KISHKINDHAKANDA
259
Being thus addressed by Hanuman, the
wise Raghava, vanquisher of powerful
enemies and well versed in speech, replied
thus to Hanuman :
सुसमृद्धां गुहां रम्यां सुग्रीवो वानरर्षभः ।
प्रविष्टो विधिवद्वीरः क्षिप्रं राज्येऽभिषिच्यताम् ॥
"Let the heroic Sugriva, the foremost of
monkeys, enter this prosperous and pleasant
cave and be installed quickly, according
to rites, in his sovereignty."
एवमुक्त्वा हनूमन्तं रामः सुग्रीवमब्रवीत् ॥
Having told Hanuman thus, Rama said
to Sugriva :
इममप्यङ्गदं वीर यौवराज्येऽभिषेचय ॥
"O hero, instal as Yuvaraja this Angada.
ज्येष्ठस्य स सुतो ज्येष्ठः सदृशो विक्रमेण ते ।
अङ्गदोऽयमदीनात्मा यौवराज्यस्य भाजनम् ॥
He is the eldest son of your elder
brother. He is equal to you in prowess.
This Angada of heroic spirit is indeed
worthy of being Yuvaraja.
