Thus addressed by the magnanimous Lakshmana, Sugriva said unto Hanuman,
staying beside him, "Those that dwell on the summits of Mahendra,
Himavat, Vindhya and Kailaca; on Mandara, the peaks of Pandu and the
five hills; on mountains wearing the hue of the infant sun, and ever
bright; and those inhabiting the West, beyond the sea; on mountains in
the mansions of the sun, looking like the evening sky; and those
dreadful foremost of monkeys that inhabit Padmachala, those monkeys
that, resembling collyrium-like clouds, and having the strength of the
lord of elephants, dwell in the Anjana hill; monkeys, possessing the
splendour of gold, inhabiting the caverns of Mahacaila; those resorting
to the sides of Meru, as well as those dwelling in the Dhumra mountains;
and those, having the hues of the infant sun, dwelling in the Maharuna
mountain, drinking the Maireya wine; and those dwelling in mighty fair
and fragrant forests and romantic hermitages all round, lying on the
skirts of woods,--do thou at once bring all these--all the foremost
monkeys of the world, by means of gifts and conciliation, and through
the agency of more than usually fleet monkeys. I know those monkeys that
I have first despatched, to be gifted with great velocity[130],--yet,
for urging speed upon them, do thou send other foremost of monkeys. Do
thou directly bring up here those monkey-chiefs that are given up to
lust or are dilatory. Those wicked ones, that finding fault with the
royal mandate, do not (come in) at my command within ten days, must be
slain. Let those hundreds and thousands and _kotis_ of leonine monkeys
that abide by my mandate, hie (hence) at my behest. Let (monkeys)
resembling clouds or mountains, cover up the sky; and let the foremost
monkeys of dreadful forms march hence at my command. Let all the monkeys
on earth, acquainted with motion, hying themselves and summoning speed
at my command, bring all the monkeys." Hearing the words of the
monkey-king, the son of the Wind-god despatched powerful monkeys in all
directions. Despatched by the king, the monkeys, ranging the sphere of
birds and stars, immediately went through the welkin. And on oceans and
mountains, in forests and tanks, the monkeys began to send away all the
apes on behalf of Rama. Hearing the mandate of that king of kings,
Sugriva, resembling the Hour of death, the monkeys, conceiving fear for
Sugriva, set out. And monkeys resembling collyrium (in hue), numbering
three _kotis_, endeued with huge might, set out from the Anjana hill for
the place where Raghava was. And ten _kotis_ having the splendour of
molten gold, inhabiting the mountain where the sun sets, set out. And a
thousand _kotis_, hued like the lion's mane, came from the peaks of
Kailaca. And of those dwelling in Himalaya, subsisting on fruits and
roots, numbering a thousand and _kotis_, a thousand appeared. And
thousands of dreadful monkeys of terrible deeds, hued like charcoal,
numbering _kotis_, rushed suddenly from Vindhya. And there exists no
record of the number of those inhabiting the shores of the ocean of
milk, and the dwellers in the Tamala forests, as well as those
subsisting on cocoanuts. And, as if drinking up the sun, the mighty
monkey host came from forests and caves and rivers. And it came to pass
that those heroic monkeys that had gone away to spur others on, found a
mighty tree on Himavat. On that sacred mount in days of yore there took
place a pleasing Mahecwara[131] sacrifice. There the monkeys found
grateful fruits and roots sprung from the streams of sacrificial
oblations, and resembling ambrosia. He that partakes of those excellent
fruits and roots sprung from the sacrificial ingredients, doth not
experience hunger for a month. Those prime monkeys, feeding on fruits,
gathered those sapid fruits and roots and medicinal herbs. And for
compassing the good of Sugriva, repairing thither, the monkeys brought
ordorous blossoms from the sacrificial ground. And all those foremost of
monkeys, taking all the monkeys of the earth, hastily set off in the van
of the herds. And in a short while, those fast-fleeting apes speedily
reached Kishkindha, where the monkey Sugriva was. And taking the healing
herbs and the fruits and roots, the monkeys made them over to Sugriva,
and said, "Having traversed mountains, rivers and forests, all the
monkeys of the earth bend their steps towards thee in obedience to thy
command." Hearing this, Sugriva--lord of monkeys--was well pleased, and
with a glad heart accepted all those presents.
[130] The commentator slips the sense here. According to him, the
meaning is, _Those monkeys whom I have first sent, are known to
me.--T._
[131] The celestial horse-sacrifice.--T.
