SUNDARAKANDA
 
Then, all the mighty monkeys stood
round the high souled Hanuman, with
their hearts rejoicing.
 
प्रहृष्टवदनाः सर्वे तमरोगमुपागतम् ।
 
उपायनानि चादाय मूलानि च फलानि च ।
प्रत्यर्चयन् हरिश्रेष्टं हरयो मारुतात्मजम् ॥

All the monkeys, with pleased counten-
ances, welcomed Hanuman, the foremost
of monkeys, who had returned unscathed,
with various kinds of offerings of roots
and fruits.
 
हनुमांस्तु गुरुन् वृद्धान् जाम्ववत्प्रमुखांस्तदा ।
कुमारमङ्गदं चैव सोऽवन्दत महाकपिः ॥
 
And Hanuman, the great monkey, paid
obeisance to all his elders and teachers
like Jambavan, and to Prince Angada.
 
हनुमानब्रवीद्धृष्टस्तदा तान् वानरर्षभान् ॥
 
Then Hanuman, highly satisfied, said
to those mighty monkeys:
 
अशोकवनिका संस्था दृष्टा सा जानकात्मजा ।
रक्ष्यमाणा सुघोराभी राक्षसीभिरनिन्दिता ॥
