4.46.1
गतेषु वानरेन्द्रेषु रामः सुग्रीवमब्रवीत्।
कथं भवान् विजानीते सर्वं वै मण्डलं भुवः ॥ ४.४६.१ ॥
When the lords of the monkeys had departed, Rāma said to Sugrīva: "How do you know the whole circle of the earth?"
4.46.2
सुग्रीवश्च ततो राममुवाच प्रणतात्मवान्।
श्रूयतां सर्वमाख्यास्ये विस्तरेण वचो मम ॥ ४.४६.२ ॥
Then Sugrīva, with a humbled mind, said to Rāma: "Listen, I will tell you all my words in detail."
4.46.3
यदा तु दुन्दुभिं नाम दानवं महिषाकृतिम्।
प्रतिकालयते वाली मलयं प्रति पर्वतम् ॥ ४.४६.३ ॥
When Vālī challenged the demon named Dundubhi, who had the form of a buffalo, toward the Malaya mountain.
4.46.4
तदा विवेश महिषो मलयस्य गुहां प्रति।
विवेश वाली तत्रापि मलयं तज्जिघांसया ॥ ४.४६.४ ॥
Then the buffalo entered a cave of Malaya, and Vālī too entered Malaya there, wishing to kill it.
4.46.5
ततोऽहं तत्र निक्षिप्तो गुहाद्वारि विनीतवत्।
न च निष्क्रामते वाली तदा संवत्सरे गते ॥ ४.४६.५ ॥
Then I was placed there at the cave's mouth, humbly; Vālī did not come out, and a year passed.
4.46.6
ततः क्षतजवेगेन आपुपूरे तदा बिलम्।
तदहं विस्मितो दृष्ट्वा भ्रातुः शोकविषार्दितः ॥ ४.४६.६ ॥
Then the cave was filled by the rush of blood; seeing it, I was astonished, and tormented by the poison of grief for my brother.
4.46.7
अथाहं गतबुद्धिस्तु सुव्यक्तं निहतो गुरुः।
शिला पर्वतसंकाशा बिलद्वारि मया कृता ॥ ४.४६.७ ॥
Then, bereft of my wits, I plainly knew my elder brother was slain, and I set a rock like a mountain against the mouth of the cave.
4.46.8
अशक्नुवन्निष्क्रमितुं महिषो विनशिष्यति।
ततोऽहमागां किष्किन्धां निराशस्तस्य जीविते ॥ ४.४६.८ ॥
Unable to come out, he will perish like the buffalo demon. Then, despairing of his life, I returned to Kiṣkindhā.
4.46.9
राज्यं च सुमहत् प्राप्य तारां च रुमया सह।
मित्रैश्च सहितस्तत्र वसामि विगतज्वरः ॥ ४.४६.९ ॥
Having obtained a very great kingdom, together with Tārā and Rumā, and with my friends, I dwell there, free from anxiety.
4.46.10
आजगाम ततो वाली हत्वा तं वानरर्षभः।
ततोऽहमददां राज्यं गौरवाद् भययन्त्रितः ॥ ४.४६.१० ॥
Then Vālin, the bull among monkeys, came back after slaying him. Then, restrained by fear and out of respect, I gave the kingdom to him.
4.46.11
स मां जिघांसुर्दुष्टात्मा वाली प्रव्यथितेन्द्रियः।
परिकालयते वाली धावन्तं सचिवैः सह ॥ ४.४६.११ ॥
That wicked-minded Vālin, desiring to kill me, with his senses agitated, pursued me as I ran, together with his ministers.
4.46.12
ततोऽहं वालिना तेन सोऽनुबद्धः प्रधावितः।
नदीश्च विविधाः पश्यन् वनानि नगराणि च ॥ ४.४६.१२ ॥
Then, pursued by that Vālin, I fled, running on, seeing many rivers, forests and cities.
