Meanwhile, Sugreeva the king of Monkeys, possessing a great splendour and a mighty power, enquired saying, "Why is this army agitated, like a ship driven out of its course in water?"
सुग्रीवस्य वचह् श्रुत्वा वालि पुत्रो अन्गदो अब्रवीत् | न त्वम् पश्यसि रामम् च लक्ष्मणम् च महा बलम् || ६-५०-२ शर जाल आचितौ वीराव् उभौ दशरथ आत्मजौ | शर तल्पे महात्मानौ शयानाउ रुधिर उक्षितौ || ६-५०-३

Hearing the words of Sugreeva, Angada the son of Vali replied, saying "Do you not see the high-souled Rama and Lakshmana of the great chariot, those two valiant sons of Dasaratha covered with darts lying all bloody in a bed of arrows?"
अथ अब्रवीद् वानर इन्द्रह् सुग्रीवह् पुत्रम् अन्गदम् | न अनिमित्तम् इदम् मन्ये भवितव्यम् भयेन तु || ६-५०-४
viShaNNa vadanaa hy ete tyakta praharaNaa dishaH | prapalaayanti harayas traasaad utphulla locanaaH || 6-50-5
Thereupon, Sugreeva the Lord of Monkeys said to his son Angada: "To my mind, there is some othere cause why the monkeys are bewildereed. There must be some danger ahead."
विषण्ण वदना ह्य् एते त्यक्त प्रहरणा दिशः | प्रपलायन्ति हरयस् त्रासाद् उत्फुल्ल लोचनाः || ६-५०-५

