5.60.1
तस्य तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा वालिसूनुरभाषत।
अश्विपुत्रौ महावेगौ बलवन्तौ प्लवंगमौ ॥ ५.६०.१ ॥
Having heard his words, Vāli's son spoke of the two sons of the Aśvins, the swift and mighty leaping monkeys.
5.60.2
पितामहवरोत्सेकात् परमं दर्पमास्थितौ।
अश्विनोर्माननार्थं हि सर्वलोकपितामहः ॥ ५.६०.२ ॥
Carried away by the arrogance of the grandfather's boon, the two held supreme pride; indeed, to honor the Aśvins, the grandfather of all worlds (Brahmā) had given them that boon.
5.60.3
सर्वावध्यत्वमतुलमनयोर्दत्तवान् पुरा।
वरोत्सेकेन मत्तौ च प्रमथ्य महतीं चमूम् ॥ ५.६०.३ ॥
Long ago he had granted these two an incomparable boon of being unslayable by all; intoxicated by the arrogance of that boon, they crushed a great army.
5.60.4
सुराणाममृतं वीरौ पीतवन्तौ महाबलौ।
एतावेव हि संक्रुद्धौ सवाजिरथकुञ्जराम् ॥ ५.६०.४ ॥
These two mighty heroes drank the nectar of the gods; when enraged, these two alone destroy an army together with horses, chariots and elephants.
5.60.5
लङ्कां नाशयितुं शक्तौ सर्वे तिष्ठन्तु वानराः।
अहमेकोऽपि पर्याप्तः सराक्षसगणां पुरीम् ॥ ५.६०.५ ॥
Only these two are able to destroy Laṅkā; let all the other monkeys remain. I alone am sufficient to destroy that city together with its hosts of rākṣasas.
5.60.6
तां लङ्कां तरसा हन्तुं रावणं च महाबलम्।
किं पुनः सहितो वीरैर्बलवद्भिः कृतात्मभिः ॥ ५.६०.६ ॥
To swiftly destroy that Laṅkā and strike down the mighty Rāvaṇa, I alone am enough; how much more so when accompanied by heroes, strong and self-controlled.
5.60.7
कृतास्त्रैः प्लवगैः शक्तैर्भवद्भिर्विजयैषिभिः।
वायुसूनोर्बलेनैव दग्धा लङ्केति नः श्रुतम् ॥ ५.६०.७ ॥
Skilled in weapons, capable and desiring victory, O leapers, we have heard that Laṅkā was burnt by the might of the son of the Wind alone.
5.60.8
दृष्टा देवी न चानीता इति तत्र निवेदितुम्।
न युक्तमिव पश्यामि भवद्भिः ख्यातपौरुषैः ॥ ५.६०.८ ॥
To report there that the goddess was seen but not brought back does not seem fitting to me, for you are men of renowned valour.
5.60.9
नहि वः प्लवने कश्चिन्नापि कश्चित् पराक्रमे।
तुल्यः सामरदैत्येषु लोकेषु हरिसत्तमाः ॥ ५.६०.९ ॥
O best of monkeys, none among you is equal to you in leaping, nor in valour, in all the worlds, even among gods and demons.
5.60.10
जित्वा लङ्कां सरक्षौघां हत्वा तं रावणं रणे।
सीतामादाय गच्छामः सिद्धार्था हृष्टमानसाः ॥ ५.६०.१० ॥
Having conquered Laṅkā with its host of guardians, and having slain that Rāvaṇa in battle, let us take Sītā and go, our purpose fulfilled and our hearts gladdened.
5.60.11
तेष्वेवं हतवीरेषु राक्षसेषु हनूमता।
किमन्यदत्र कर्तव्यं गृहीत्वा याम जानकीम् ॥ ५.६०.११ ॥
With the heroes among the rākṣasas thus slain by Hanumān, what else is there to be done here? Let us take Jānakī and go.
5.60.12
रामलक्ष्मणयोर्मध्ये न्यस्याम जनकात्मजाम्।
किं व्यलीकैस्तु तान् सर्वान् वानरान् वानरर्षभान् ॥ ५.६०.१२ ॥
Let us place Janaka's daughter between Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. What use is deceit toward all those monkeys, the bulls among monkeys?
5.60.13
वयमेव हि गत्वा तान् हत्वा राक्षसपुङ्गवान्।
राघवं द्रष्टुमर्हामः सुग्रीवं सहलक्ष्मणम् ॥ ५.६०.१३ ॥
We ourselves, having gone and slain those foremost rākṣasas, ought to see Rāghava, Sugrīva and Lakṣmaṇa.
5.60.14
तमेवं कृतसंकल्पं जाम्बवान् हरिसत्तमः।
उवाच परमप्रीतो वाक्यमर्थवदर्थवित् ॥ ५.६०.१४ ॥
To him, thus resolved, Jāmbavān, the best of monkeys, greatly pleased and knowing what is useful, spoke these meaningful words.
5.60.15
नैषा बुद्धिर्महाबुद्धे यद् ब्रवीषि महाकपे।
विचेतुं वयमाज्ञप्ता दक्षिणां दिशमुत्तमाम् ॥ ५.६०.१५ ॥
This is not the right counsel, O greatly wise one, O great monkey, that you speak; we have been commanded to search the excellent southern direction.
5.60.16
नानेतुं कपिराजेन नैव रामेण धीमता।
कथंचिन्निर्जितां सीतामस्माभिर्नाभिरोचयेत् ॥ ५.६०.१६ ॥
Neither the monkey king nor the wise Rāma has commanded us to bring back Sītā by any means after conquering her; they would not approve of this course of ours.
5.60.17
राघवो नृपशार्दूलः कुलं व्यपदिशन् स्वकम्।
प्रतिज्ञाय स्वयं राजा सीताविजयमग्रतः ॥ ५.६०.१७ ॥
Rāghava, the tiger among kings, invoking his own lineage, himself earlier vowed the conquest of Sītā.
5.60.18
सर्वेषां कपिमुख्यानां कथं मिथ्या करिष्यति।
विफलं कर्म च कृतं भवेत् तुष्टिर्न तस्य च ॥ ५.६०.१८ ॥
How could he make false the deeds of all the chief monkeys? The deed done would be fruitless, and he would have no satisfaction either.
5.60.19
वृथा च दर्शितं वीर्यं भवेद् वानरपुङ्गवाः।
तस्माद् गच्छाम वै सर्वे यत्र रामः सलक्ष्मणः।
सुग्रीवश्च महातेजाः कार्यस्यास्य निवेदने ॥ ५.६०.१९ ॥
Otherwise our valour will have been shown in vain. Therefore, O best of the monkeys, let us all go to where Rāma is, together with Lakṣmaṇa, and report the outcome of this task to the mighty Sugrīva.
5.60.20
न तावदेषा मतिरक्षमा नो
यथा भवान् पश्यति राजपुत्र।
यथा तु रामस्य मतिर्निविष्टा
तथा भवान् पश्यतु कार्यसिद्धिम् ॥ ५.६०.२० ॥
O prince, this counsel is not acceptable to us for now; yet as you see fit, so let it be. Just as Rāma's mind is fixed, so may you see the accomplishment of the task.
