नरः प्रत्युपकाराणामापस्त्वायाति पात्रताम् ॥ ७.४०.२२ ॥

ततो ऽस्य हारं चन्द्राभं मुच्य कण्ठात्स राघवः ।
वैडूर्यतरलं कण्ठे बबन्ध च हनूमतः ॥ ७.४०.२३ ॥

तेनोरसि निबद्धेन हारेण महता कपिः ।
रराज हेमशैलेन्द्रश्चन्द्रेणाक्रान्तमस्तकः ॥ ७.४०.२४ ॥
With that great necklace fastened upon his chest, the monkey shone like the golden king of mountains, Meru, its summit overspread by the moon.
7.40.25
श्रुत्वा तु राघवस्यैतदुत्थायोत्थाय वानराः ।
प्रणम्य शिरसा पादौ निर्जग्मुस्ते महाबलाः ॥ ७.४०.२५ ॥
Hearing these words of Rāghava, the monkeys rose again and again, bowed with their heads at his feet, and those mighty ones departed.
7.40.26
सुग्रीवः स च रामेण निरन्तरमुरोगतः ।
विभीषणश्च धर्मात्मा सर्वे ते बाष्पविक्लवाः ॥ ७.४०.२६ ॥
Sugrīva, pressed close to Rāma's chest, and the righteous-souled Vibhīṣaṇa — all of them were overcome with tears.
7.40.27
सर्वे च ते बाष्पकलाः साश्रुनेत्रा विचेतसः ।
सम्मूढा इव दुःखेन त्यजन्तो राघवं तदा ॥ ७.४०.२७ ॥
All of them, with tear-filled hearts and wet eyes, bewildered in mind, as if deluded by sorrow, were leaving Rāghava at that time.
7.40.28
कृतप्रसादास्तेनैवं राघवेण महात्मना ।
जग्मुः स्वं स्वं गृहं सर्वे देही देहमिव त्यजन् ॥ ७.४०.२८ ॥
Having received grace from the great-souled Rāghava in this way, they all went each to his own home, like the embodied soul leaving its body.
7.40.29
ततस्तु ते राक्षसऋक्षवानराः प्रणम्य रामं रघुवंशवर्धनम् ।
वियोगजाश्रुप्रतिपूर्णलोचनाः प्रतिप्रयातास्तु यथा निवासिनः ॥ ७.४०.२९ ॥
Then those rākṣasas, bears and monkeys, bowing to Rāma, the increaser of the Raghu line, with eyes brimming with tears born of separation, turned back like people returning to their dwellings.