"Here, these monkeys are runnng away in all directions, with their eyes distended with terror, throwing down their arms and looking dejected."
अन्योन्यस्य न लज्जन्ते न निरीक्षन्ति पृष्ठतः | विप्रकर्षन्ति च अन्योन्यम् पतितम् लन्घयन्ति च || ६-५०-६
etasminn antare viiro gadaa paaNir vibhiiShaNaH | sugriivam vardhayaam aasa raaghavam ca niraikShata || 6-50-7
"They are not ashamed of one another. They are not looking behind than even. They are jostling each other and leaping over those who have fallen."
एतस्मिन्न् अन्तरे वीरो गदा पाणिर् विभीषणः | सुग्रीवम् वर्धयाम् आस राघवम् च निरैक्षत || ६-५०-७
vibhiiShaNam tam sugriivo dR^iShTvaa vaanara bhiiShaNam | R^ikSha raajam samiipastham jaambavantam uvaaca ha || 6-50-8
In the midst of this turmoil, the valiant Vibhishana, wielding a mace in his hand came there and cheered Sugreeva and Rama saying "Victory to Rama! Victory to Rama!."
विभीषणम् तम् सुग्रीवो दृष्ट्वा वानर भीषणम् | ऋक्ष राजम् समीपस्थम् जाम्बवन्तम् उवाच ह || ६-५०-८
vibhiiShaNo ayam sampraapto yam dR^iShTvaa vaanara R^iShabhaaH | vidravanti paritrastaa raavaNa aatmaja shankayaa || 6-50-9
Observing Vibhishana to be the cause of panic among the monkeys, Sugreeva spoke to the illustrious Jambavan the king of Bears who stood near (as follows):
विभीषणो अयम् सम्प्राप्तो यम् दृष्ट्वा वानर ऋषभाः | विद्रवन्ति परित्रस्ता रावण आत्मज शन्कया || ६-५०-९
shiighram etaan suvitrastaan bahudhaa vipradhaavitaan | paryavasthaapaya aakhyaahi vibhiiShaNam upasthitam || 6-50-10
"It is Vibhishana who has come here. On seeing him, the foremost of monkeys seized with terror have fled, deeming him to be Indrajit, Ravana's son."
शीघ्रम् एतान् सुवित्रस्तान् बहुधा विप्रधावितान् | पर्यवस्थापय आख्याहि विभीषणम् उपस्थितम् || ६-५०-१०
sugriiveNa evam uktas tu jaambavaan R^ikSha paarthivaH | vaanaraan saantvayaam aasa samnivartya prahaavataH || 6-50-11
"You reassemble those monkeys immediately, who in fear have scattered in many directions and inform them that it is Vibhishana who has come!"
सुग्रीवेण एवम् उक्तस् तु जाम्बवान् ऋक्ष पार्थिवः | वानरान् सान्त्वयाम् आस सम्निवर्त्य प्रहावतः || ६-५०-११
te nivR^ittaah punah sarve vaanaraas tyakta sambhramaaH | R^ikSha raaja vacah shrutvaa tam ca dR^iShTvaa vibhiiShaNam || 6-50-12
Thus spoken by Sugreeva, Jambavan the king of Bears called the fugitive monkeys back and restored them to confidence.
ते निवृत्ताह् पुनह् सर्वे वानरास् त्यक्त सम्भ्रमाः | ऋक्ष राज वचह् श्रुत्वा तम् च दृष्ट्वा विभीषणम् || ६-५०-१२
vibhiiShaNas tu raamasya dR^iShTvaa gaatram sharaish citam | lakShmaNasya ca dharma aatmaa babhuuva vyathita indriyaH || 6-50-13
Hearing the words of Jambavan the king of Bears, all those monkeys, on perceiving Vibhishana, retraced their steps, shaking off their fear.
विभीषणस् तु रामस्य दृष्ट्वा गात्रम् शरैश् चितम् | लक्ष्मणस्य च धर्म आत्मा बभूव व्यथित इन्द्रियः || ६-५०-१३
jala klinnena hastena tayor netre pramR^ijya ca | shoka sampiiDita manaa ruroda vilalaapa ca || 6-50-14
Meanwhile, the virtuous Vibhishana, on beholding Rama's body as also of Lakshmana's covered with arrows, felt distressed.
जल क्लिन्नेन हस्तेन तयोर् नेत्रे प्रमृज्य च | शोक सम्पीडित मना रुरोद विललाप च || ६-५०-१४
imau tau sattva sampannau vikraantau priya samyugau | imaam avasthaam gamitau raakasaih kuuTa yodhibhiH || 6-50-15
Washing their eyes with his hands dipped in water, Vibhishana began to weap, with anguish seizing his heart and lamented, saying:
इमौ तौ सत्त्व सम्पन्नौ विक्रान्तौ प्रिय सम्युगौ | इमाम् अवस्थाम् गमितौ राकसैह् कूट योधिभिः || ६-५०-१५

"These two powerful and valiant warrriors have been brought tot his state by the demons, the treacherous combatants."
भ्रातुः पुत्रेण मे तेन दुष्पुत्रेण दुरात्मना | राक्षस्या जिह्मया बुद्ध्या चलिताव् ऋजु विक्रमौ || ६-५०-१६

"The son of my brother, that wicked youth of perverse soul in his demoniac cunning mind, has decived those two honourable fighters."
शरैर् इमाव् अलम् विद्धौ रुधिरेण समुक्षितौ | वसुधायाम् इम सुप्तौ दृश्येते शल्यकाव् इव || ६-५०-१७
yayor viiryam upaashritya pratiShThaa kaankShitaa mayaa | taav ubhau deha naashaaya prasuptau puruSha R^iShabhau || 6-50-18
"These two warriors, Rama and Lakshmana, who were struck badly by arrows and covered with blood are lying on the earth, like two porcupines."
ययोर् वीर्यम् उपाश्रित्य प्रतिष्ठा कान्क्षिता मया | ताव् उभौ देह नाशाय प्रसुप्तौ पुरुष ऋषभौ || ६-५०-१८

