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 गुरुरून् 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 ॥
