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 हरिश्रेष्ठं हरयो मारुतात्मजम् ॥
 
with pleased
Hanuman, the
 
foremost of monkeys, who had returned
unscathed, with various kinds of offerings
of roots and fruits.
 
All the monkeys,
countenances, welcomed
 
हनूमांस्तु गुरुन् वृद्धान् जाम्बवत्प्रमुखांस्तदा ।
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:
 
अशोकवनिकासंस्था दृष्टा सा जनकात्मजा ।
रक्ष्यमाणा सुघोराभी राक्षसीभिरनिन्दिता ॥