"These two lions among men, on whom depended the positon aspired by me, are lying insensible, waiting for the dissolution of the body."
जीवन्न् अद्य विपन्नो अस्मि नष्ट राज्य मनो रथः | प्राप्त प्रतिज्नश् च रिपुह् सकामो रावणह् कृतः || ६-५०-१९
evam vilapamaanam tam pariShvajya vibhiiShaNam | sugriivaH sattva sampanno hari raajo abraviid idam || 6-50-20
"Deprived of the hope now of becoming a king, I am as one dead, eventhough surviving; while my rival Ravana sees his vow fulfilled and gets his desires realised."
एवम् विलपमानम् तम् परिष्वज्य विभीषणम् | सुग्रीवः सत्त्व सम्पन्नो हरि राजो अब्रवीद् इदम् || ६-५०-२०
raajyam praapsyasi dharmajna lankaayaam na atra sa.nshayaH | raavaNaH saha putreNa sa raajyam na iha lapsyate || 6-50-21
Then, Sugreeva the magnanimous King of Monkeys embraced that Vibhishana thus lamenting and spoke the following words:
राज्यम् प्राप्स्यसि धर्मज्न लन्कायाम् न अत्र संशयः | रावणः सह पुत्रेण स राज्यम् न इह लप्स्यते || ६-५०-२१
na rujaapiiDitaav etaav ubhau raaghava lakShmaNau | tyaktvaa moham vadhiShyete sagaNam raavaNam raNe || 6-50-22
"O, knower of what is right! You shall certainly reign over Lanka. Ravana and his son will not acheive their purpose."
न रुजापीडिताव् एताव् उभौ राघव लक्ष्मणौ | त्यक्त्वा मोहम् वधिष्येते सगणम् रावणम् रणे || ६-५०-२२
tam evam saantvayitvaa tu samaashvaasya ca raakShasam | suSheNam shvashuram paarshve sugriivas tam uvaaca ha || 6-50-23
"The injury done to Rama and Lakshmana is not grave. Emerging from their swoon, they will destroy Ravana with his hordes in battles."
तम् एवम् सान्त्वयित्वा तु समाश्वास्य च राक्षसम् | सुषेणम् श्वशुरम् पार्श्वे सुग्रीवस् तम् उवाच ह || ६-५०-२३
saha shuurair hari gaNair labdha samjnaav arim damau | gaccha tvam bhraatarau gR^ihya kiShkindhaam raama lakShmaNau || 6-50-24
Consoling and convincing Vibhishana thus, Sugreeva spoke to Sushena, his father-in-law, who was on his side (as follows):
सह शूरैर् हरि गणैर् लब्ध सम्ज्नाव् अरिम् दमौ | गच्च त्वम् भ्रातरौ गृह्य किष्किन्धाम् राम लक्ष्मणौ || ६-५०-२४
aham tu raavaNam hatvaa saputram saha baandhavam | maithiliim aanayiShyaami shakro naShTaam iva shriyam || 6-50-25
"Taking these two brothers, Rama and Lakshmana with the troops of monkeys who are strong, you go to Kishkindha, till these two scourgers of their foes have recovered their consciousness."
अहम् तु रावणम् हत्वा सपुत्रम् सह बान्धवम् | मैथिलीम् आनयिष्यामि शक्रो नष्टाम् इव श्रियम् || ६-५०-२५
shrutvaa etad vaanara indrasya suSheNo vaakyam abraviit | deva asuram mahaa yuddham anubhuutam sudaaruNam || 6-50-26
"As for me, I shall slay Ravana with his son and his relatives and bring back Seetha as did Indra the Lord of celestials, the prosperity he had lost."
श्रुत्वा एतद् वानर इन्द्रस्य सुषेणो वाक्यम् अब्रवीत् | देव असुरम् महा युद्धम् अनुभूतम् सुदारुणम् || ६-५०-२६
tadaa sma daanavaa devaan shara sa.nsparsha kovidaaH | nijaghnuH shastra viduShash chaadayanto muhur muhuH || 6-50-27
"Hearing the words of Sugreeva, Sushena replied as followers: " A highly terrific and great was between celestials and demons was perceived by me."
तदा स्म दानवा देवान् शर संस्पर्श कोविदाः | निजघ्नुः शस्त्र विदुषश् चादयन्तो मुहुर् मुहुः || ६-५०-२७
taan aartaan naShTa samjnaa.nsh ca para asuu.nsh ca bR^ihaspatiH | vidhyaabhir mantra yuktaabhir oShadhiibhish cikitsati || 6-50-28
"By making themselves invisible again and again, the demons skilled in the use of arrows overcame the celestials despite their skill in bearing arms."
तान् आर्तान् नष्ट सम्ज्नांश् च पर असूंश् च बृहस्पतिः | विध्याभिर् मन्त्र युक्ताभिर् ओषधीभिश् चिकित्सति || ६-५०-२८

