Kishkindha Kanda, Sarga 26

ततश्शोकाभिसन्तप्तं सुग्रीवं क्लिन्नवाससम्। शाखामृगमहामात्राः परिवार्योपतस्थिरे4.26.1।।

tataśśokābhisantaptaṃ sugrīvaṃ klinnavāsasam| śākhāmṛgamahāmātrāḥ parivāryopatasthire4.26.1||

Then the chiefs of the army of the monkeys surrounded Sugriva, who was overcome with grief and was still in wet clothes (since he had taken bath at the conclusion of the funeral rites) and waited.

अभिगम्य महाबाहुं राममक्लिष्टकारिणम्। स्थिताः प्राञ्जलयस्सर्वे पितामहमिवर्षयः4.26.2।।

abhigamya mahābāhuṃ rāmamakliṣṭakāriṇam| sthitāḥ prāñjalayassarve pitāmahamivarṣayaḥ4.26.2||

Just like sages stand before the creator Brahma, all the monkeys stood with folded hands before the longarmed Rama, the remover of sorrow.

ततः काञ्चनशैलाभ स्तरुणार्कनिभाननः। अब्रवीत्प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यं हनूमान्मारुतात्मजः4.26.3।।

tataḥ kāñcanaśailābha staruṇārkanibhānanaḥ| abravītprāñjalirvākyaṃ hanūmānmārutātmajaḥ4.26.3||

Hanuman, son of the Windgod, glowing like a golden mountain, whose face resembled the rising Sun addressed Rama with folded hands:

भवत्प्रसादात्सुग्रीवः पितृपैतामहं महत्। वानराणां सुदुष्प्रापं प्राप्तो राज्यमिदं प्रभो4.26.4।।

bhavatprasādātsugrīvaḥ pitṛpaitāmahaṃ mahat| vānarāṇāṃ suduṣprāpaṃ prāpto rājyamidaṃ prabho4.26.4||

'O Lord by your grace Sugriva inherited the ancestral kingdom which would have been otherwise difficult.

भवता समनुज्ञातः प्रविश्य नगरं शुभम्4.26.5।। संविधास्यति कार्याणि सर्वाणि ससुहृज्जनः। स्नातोऽयं विविधैर्गन्धैरौषधैश्च यथाविधि4.26.6।।

'Permitted by your gracious self, he will enter the auspicious city along with his friends and perform his duties. He had his auspicious bath in fragrant waters with medicinal herbs as per tradition.

'Permitted by your gracious self, he will enter the auspicious city along with his friends and perform his duties. He had his auspicious bath in fragrant waters with medicinal herbs as per tradition.

अर्चयिष्यति रत्नैश्च माल्यैश्च त्वां विशेषतः। इमां गिरिगुहां रम्यामभिगन्तुमितोऽर्हसि4.26.7।। कुरुष्व स्वामिसम्बन्धं वानरान्सम्प्रहर्षय।

'He wants to propitiate you first specially with garlands and gems. Pray enter this beautiful mountain cave for the pleasure of the monkeys and establish relationship with king Sugriva.'

एवमुक्तो हनुमता राघवः परवीरहा4.26.8।। प्रत्युवाच हनूमन्तं बुद्धिमान्वाक्यकोविदः।

evamukto hanumatā rāghavaḥ paravīrahā4.26.8|| pratyuvāca hanūmantaṃ buddhimānvākyakovidaḥ|

Requested by Hanuman who was skilful in conversation, wise Rama, slayer of enemies, replied:

चतुर्दश समास्सौम्य ग्रामं वा यदि वा पुरम्4.26.9।। न प्रवेक्ष्यामि हनुमन्पितुर्निर्देशपालकः।

caturdaśa samāssaumya grāmaṃ vā yadi vā puram4.26.9|| na pravekṣyāmi hanumanpiturnirdeśapālakaḥ|

'Dear Hanuman In obedience to my father's command I should not enter any village or city for fourteen years.

सुसमृद्धां गुहां रम्यां सुग्रीवो वानरर्षभः4.26.10।। प्रविष्टो विधिवद्वीरः क्षिप्रं राज्येऽभिषिच्यताम्।

susamṛddhāṃ guhāṃ ramyāṃ sugrīvo vānararṣabhaḥ4.26.10|| praviṣṭo vidhivadvīraḥ kṣipraṃ rājye'bhiṣicyatām|

'Let Sugriva enter the beautiful prosperous cavern (Kishkinda) and be installed by you as king with due rituals.'

एवमुक्त्वा हनूमन्तं रामस्सुग्रीवमब्रवीत्4.26.11।। वृत्तज्ञो वृत्तसम्पन्नमुदारबलविक्रमम्।

evamuktvā hanūmantaṃ rāmassugrīvamabravīt4.26.11|| vṛttajño vṛttasampannamudārabalavikramam|

Having thus spoken to Hanuman, Rama who knew etiquette addressed mighty Sugriva, endowed with wisdom:

इममप्यङ्गदं वीर यौवराज्येऽभिषेचय4.26.12।। ज्येष्ठस्य स सुतो ज्येष्ठस्सदृशो विक्रमेण ते। अङ्गदोऽयमदीनात्मा यौवराज्यस्य भाजनम्4.26.13।।

'O hero consecrate Angada as heirapparent since he deserves it as the eldest son of your brother, a noble soul and equal to you in prowess.

