इति ब्रुवाणं सुग्रीवं रामो धर्मभृतां वरः। बाहुभ्यां सम्परिष्वज्य प्रत्युवाच कृताञ्जलिम्।।4.39.1।।

iti bruvāṇaṃ sugrīvaṃ rāmo dharmabhṛtāṃ varaḥ| bāhubhyāṃ sampariṣvajya pratyuvāca kṛtāñjalim

On hearing Sugriva who stood with folded hands, Rama, the foremost among the upholders of righteousness, hugged him and said:

यदिन्द्रो वर्षते वर्षं न तच्चित्रं भवेत्क्वचित्। आदित्यो वा सहस्रांशुः कुर्याद्वितिमिरं नभः।।4.39.2।। चन्द्रमा रश्मिभिः कुर्यात्पृथिवीं सौम्य निर्मलाम्। त्वद्विधो वाऽपि मित्राणां प्रतिकुर्यात्परन्तप ।।4.39.3।।

yadindro varṣate varṣaṃ na taccitraṃ bhavetkvacit| ādityo vā sahasrāṃśuḥ kuryādvitimiraṃ nabhaḥ candramā raśmibhiḥ kuryātpṛthivīṃ saumya nirmalām| tvadvidho vā'pi mitrāṇāṃ pratikuryātparantapa

'O scorcher of enemies, gentle Sugriva it will not be strange if Indra showers rain, if the Sun in the sky dispels darkness with his thousand rays, and if the Moon cools down the earth with his light, and a person like you helps his friend.

यदिन्द्रो वर्षते वर्षं न तच्चित्रं भवेत्क्वचित्। आदित्यो वा सहस्रांशुः कुर्याद्वितिमिरं नभः।।4.39.2।। चन्द्रमा रश्मिभिः कुर्यात्पृथिवीं सौम्य निर्मलाम्। त्वद्विधो वाऽपि मित्राणां प्रतिकुर्यात्परन्तप ।।4.39.3।।

'O scorcher of enemies, gentle Sugriva it will not be strange if Indra showers rain, if the Sun in the sky dispels darkness with his thousand rays, and if the Moon cools down the earth with his light, and a person like you helps his friend.

एवं त्वयि न तच्चित्रं भवेद्यत्सौम्य शोभनम्। जानाम्यहं त्वां सुग्रीव सततं प्रियवादिनम्।।4.39.4।।

evaṃ tvayi na taccitraṃ bhavedyatsaumya śobhanam| jānāmyahaṃ tvāṃ sugrīva satataṃ priyavādinam

'O gentle Sugriva this your help to me is not surprising. You always help your friends and speak in a pleasing manner.

त्वत्सनाथ: सखे सङ्ख्ये जेताऽस्मि सकलानरीन्। त्वमेव मे सुहृतन्मित्रं साहाय्यं कर्तुमर्हसि।।4.39.5।।

jahārātmavināśāya vaidehīṃ rākṣasādhamaḥ| vañcayitvā tu paulomīmanuhlādo yathā śacīm

Just as Anuhlada (son of Hiranyakasipu and brother of Prahlada) took away, Poulomi (Sachi, daughter of Puloma) deceiving Indra, this lowly demon took away Sita, daughter of the king of Videha.

न चिरात्तं हनिष्यामि रावणं निशितैश्शरैः। पौलोम्याः पितरं दृप्तं शतक्रतुरिवाऽहवे।।4.39.7।।

na cirāttaṃ haniṣyāmi rāvaṇaṃ niśitaiśśaraiḥ| paulomyāḥ pitaraṃ dṛptaṃ śatakraturivā'have

'I will kill Ravana with my sharp arrows just as Indra, (who had done a hundred sacrifices) killed the proud father of Poulomi.

etasminnantare caiva rajassamabhivartata| uṣṇāṃ tīvrāṃ sahasrāṃśośchādayadgagane prabhām

In the mean while the dust raised (by army of monkeys) all over obscured the intense heat from the sky and the radiance of the thousandrayed Sun.

दिशः पर्याकुलाश्चासन्रजसा तेन मूर्छता। चचाल च मही सर्वा सशैलवनकानना।।4.39.9।।