"To those celestials who were wounded, unconscious and almost deprived of life, Brihaspati treated them by the aid of herbs accompanied by his spells of sacred formulas."
तान्य् औषधान्य् आनयितुम् क्षीर उदम् यान्तु सागरम् | जवेन वानराह् शीघ्रम् सम्पाति पनस आदयः || ६-५०-२९
harayas tu vijaananti paarvatii te mahaa oShadhii | samjiiva karaNiim divyaam vishalyaam deva nirmitaam || 6-50-30
"Let the monkeys Sampati, Panasa and others go quickly in speed, to the ocean of milk, to bring those herbs."
हरयस् तु विजानन्ति पार्वती ते महा ओषधी | सम्जीव करणीम् दिव्याम् विशल्याम् देव निर्मिताम् || ६-५०-३०

"These monkeys are conversant with those efficacious mountianous herbs - the celestial Sanjivakarani and Vishalya, which were created by a God."
चन्द्रसः च नाम द्रोणश् च पर्वतौ सागर उत्तमे | अमृतम् यत्र मथितम् तत्र ते परम ओषधी || ६-५०-३१

"In the bosom of the milky ocean the best of oceans, rise the mountains called Chandra and Drona, where the ambrosia was formerly churned. These two excellent herbs exist there."
तौ तत्र निहिते देवैः पर्वते परम ओषधी | अयम् वायु सुतो राजन् हनूमांस् तत्र गच्चतु || ६-५०-३२

"The celestials place dthose two mountain in the vast sea. O, King! Let Hanuman the son of Wind-God go there."
एतस्मिन्न् अन्तरे वायुर् मेघांश् च अपि सविद्युतः | पर्यस्यन् सागरे तोयम् कम्पयन्न् इव पर्वतान् || ६-५०-३३

In the meantime, a great wind arose, accompanied by massed clouds and lightning, whipping up the salty waves in the ocean, causing the mountains to tremble as from an earthquake.
महता पक्ष वातेन सर्वे द्वीप महा द्रुमाः | निपेतुर् भग्न विटपाः समूला लवण अम्भसि || ६-५०-३४

"Large trees on the sand-banks had their branches broken by the mighty stroke of Vata's wings and fell headlong into the briny waters of the ocean."
अभवन् पन्नगास् त्रस्ता भोगिनस् तत्र वासिनः | शीघ्रम् सर्वाणि यादांसि जग्मुश् च लवण अर्णवम् || ६-५०-३५

"The snakes became frightened. The snakes inhabiting there and all the marine animals plunged quickly into the briny ocean."
ततो मुहूर्तद् गरुडम् वैनतेयम् महा बलम् | वानरा ददृशुः सर्वे ज्वलन्तम् इव पावकम् || ६-५०-३६

Thereupon, all the monkeys saw within a moment, a mighty eagle, Garuda, the son of Vinata, like unto a blazing torch.
तम् आगतम् अभिप्रेक्ष्य नागास् ते विप्रदुद्रुवुः | यैस् तौ सत् पुरुषौ बद्धौ शर भूतैर् महा बलौ || ६-५०-३७

On beholding Garuda the eagle which came there, the serpants who bound those two warriors Rama and Lakshmana in the form of mighty arrows, fled away.
ततः सुपर्णह् काकुत्स्थौ दृष्ट्वा प्रत्यभिनन्द्य च | विममर्श च पाणिभ्याम् मुखे चन्द्र सम प्रभे || ६-५०-३८

Thereupon, Garuda the eagle, coming into contact iwth Rama and Lakshmana d offering them his good wishes, with his hands caressly touched their faces that were radiant like the moon.
वैनतेयेन संस्पृष्टास् तयोह् सम्रुरुहुर् व्रणाः | सुवर्णे च तनू स्निग्धे तयोर् आशु बभूवतुः || ६-५०-३९

Their wounds, touched by Garuda the eagle, were healed. Their bodies soon became smooth and well-rounded.

