4.14.1
सर्वे ते त्वरितं गत्वा किष्किन्धां वालिनः पुरीम्।
वृक्षैरात्मानमावृत्य व्यतिष्ठन् गहने वने ॥ ४.१४.१ ॥
Having quickly gone to Vālin's city Kiṣkindhā, they all covered themselves with trees and stood in the dense forest.
4.14.2
विसार्य सर्वतो दृष्टिं कानने काननप्रियः।
सुग्रीवो विपुलग्रीवः क्रोधमाहारयद् भृशम् ॥ ४.१४.२ ॥
Sugrīva, fond of the forest and broad-necked, cast his gaze on all sides and greatly provoked his anger.
4.14.3
ततस्तु निनदं घोरं कृत्वा युद्धाय चाह्वयत्।
परिवारैः परिवृतो नादैर्भिन्दन्निवाम्बरम् ॥ ४.१४.३ ॥
Then, letting out a terrible roar, he challenged them to battle, surrounded by his followers, as if piercing the sky with his cries.
4.14.4
गर्जन्निव महामेघो वायुवेगपुरःसरः।
अथ बालार्कसदृशो दृप्तसिंहगतिस्ततः ॥ ४.१४.४ ॥
Roaring like a great cloud driven onward by the speed of the wind, then, like the rising sun, with the gait of a proud lion, he advanced.

हरिवागुरया व्याप्तां तप्तकाञ्चनतोरणाम् ॥ ४.१४.५ ॥
Seeing Rāma, skilled in action, Sugrīva spoke these words.
4.14.6
प्राप्ताः स्म ध्वजयन्त्राढ्यां किष्किन्धां वालिनः पुरीम्।
प्रतिज्ञा या कृता वीर त्वया वालिवधे पुरा ॥ ४.१४.६ ॥
Hero, we have arrived at Vāli's city Kiṣkindhā, rich in banners and engines. This is the vow you made earlier, concerning the killing of Vāli.
4.14.7
सफलां कुरु तां क्षिप्रं लतां काल इवागतः।
एवमुक्तस्तु धर्मात्मा सुग्रीवेण स राघवः ॥ ४.१४.७ ॥
"Make it fruitful quickly, as time has come for the creeper." Thus addressed by Sugrīva, that righteous-souled Rāghava (replied).
4.14.8
तमेवोवाच वचनं सुग्रीवं शत्रुसूदनः।
कृताभिज्ञानचिह्नस्त्वमनया गजसाह्वया ॥ ४.१४.८ ॥
The destroyer of enemies said these words to Sugrīva: "You have been made a recognized sign by this creeper named Gajasāhvayā.
4.14.9
लक्ष्मणेन समुत्पाट्य एषा कण्ठे कृता तव।
शोभसेऽप्यधिकं वीर लतया कण्ठसक्तया ॥ ४.१४.९ ॥
Lakṣmaṇa uprooted this and placed it on your neck. O hero, you shine even more with this creeper clinging to your neck.
4.14.10
विपरीत इवाकाशे सूर्यो नक्षत्रमालया।
अद्य वालिसमुत्थं ते भयं वैरं च वानर ॥ ४.१४.१० ॥
You appear like the sun in the sky out of place with a garland of stars. O monkey, today the fear and enmity arising from Vālin will end.
4.14.11
एकेनाहं प्रमोक्ष्यामि बाणमोक्षेण संयुगे।
मम दर्शय सुग्रीव वैरिणं भ्रातृरूपिणम् ॥ ४.१४.११ ॥
In battle I shall release it with a single release of an arrow. Show me, O Sugrīva, that enemy who has taken the form of a brother.
4.14.12
वाली विनिहतो यावद्वने पांसुषु चेष्टते।
यदि दृष्टिपथं प्राप्तो जीवन् स विनिवर्तते ॥ ४.१४.१२ ॥
As long as Vālin, though slain, writhes in the dust in the forest, if he comes within sight, he will return alive.
4.14.13
ततो दोषेण मागच्छेत् सद्यो गर्हेच्च मां भवान्।
प्रत्यक्षं सप्त ते साला मया बाणेन दारिताः ॥ ४.१४.१३ ॥
Then, let him not come out in fault; and you may at once blame me. Before your very eyes I pierced those seven sāla trees with an arrow.
4.14.14
तेनावेहि बलेनाद्य वालिनं निहतं रणे।
अनृतं नोक्तपूर्वं मे चिरं कृच्छ्रेऽपि तिष्ठता ॥ ४.१४.१४ ॥
Know that by that same strength Vāli has today been slain in battle. Though I have remained long in distress, I have never before spoken a falsehood.
4.14.15
धर्मलोभपरीतेन न च वक्ष्ये कथंचन।
सफलां च करिष्यामि प्रतिज्ञां जहि संभ्रमम् ॥ ४.१४.१५ ॥
Held by a longing for dharma, I will in no way speak (falsely); I will make my vow fulfilled. Cast off your agitation.
4.14.16
प्रसूतं कलमक्षेत्रं वर्षेणेव शतक्रतुः।
तदाह्वाननिमित्तं च वालिनो हेममालिनः ॥ ४.१४.१६ ॥
As Śatakratu (Indra) brings forth a field of kalama-rice with rain, so did he do that for the sake of challenging Vāli, the gold-garlanded one.
4.14.17
सुग्रीव कुरु तं शब्दं निष्पतेद् येन वानरः।
जितकाशी जयश्लाघी त्वया चाधर्षितः पुरात् ॥ ४.१४.१७ ॥
O Sugrīva, make that sound by which that monkey may come forth—he who thinks himself victorious, who boasts of victory, and whom you insulted from the city.
4.14.18
निष्पतिष्यत्यसङ्गेन वाली स प्रियसंयुगः।
रिपूणां धर्षितं श्रुत्वा मर्षयन्ति न संयुगे ॥ ४.१४.१८ ॥
That Vāli, who delights in battle, will come forth without delay; for having heard of an insult from enemies, warriors do not endure it in battle.
4.14.19
जानन्तस्तु स्वकं वीर्यं स्त्रीसमक्षं विशेषतः।
स तु रामवचः श्रुत्वा सुग्रीवो हेमपिङ्गलः ॥ ४.१४.१९ ॥
Knowing his own valour, especially in the presence of women, Sugrīva, golden-tawny, having heard Rāma's words, (grew enraged).
4.14.20
ननर्द क्रूरनादेन विनिर्भिन्दन्निवाम्बरम्।
तत्र शब्देन वित्रस्ता गावो यान्ति हतप्रभाः ॥ ४.१४.२० ॥
He roared with a fierce sound, as if splitting the sky. Frightened by that sound, the cattle fled, deprived of their lustre.
4.14.21
राजदोषपरामृष्टाः कुलस्त्रिय इवाकुलाः।
द्रवन्ति च मृगाः शीघ्रं भग्ना इव रणे हयाः।
पतन्ति च खगा भूमौ क्षीणपुण्या इव ग्रहाः ॥ ४.१४.२१ ॥
Like noblewomen distressed by a king's fault, the deer swiftly fled, and like horses broken in battle they ran. Like planets whose merit is spent, the birds fell to the ground.
4.14.22
ततः स जीमूतकृतप्रणादो
नादं ह्यमुञ्चत् त्वरया प्रतीतः।
सूर्यात्मजः शौर्यविवृद्धतेजाः
सरित्पतिर्वाऽनिलचञ्चलोर्मिः ॥ ४.१४.२२ ॥
Then he, the son of the Sun, whose roar was like a thundercloud, his brilliance grown with valour, delighted, swiftly released a roar, like the lord of rivers whose waves are stirred by the wind.
