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.
श्रुत्वा हनूमतो वाक्यं सुग्रीवो वानराधिपः। दर्शनीयतमो भूत्वा प्रीत्योवाच च राघवम्
Hearing Hanuman's words, Sugriva, king of the monkeys, became most presentable and, with affection, spoke to Rama.
भवान् धर्मविनीतश्च सुतपाः सर्ववत्सलः। आख्याता वायुपुत्रेण तत्त्वतो मे भवद्गुणाः
You are disciplined in righteousness, devoted to austerity, and affectionate to all; Hanuman, son of the wind, has told me truthfully of your virtues.
तन्ममैवैष सत्कारो लाभश्चैवोत्तमः प्रभो। यत्त्वमिच्छसि सौहार्दं वानरेण मया सह
Therefore, this honor and great gain are mine, O lord, that you desire friendship with me, a monkey.
रोचते यदि मे सख्यं बाहुरेष प्रसारितः। गृह्यतां पाणिना पाणिर्मर्यादा बध्यतां ध्रुवा
If my friendship pleases you, here is my arm extended; let our hands be joined, and let the bond of alliance be firmly established.
एतत् तु वचनं श्रुत्वा सुग्रीवस्य सुभाषितम्। सम्प्रहृष्टमना हस्तं पीडयामास पाणिना
Hearing Sugriva's well-spoken words, Rama, with a delighted heart, grasped Sugriva's hand with his own.
हृष्टः सौहृदमालम्ब्य पर्यष्वजत पीडितम्। ततो हनूमान् संत्यज्य भिक्षुरूपमरिंदमः
Joyful, embracing the bond of friendship, Sugriva hugged Rama tightly; then Hanuman, conqueror of foes, abandoned his ascetic form.
काष्ठयोः स्वेन रूपेण जनयामास पावकम्। दीप्यमानं ततो वह्निं पुष्पैरभ्यर्च्य सत्कृतम्
In his own form, he produced fire from two wooden sticks; then, honoring the blazing fire with flowers, he worshipped it.
तयोर्मध्ये तु सुप्रीतो निदधौ सुसमाहितः। ततोऽग्निं दीप्यमानं तौ चक्रतुश्च प्रदक्षिणम्
With great delight, he placed the fire between them; then, both circled the blazing fire in reverence.
सुग्रीवो राघवश्चैव वयस्यत्वमुपागतौ। ततः सुप्रीतमनसौ तावुभौ हरिराघवौ
Sugriva and Rama thus entered into friendship; then, both the monkey and the prince, with hearts full of joy,
अन्योन्यमभिवीक्षन्तौ न तृप्तिमभिजग्मतुः। त्वं वयस्योऽसि हृद्यो मे ह्येकं दुःखं सुखं च नौ
Gazed upon each other, unable to be satisfied; you are my dear friend, and from now on, our happiness and sorrow are one.
सुग्रीवो राघवं वाक्यमित्युवाच प्रहृष्टवत्। ततः सुपर्णबहुलां भङ्क्त्वा शाखां सुपुष्पिताम्
Sugriva, with great joy, spoke to Rama; then, breaking a branch full of blossoms from a Garuda tree,
सालस्यास्तीर्य सुग्रीवो निषसाद सराघवः। लक्ष्मणायाथ संहृष्टो हनुमान् मारुतात्मजः
Sugriva spread the branch and sat down with Rama; then Hanuman, son of the wind, joyfully offered to Lakshmana
शाखां चन्दनवृक्षस्य ददौ परमपुष्पिताम्। ततः प्रहृष्टः सुग्रीवः श्लक्ष्णं मधुरया गिरा
A branch from a sandalwood tree, richly blossomed; then Sugriva, delighted, spoke gently and sweetly.
प्रत्युवाच तदा रामं हर्षव्याकुललोचनः। अहं विनिकृतो राम चरामीह भयार्दितः
Then, with eyes overwhelmed by joy, he addressed Rama: 'I have been wronged, Rama, and wander here, afflicted by fear.'
हृतभार्यो वने त्रस्तो दुर्गमेतदुपाश्रितः। सोऽहं त्रस्तो वने भीतो वसाम्युद्भ्रान्तचेतनः
My wife has been taken, and I am terrified in the forest, seeking refuge in this difficult place; thus, fearful and anxious, I dwell here.
वालिना निकृतो भ्रात्रा कृतवैरश्च राघव। वालिनो मे महाभाग भयार्तस्याभयं कुरु
I have been wronged by my brother Vali and am at enmity with him, O Rama; O illustrious one, grant me safety from Vali, for I am tormented by fear.
कर्तुमर्हसि काकुत्स्थ भयं मे न भवेद् यथा। एवमुक्तस्तु तेजस्वी धर्मज्ञो धर्मवत्सलः
You should act, O descendant of Kakutstha, so that I may not have fear; thus addressed, the radiant, righteous, and compassionate Rama replied.
प्रत्यभाषत काकुत्स्थः सुग्रीवं प्रहसन्निव। उपकारफलं मित्रं विदितं मे महाकपे
Kākutstha replied to Sugrīva, as if smiling: 'I know well, great monkey, that a friend is one who gives the fruit of help.'
वालिनं तं वधिष्यामि तव भार्यापहारिणम्। अमोघाः सूर्यसंकाशा ममेमे निशिताः शराः
I will slay that Vāli, who took your wife; these sharp arrows of mine, shining like the sun, never fail.
तस्मिन् वालिनि दुर्वृत्ते निपतिष्यन्ति वेगिताः। कङ्कपत्रप्रतिच्छन्ना महेन्द्राशनिसंनिभाः
Upon that evil-minded Vāli will fall swiftly these arrows, covered with vulture feathers, resembling Indra's thunderbolt.