Their lustre, valour, strength, endurance and resolution, those great qualities, also their perspicacity, intelligence and memory were re-doubled.
ताव् उत्थाप्य महा वीर्यौ गरुडो वासव उपमौ | उभौ तौ सस्वजे हृष्टौ रामश् च एनम् उवाच ह || ६-५०-४१

Lifting them up both who were like Indra, the highly majestic Garuda the eagle embraced them. Rama also, being pleased, spoke to him (as follows):
भवत् प्रसादाद् व्यसनम् रावणि प्रभवम् महत् | आवाम् इह व्यतिक्रान्तौ शीघ्रम् च बलिनौ कृतौ || ६-५०-४२
yathaa taatam dasharatham yathaa ajam ca pitaamaham | tathaa bhavantam aasaadya hR^iShayam me prasiidati || 6-50-43
"Now, by your grace, we both have overcome a great disaster created by Indrajit the son of Ravana. We have been made strong as before."
यथा तातम् दशरथम् यथा अजम् च पितामहम् | तथा भवन्तम् आसाद्य हृषयम् मे प्रसीदति || ६-५०-४३

"By meeting you thus, my heart is gladdened in the same manner as I am meeting Dasaratha, my fatehr and Aja, my paternal grandfather."

"Who are you, the one endowed with beauty, having blissful garlands and anointments, wearing clean garments and adorned iwth divine ornaments?"

The highly majestic and the mighty Garuda the eagle, the King of Birds, with his eys widened in gladness and with a pleased heart, spoke to Rama as follows:
अहम् सखा ते काकुत्स्थ प्रियह् प्राणो बहिश् चरः | गरुत्मान् इह सम्प्राप्तो युवयोह् साह्य कारणात् || ६-५०-४६

"O, Rama! I am your dearest friend Garuda dear as your own breath moving outside I came here for the purpose of helping you, both."

"Either the most valiant demons or the exceedingly strong monkeys or the celestials together with the celestial musicians having Devendra the Lord of celestials in their forefront are unable to untie this awfully terrific entanglement of arrows created through his power of sorcery by Indrajit of terrific deeds."

Having spoken thus, Garuda of swift flight, having beautiful wings, who had just healed Rama's wounds in the presence of monkeys, having paid obeisance presence of monkeys, having paid obeisance to him (by circumambulation) and taken him into his arms, entered the sky with the speed of the wind.

Seeing Rama and Lakshmana healed of their wounds, the cheifs of monkeys haowled like roars of lions and lashed their tails.

Thereupon, gongs were beaten, drums resounded, and couches were blown amid jumping in joy of the monkeys as before.

Some other strong monkeys who use trees as maces in battle, waving their arms and uprooting hundreds and thousands of various trees, stood there, ready for the battle.
विसृजन्तो महा नादांस् त्रासयन्तो निशा चरान् | लन्का द्वाराण्य् उपाजग्मुर् योद्धु कामाह् प्लवम् गमाः || ६-५०-६४
Uttering great noises, frightning the demons and desirous to fight, the monkeys reached the gates of Lanka.
ततस् तु भीमस् तुमुलो निनादो ततस् तु भीमस् तुमुलो निनादो | बभूव शाखा मृग यूथपानाम् | क्षये निदाघस्य यथा घनानाम् | नादह् सुभीमो नदताम् निशीथे || ६-५०-६५
Thereafter, a highly terrible and tumuluous sound arose among the leaders of the monkeys, as, at the end of summer the roaring of thunder clouds in the mid-night.