SECTION XXXVIII.
Having accepted all those presents, (Sugriva), after soothing the
monkeys, dismissed them. Having dismissed the thousands of apes, who had
performed their task, he deemed himself as well as the mighty Raghava as
having secured success. Then Lakshmana in sweet words spoke unto the
exceedingly strong chief of monkeys--Sugriva-- gladdening him, "If it
please thee, O placid one, I will go out of Kishkindha." Hearing
Lakshmana's soft speech, Sugriva, highly delighted, said, "Be it so. Let
us go. I abide by thy behest." Having said this unto Lakshmana of
auspicious marks, Sugriva dismissed the women with Tara at their head.
Then Sugriva in a loud voice summoned the foremost monkeys, saying,
"Come (hither)." Hearing his words, those monkeys that could present
themselves before the females, did so with joined hands. To them, who
had presented themselves, said the king, of splendour resembling that of
the Sun, "Do, ye monkeys, bring hither a car." bearing his words,
monkeys uniting vigor with celerity, brought a car lovely to behold.
Seeing the car brought up, the lord of monkeys said unto Sumitra's son,
"O Lakshmana, ascend speedily." Having said this, Sugriva in company
with Lakshmana swiftly ascended the golden car resembling the sun, yoked
with numerous steeds. With a pale umbrella held over his head, and white
chowris waving around, with conchs and trumpets blowing, eulogized by
bards, Sugriva marched out, having obtained supreme regal
auspiciousness. And surrounded by hundreds of high-spirited apes and
armed people, he proceeded whither Rama was staying.-- And having
arrived at the excellent spot which was the home of Rama, that highly
energetic one alighted from the car along with Lakshmana. And having
come to Rama, Sugriva (stood) folding his hands. And when Sugriva had
folded his hands, the monkeys also did so. And beholding the mighty host
of the monkeys resembling a tank filled with lotus buds, Rama was
well-pleased with Sugriva. And raising up the monkey-king who had bent
his head at Rama's feet, Raghava embraced him from love and regard.
Having embraced Sugriva, that righteous one said unto him, "Be seated."
And seeing Sugriva seated on the ground, Rama said, "He, O best of
monkeys, is a king who, O hero, in season follows righteousness,
pleasure and profit, always dividing the same (among all.) He that,
renouncing righteousness and the good, devotes himself to pleasure
solely, is like a man that falling asleep on the top of a tree, wakes
when he hath fallen down. That king is verily virtuous that, engaged in
uprooting foes and advancing friends, attends to all the three ends. O
destroyer of foes, the time is come for exertion: do thou, O lord of
monkeys, bethink thyself along with thy monkey ministers." Thus
addressed, Sugriva said unto Rama, "O mighty-armed one, my lost luck,
and repute, and the entire monkey kingdom I have received back through
thy gift, owing to thine and thy brother's grace, thou foremost of
victors. He that, having received a good office, doth not requite it,
reapeth obloquy among persons. These hundreds of prime monkeys. O
destroyer of enemies, have come here, bringing with them all the monkeys
of the world. O Raghava, bears and monkeys, heroic
Golangulas--acquainted with woods and forests and strongholds, and of
terrible shapes--and monkeys who are the sons of deities, wearing forms
at will--stay on the way, O Raghava, surrounded by their own armies.
And, O hero, O repressor of foes, monkeys surrounded by hundreds, and
hundred thousands, and _kotis_, and _ayutas_, and _sankus_,[132] and
_arvudas_, and hundreds of _arvudas_, and _madhyas_, and _antyas_, wait
(here). And _samudras_, and _parardhas_ of monkeys--leaders of
herds--inhabiting Meru and Vindhya, resembling clouds or hills, and in
might resembling the great India, are on their way unto thee, O king.
They will join thee for battling the fiend in the field; and, slaying
Ravana in fight, shall bring Mithila's daughter."
Thereat the puissant son of the Earth's lord, witnessing the
preparations made by the heroic monkey, remaining under his command,
appeared like a blown blue lotus.
[132] A _Sanku_ is a thousand _Arvudas_; a _Madhya_ is an _Arvuda_ ten
times; an _Antya_ is a _Madhya_ ten times; a _Samudra_ is a
_Madhya_ twenty times; and a _Parardha_, a _Samudra_ thirty
times.--T.