इममप्यङ्गदं वीर यौवराज्येऽभिषेचय4.26.12।। ज्येष्ठस्य स सुतो ज्येष्ठस्सदृशो विक्रमेण ते। अङ्गदोऽयमदीनात्मा यौवराज्यस्य भाजनम्4.26.13।।

'O hero consecrate Angada as heirapparent since he deserves it as the eldest son of your brother, a noble soul and equal to you in prowess.

पूर्वोऽयं वार्षिको मासः श्रावणस्सलिलागमः। प्रवृत्तास्सौम्य चत्वारो मासा वार्षिकसज्ञिकाः4.26.14।।

pūrvo'yaṃ vārṣiko māsaḥ śrāvaṇassalilāgamaḥ| pravṛttāssaumya catvāro māsā vārṣikasajñikāḥ4.26.14||

'O noble Sugriva the four months from now will be rainy season. This is Sravana, the first month of the season in which rain is expected to start pouring.

नायमुद्योगसमयः प्रविश त्वं पुरीं शुभाम्। अस्मिन्वत्स्याम्यहं सौम्य पर्वते सह लक्ष्मणः4.26.15।।

nāyamudyogasamayaḥ praviśa tvaṃ purīṃ śubhām| asminvatsyāmyahaṃ saumya parvate saha lakṣmaṇaḥ4.26.15||

'O goodnatured Sugriva this is not a suitable time for any endeavour. Go to the auspicious capital city of Kishkinda and I will reside on the mountain with Lakshmana.

इयं गिरिगुहा रम्या विशाला युक्तमारुता। प्रभूतसलिला सौम्य प्रभूतकमलोत्पला4.26.16।।

iyaṃ giriguhā ramyā viśālā yuktamārutā| prabhūtasalilā saumya prabhūtakamalotpalā4.26.16||

'Dear Sugriva this cavern of the mountain is large and airy. It has abundant water resources with lotuses and lilies.

कार्तिके समनुप्राप्ते त्वं रावणवधे यत। एष नस्समयस्सौम्य प्रविश त्वं स्वमालयम्4.26.17।। अभिषिक्तस्व राज्ये च सुहृदस्सम्प्रहर्षय।

'Enter the city and get yourself installed and cheer your friends. Make all arrangement for killing Ravana when the month of Kartika begins as it is the proper time (for the purpose).

इति रामाभ्यनुज्ञातस्सुग्रीवो वानराधिपः4.26.18।। प्रविवेश पुरीं रम्यां किष्किन्धां वालिपालिताम्।

iti rāmābhyanujñātassugrīvo vānarādhipaḥ4.26.18|| praviveśa purīṃ ramyāṃ kiṣkindhāṃ vālipālitām|

Thus permitted by Rama , Sugriva, lord of the monkeys entered the beautiful city of Kishkinda (once) ruled by Vali.

तं वानरसहस्राणि प्रविष्टं वानरेश्वरम्4.26.19।। अभिवाद्य प्रविष्टानि सर्वतः पर्यवारयन्।

taṃ vānarasahasrāṇi praviṣṭaṃ vānareśvaram4.26.19|| abhivādya praviṣṭāni sarvataḥ paryavārayan|

Thousands of monkeys entered the city of Kishkinda along with their king, and stood in attendance everywhere.

ततः प्रकृतयस्सर्वा दृष्ट्वा हरिगणेश्वरम्4.26.20।। प्रणम्य मूर्ध्ना पतिता वसुधायां समाहिताः।

tataḥ prakṛtayassarvā dṛṣṭvā harigaṇeśvaram4.26.20|| praṇamya mūrdhnā patitā vasudhāyāṃ samāhitāḥ|

Then all the subjects of the city collected together, prostrated to the chief of the monkey clan with their forehead touching the ground (as a mark of respect) and sat down.

सुग्रीवः प्रकृतीस्सर्वास्सम्भाष्योत्थाप्य वीर्यवान्4.26.21।। भ्रातुरन्तःपुरं सौम्यं प्रविवेश महाबलः।

sugrīvaḥ prakṛtīssarvāssambhāṣyotthāpya vīryavān4.26.21|| bhrāturantaḥpuraṃ saumyaṃ praviveśa mahābalaḥ|

Asking the monkeys to rise to their feet, the mighty and powerful Sugriva entered the inner chambers of his brother.

प्रविश्य त्वभिनिष्क्रान्तं सुग्रीवं प्लवगेश्वरम्4.26.22।। अभ्यषिञ्चन्त सुहृदस्सहस्राक्षमिवामराः।

praviśya tvabhiniṣkrāntaṃ sugrīvaṃ plavageśvaram4.26.22|| abhyaṣiñcanta suhṛdassahasrākṣamivāmarāḥ|

With Sugriva,the lord of the monkeys, returned to Kishkinda, his kith and kin coronated him just as the gods consecrated the thousandeyed Indra.
