Sundara Kanda, Sarga 60

तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा वालिसूनुरभाषत। अयुक्तं तु विना देवीं दृष्टवद्भिश्च वानराः।।5.60.1।। समीपं गन्तुमस्माभी राघवस्य महात्मनः।

tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā vālisūnurabhāṣata| ayuktaṃ tu vinā devīṃ dṛṣṭavadbhiśca vānarāḥ samīpaṃ gantumasmābhī rāghavasya mahātmanaḥ|

After hearing Hanuman, Vali's son said" O vanaras (Hanuman) having seen Sita it is not proper on our part to go without Sita to the great soul Rama.

दृष्टा देवी न चानीता इति तत्र निवेदनम्।।5.60.2।। अयुक्तमिव पश्यामि भवद्भिः ख्यातविक्रमैः।

dṛṣṭā devī na cānītā iti tatra nivedanam ayuktamiva paśyāmi bhavadbhiḥ khyātavikramaiḥ|

"O vanaras, you are known for your valour. I think, to tell Rama that we have seen Sita but not brought her is not proper".

न हि नः प्लवने कश्चिन्नापि कश्चित्पराक्रमे।।5.60.3।। तुल्य स्सामरदैत्येषु लोकेषु हरिसत्तमाः।

na hi naḥ plavane kaścinnāpi kaścitparākrame tulya ssāmaradaityeṣu lokeṣu harisattamāḥ|

"O noble vanaras Indeed either among gods or among demons there is none who can match the vanaras in leaping and exhibiting valour.

तेष्वेवं हतवीरेषु राक्षसेषु हनूमता।।5.60.4।। किमन्यदत्र कर्तव्यं गृहीत्वा याम जानकीम्।

teṣvevaṃ hatavīreṣu rākṣaseṣu hanūmatā kimanyadatra kartavyaṃ gṛhītvā yāma jānakīm|

"Hence, having killed the heroes among ogres what other task has Hanuman to do? Let us get Sita.

तमेवं कृतसङ्कल्पं जाम्बवान् हरिसत्तमः।।5.60.5।। उवाच परमप्रीतो वाक्यमर्थवदर्थवित्।

tamevaṃ kṛtasaṅkalpaṃ jāmbavān harisattamaḥ uvāca paramaprīto vākyamarthavadarthavit|

"Jambavan, the noble vanara, skilled in the execution of tasks thus commanded in a determined manner:

न तावदेषा मतिरक्षमा नो यथा भवान् पश्यति राजपुत्र। यथा तु रामस्य मतिर्निविष्टा तथा भवान् पश्यतु कार्यसिद्धिम्।।5.60.6।।

na tāvadeṣā matirakṣamā no yathā bhavān paśyati rājaputra| yathā tu rāmasya matirniviṣṭā tathā bhavān paśyatu kāryasiddhim

"O prince what you think is acceptable to us also. Even though we are capable of achieving, knowing what is in Rama's mind, we should act only according to his command to accomplish the task. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे षष्टितमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the sixtieth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramyana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
