After Sugriva had been installed and
after he (monkey) had entered his cave,
Rama came along with his brother to the
mountain Prasravana.

पाण्डुरं गगनं दृष्ट्वा विमलं चन्द्रमण्डलम् ।
शारदीं रजनीं चैव दृष्ट्वा ज्योत्स्नानुलेपनाम् ॥
अथ राजा समृद्धार्थः सुग्रीवः लवगाधिपः ।
उवाच नरशार्दूलं रामं परबलार्दनम् ॥
 
Seeing the sky white, the orb of the
moon spotless and the wintry night bathed
in moonlight, the well-satisfied king Sugriva,
the lord of the monkeys, said to Rama,
the best of men and the destroyer of hostile
hosts :
 
आगता वानरा घोरा दैत्यदानवसन्निभाः ।
निदेशवर्तिनस्सर्वे सर्वे गुरुहिते रताः ॥
 
"The monkeys are all come, formidable
equal to Daityas and Danavas, obedient to
our commands and devoted to the welfare
of their master.
 
अभिप्रेतमनुष्ठातुं तव शक्ष्यन्त्य रिन्दम ।
यन्मन्यसे नरव्याघ्र प्राप्तकालं तदुच्यताम् ॥
