वनं निसृष्टपूर्वं ते नाशितं तत्तु वानरैः ॥ ५.६३.५ ॥
O king, the Madhuvana was destroyed neither by the bears, nor by you, nor by Vāli; that grove, once granted to you, has been destroyed by the monkeys.

न्यवारयमहं सर्वान् सहैभिर्वनचारिभिः।
अचिन्तयित्वा मां हृष्टा भक्षयन्ति पिबन्ति च ॥ ५.६३.६ ॥
I restrained all of them, together with these forest-wandering monkeys; but without heeding me, they eat and drink, joyful.

मामप्यचिन्तयन् देव भक्षयन्ति वनौकसः ॥ ५.६३.७ ॥
O lord, though the forest-guardians forbade them in the assault, heedless even of me, these forest-dwellers went on devouring.

निवार्यमाणास्ते सर्वे भ्रुकुटिं दर्शयन्ति हि ॥ ५.६३.८ ॥

इमे हि संरब्धतरास्तदा तैः सम्प्रधर्षिताः।
निवार्यन्ते वनात् तस्मात् क्रुद्धैर्वानरपुङ्गवैः ॥ ५.६३.९ ॥
Those who were then assaulted by them grew even more enraged; therefore they are being driven out of the forest by the angry best of monkeys.

प्रकृष्टाश्च तदा कामं देवमार्गं च दर्शिताः ॥ ५.६३.११ ॥
Some were struck down with hands, some were beaten with knees; then, dragged at will, they were shown the path of the gods.
5.63.12
एवमेते हताः शूरास्त्वयि तिष्ठति भर्तरि।
कृत्स्नं मधुवनं चैव प्रकामं तैश्च भक्ष्यते ॥ ५.६३.१२ ॥
Thus these heroes have been slain, while you, lord, are present; and the entire Madhuvana is being devoured by them at will.
5.63.13
एवं विज्ञाप्यमानं तं सुग्रीवं वानरर्षभम्।
अपृच्छत् तं महाप्राज्ञो लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा ॥ ५.६३.१३ ॥
Thus informed, Lakṣmaṇa, the very wise slayer of enemy heroes, asked Sugrīva, the bull among vānaras.

लक्ष्मणं प्रत्युवाचेदं वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः ॥ ५.६३.१५ ॥

वनं यदभिपन्नास्ते साधितं कर्म तद् ध्रुवम् ॥ ५.६३.१७ ॥
Those who had not accomplished their task would not commit such a transgression. They have reached the forest, so surely they have accomplished that deed.

पतिर्मम वनस्यायमस्माभिः स्थापितः स्वयम्।
दृष्टा देवी न संदेहो न चान्येन हनूमता ॥ ५.६३.१९ ॥
This lord of the grove was appointed by us ourselves. The goddess was seen by Hanumān — there is no doubt, and by no one else.

न ह्यन्यः साधने हेतुः कर्मणोऽस्य हनूमतः।
कार्यसिद्धिर्हनुमति मतिश्च हरिपुङ्गवे ॥ ५.६३.२० ॥

जाम्बवान् यत्र नेता स्यादङ्गदश्च महाबलः ॥ ५.६३.२१ ॥
Where Jāmbavān is the leader and the mighty Aṅgada is present, resolve, valour, and learning also stand firmly established.

आगतैश्चाप्रधृष्यं तद्धतं मधुवनं हि तैः ॥ ५.६३.२३ ॥
Having searched the southern quarter and returned, the best of monkeys — having come back — indeed destroyed that unassailable Madhu grove.

धर्षितं च वनं कृत्स्नमुपयुक्तं तु वानरैः।
पातिता वनपालास्ते तदा जानुभिराहताः ॥ ५.६३.२४ ॥
The monkeys assailed the entire grove and enjoyed it; then the grove-guardians were felled, struck down by blows of the knees.
5.63.25
एतदर्थमयं प्राप्तो वक्तुं मधुरवागिह।
नाम्ना दधिमुखो नाम हरिः प्रख्यातविक्रमः ॥ ५.६३.२५ ॥
For this very purpose has come here one sweet of speech, named Dadhimukha, a monkey of renowned valor.
5.63.26
दृष्टा सीता महाबाहो सौमित्रे पश्य तत्त्वतः।
अभिगम्य यथा सर्वे पिबन्ति मधु वानराः ॥ ५.६३.२६ ॥
Sītā has been seen, truly see it, O mighty-armed Saumitri. As all the monkeys go and drink honey, so have they reached there.
5.63.27
न चाप्यदृष्ट्वा वैदेहीं विश्रुताः पुरुषर्षभ।
वनं दत्तवरं दिव्यं धर्षयेयुर्वनौकसः ॥ ५.६३.२७ ॥
And without first seeing Vaidehī, O best of men, the renowned forest-dwelling monkeys, granted a divine boon, would never dare to ravage this divine forest.
5.63.28
ततः प्रहृष्टो धर्मात्मा लक्ष्मणः सहराघवः।
श्रुत्वा कर्णसुखां वाणीं सुग्रीववदनाच्च्युताम् ॥ ५.६३.२८ ॥
Then the righteous-souled Lakṣmaṇa, together with Rāghava, rejoiced greatly on hearing the speech pleasing to the ear, uttered from the mouth of Sugrīva.

प्राहृष्यत भृशं रामो लक्ष्मणश्च महायशाः।
श्रुत्वा दधिमुखस्यैवं सुग्रीवस्तु प्रहृष्य च ॥ ५.६३.२९ ॥
Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, of great fame, rejoiced greatly; and Sugrīva too was delighted on hearing such words from Dadhimukha.
5.63.30
वनपालं पुनर्वाक्यं सुग्रीवः प्रत्यभाषत।
प्रीतोऽस्मि सोऽहं यद्भुक्तं वनं तैः कृतकर्मभिः ॥ ५.६३.३० ॥
Sugrīva again addressed these words to the forest-keeper: "I am pleased with those doers of deeds who have enjoyed this forest."
5.63.31
धर्षितं मर्षणीयं च चेष्टितं कृतकर्मणाम्।
गच्छ शीघ्रं मधुवनं संरक्षस्व त्वमेव हि।
शीघ्रं प्रेषय सर्वांस्तान् हनूमत्प्रमुखान् कपीन् ॥ ५.६३.३१ ॥
The outrage they committed and their deed are to be forgiven. Go quickly and guard the Madhu grove yourself; send all those monkeys, led by Hanumān, at once.
5.63.32
इच्छामि शीघ्रं हनुमत्प्रधानान्-
शाखामृगांस्तान् मृगराजदर्पान्।
प्रष्टुं कृतार्थान् सह राघवाभ्यां
श्रोतुं च सीताधिगमे प्रयत्नम् ॥ ५.६३.३२ ॥
I wish to question quickly those tree-dwelling monkeys, led by Hanumān and proud as lions, and, with the two Rāghavas, to hear from them who have succeeded the effort made in finding Sītā.
5.63.33
प्रीतिस्फीताक्षौ सम्प्रहृष्टौ कुमारौ
दृष्ट्वा सिद्धार्थौ वानराणां च राजा।
अङ्गैः प्रहृष्टैः कार्यसिद्धिं विदित्वा
बाह्वोरासन्नामतिमात्रं ननन्द ॥ ५.६३.३३ ॥
Seeing the two princes, their eyes wide with love and greatly delighted, both successful in their aim, and perceiving the success of the task from their joyful limbs, the king of the monkeys rejoiced exceedingly as they came close to his arms.
