरिराजाय राघवौ
Then Hanumān, the supremely wise son of the Wind, took those two heroes, the Rāghavas, to the king of the monkeys.
भिक्षुरूपं परित्यज्य वानरं रूपमास्थितः। पृष्ठमारोप्य तौ वीरौ जगाम कपिकुञ्जरः
Casting off the form of a mendicant and assuming his monkey shape, the mighty monkey lifted the two heroes onto his back and departed.
स तु विपुलयशाः कपिप्रवीरः पवनसुतः कृतकृत्यवत् प्रहृष्टः। गिरिवरमुरुविक्रमः प्रयातः स शुभमतिः सह रामलक्ष्मणाभ्याम्
That foremost of monkeys, famed and accomplished, the son of the Wind, rejoicing, possessing great strength like a mountain, set out with Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, his mind intent on good.
thumb|पञ्चमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे पञ्चमः सर्गः ॥४-
Hear now the fifth sarga. Thus ends the fifth sarga in the Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa of the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa.
ऋष्यमूकात् तु हनुमान् गत्वा तं मलयं गिरिम्। आचचक्षे तदा वीरौ कपिराजाय राघवौ
Hanumān, departing from Ṛśyamūka, went to that Malaya mountain and announced to the monkey king the arrival of the two heroes, the Rāghavas.
अयं रामो महाप्राज्ञ सम्प्राप्तो दृढविक्रमः। लक्ष्मणेन सह भ्रात्रा रामोऽयं सत्यविक्रमः
This is Rāma, of great wisdom and firm valor, who has arrived with his brother Lakṣmaṇa; this Rāma is truly steadfast in his courage.
इक्ष्वाकूणां कुले जातो रामो दशरथात्मजः। धर्मे निगदितश्चैव पितुर्निर्देशकारकः
Born in the lineage of the Ikṣvākus, Rāma is the son of Daśaratha, renowned for righteousness and obedient to his father's command.
राजसूयाश्वमेधैश्च वह्निर्येनाभितर्पितः। दक्षिणाश्च तथोत्सृष्टा गावः शतसहस्रशः
By him, the sacred fires were duly satisfied with Rājasūya and Aśvamedha sacrifices, and thousands upon thousands of cows were generously given as gifts.
तस्यास्य वसतोऽरण्ये नियतस्य महात्मनः। रावणेन हृता भार्या स त्वां शरणमागतः
While this great soul was dwelling in the forest, his wife was abducted by Rāvaṇa; now he has come to you for refuge.
भवता सख्यकामौ तौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ। प्रगृह्य चार्चयस्वैतौ पूजनीयतमावुभौ
You should honor those two brothers, Rama and Lakshmana, who desire friendship with you; receive them and worship them, for both are most worthy of reverence.
