हरयो वानरश्रेष्ठं परिवार्योपतस्थिरे ॥ ४.२.८ ॥
Those troop-leaders quickly approached and, surrounding the foremost of the vānaras, the bull of the herd, stood by him.

सम्भ्रमस्त्यज्यतामेष सर्वैर्वालिकृते महान्।
मलयोऽयं गिरिवरो भयं नेहास्ति वालिनः ॥ ४.२.१४ ॥

राजानो बहुमित्राश्च विश्वासो नात्र हि क्षमः ॥ ४.२.२१ ॥
I suspect these two, the best of men, were sent by Vālī; kings have many allies, so trust is not fitting here.

अरयश्च मनुष्येण विज्ञेयाश्छद्मचारिणः।
विश्वस्तानामविश्वस्ताश्छिद्रेषु प्रहरन्त्यपि ॥ ४.२.२२ ॥

इङ्गितानां प्रकारैश्च रूपव्याभाषणेन च ॥ ४.२.२४ ॥
O best of leapers, go as an ordinary man and learn about those two through the various kinds of gestures, their appearance and their speech.

लक्षयस्व तयोर्भावं प्रहृष्टमनसौ यदि।
विश्वासयन् प्रशंसाभिरिङ्गितैश्च पुनः पुनः ॥ ४.२.२५ ॥
Observe their disposition, if the two are glad at heart; winning their trust with praise and with signs, again and again.
4.2.26
ममैवाभिमुखं स्थित्वा पृच्छ त्वं हरिपुङ्गव।
प्रयोजनं प्रवेशस्य वनस्यास्य धनुर्धरौ ॥ ४.२.२६ ॥
Standing right before me, you, best of monkeys, ask them: what is the purpose of entering this forest, O you two bow-bearers?
4.2.27
शुद्धात्मानौ यदि त्वेतौ जानीहि त्वं प्लवङ्गम।
व्याभाषितैर्वा रूपैर्वा विज्ञेया दुष्टतानयोः ॥ ४.२.२७ ॥
O leaper, if these two are pure of heart, you must know it; their wickedness can be recognized by their speech or by their appearance.
4.2.28
इत्येवं कपिराजेन संदिष्टो मारुतात्मजः।
चकार गमने बुद्धिं यत्र तौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ॥ ४.२.२८ ॥

कपेः सुभीतस्य दुरासदस्य।
महानुभावो हनुमान् ययौ तदा
स यत्र रामोऽतिबली सलक्ष्मणः ॥ ४.२.२९ ॥
Saying "So be it," and honouring the word of that greatly frightened and inaccessible monkey, the mighty Hanumān then went to the place where Rāma, the very strong one, was with Lakṣmaṇa.
