त्वया परिगृहीतोऽयमङ्गदः शास्तु मेदिनीम् ॥ ४.२१.९ ॥

अङ्गदप्रतिरूपाणां पुत्राणामेकतः शतम्।
हतस्याप्यस्य वीरस्य गात्रसंश्लेषणं वरम् ॥ ४.२१.१३ ॥
Though a hundred sons like Aṅgada stood on one side, embracing the body of this slain hero would still be better.

नह्येषा बुद्धिरास्थेया हनूमन्नङ्गदं प्रति।
पिता हि बन्धुः पुत्रस्य न माता हरिसत्तम ॥ ४.२१.१५ ॥
O Hanumān, this is not the course to adopt regarding Aṅgada. O best of monkeys, a son's true kinsman is his father, not his mother.

क्षमतरमस्ति परत्र चेह वा।
अभिमुखहतवीरसेवितं
शयनमिदं मम सेवितुं क्षमम् ॥ ४.२१.१६ ॥
Nothing is more fitting for me, in this world or the next, than to rely on the monkey king. This bed, sought by heroes slain facing the foe, is the one fitting for me to lie on.