4.46.13
आदर्शतलसंकाशा ततो वै पृथिवी मया।
अलातचक्रप्रतिमा दृष्टा गोष्पदवत् कृता ॥ ४.४६.१३ ॥
Then I saw the earth, like the surface of a mirror, appearing like a wheel of blazing firebrands, made small like a cow's hoofprint.
4.46.14
पूर्वां दिशं ततो गत्वा पश्यामि विविधान् द्रुमान्।
पर्वतान् सदरीन् रम्यान् सरांसि विविधानि च ॥ ४.४६.१४ ॥
Then, going to the eastern direction, I saw various trees, delightful mountains with caves, and various lakes.
4.46.15
उदयं तत्र पश्यामि पर्वतं धातुमण्डितम्।
क्षीरोदं सागरं चैव नित्यमप्सरसालयम् ॥ ४.४६.१५ ॥
There I saw the mountain called Udaya, adorned with minerals, and the ocean of milk, the constant abode of the apsarās.
4.46.16
परिकाल्यमानस्तु तदा वालिनाभिद्रुतो ह्यहम्।
पुनरावृत्य सहसा प्रस्थितोऽहं तदा विभो ॥ ४.४६.१६ ॥
O lord, then, harassed and attacked by Vāli, I suddenly turned back and set out again.
4.46.17
दिशस्तस्यास्ततो भूयः प्रस्थितो दक्षिणां दिशम्।
विन्ध्यपादपसंकीर्णां चन्दनद्रुमशोभिताम् ॥ ४.४६.१७ ॥
Then from that direction I set out again toward the southern direction, thick with Vindhya trees and adorned with sandalwood trees.
4.46.18
द्रुमशैलान्तरे पश्यन् भूयो दक्षिणतोऽपराम्।
अपरां च दिशं प्राप्तो वालिना समभिद्रुतः ॥ ४.४६.१८ ॥
Looking among the tree-covered hills, I again reached from the south the western direction, hotly pursued by Vāli.
4.46.19
स पश्यन् विविधान् देशानस्तं च गिरिसत्तमम्।
प्राप्य चास्तं गिरिश्रेष्ठमुत्तरं सम्प्रधावितः ॥ ४.४६.१९ ॥
Seeing the various regions, and having reached the excellent mountain of Astagiri, he ran swiftly northward toward the best of mountains.
4.46.20
हिमवन्तं च मेरुं च समुद्रं च तथोत्तरम्।
यदा न विन्दे शरणं वालिना समभिद्रुतः ॥ ४.४६.२० ॥
Not even at the Himālaya, Meru, or the northern ocean did I find refuge when pursued by Vālin.
4.46.21
ततो मां बुद्धिसम्पन्नो हनुमान् वाक्यमब्रवीत्।
इदानीं मे स्मृतं राजन् यथा वाली हरीश्वरः ॥ ४.४६.२१ ॥
Then the intelligent Hanumān said to me, "O king, now I remember how Vālin, the lord of the monkeys..."
4.46.22
मतङ्गेन तदा शप्तो ह्यस्मिन्नाश्रममण्डले।
प्रविशेद् यदि वै वाली मूर्धास्य शतधा भवेत् ॥ ४.४६.२२ ॥
Mataṅga had cursed him then: if Vālin should enter this hermitage region, his head would burst into a hundred pieces.
4.46.23
तत्र वासः सुखोऽस्माकं निरुद्विग्नो भविष्यति।
ततः पर्वतमासाद्य ऋष्यमूकं नृपात्मज ॥ ४.४६.२३ ॥
There our dwelling will be pleasant and free from disquiet. Then, O prince, having reached the mountain Ṛṣyamūka...
4.46.24
न विवेश तदा वाली मतङ्गस्य भयात् तदा।
एवं मया तदा राजन् प्रत्यक्षमुपलक्षितम्।
पृथिवीमण्डलं सर्वं गुहामस्म्यागतस्ततः ॥ ४.४६.२४ ॥
Vālin did not enter, out of fear of Mataṅga. Thus, O king, I then saw the whole circle of the earth before me; and then I came to the cave.
