As Sugriva was speaking thus with joined hands, that best of the
righteous, Rama, embraced him with his arms, and then replied, "That
Indra poureth down showers, is no wonder, nor that this thousand-rayed
Sun dispells darkness from the sky; nor yet that, O mild one, the Moon
by his rays causes the clear night. (And in a similar way), friends like
thee bring delight, O subduer of foes. O mild one, that whatever is
graceful, should be harboured in thee is not strange.[133] I know, O
Sugriva, that thou always speakst what is for my good. Assisted by thee,
my friend, I shall in battle vanquish all my foes. Thou being my friend
and my ally, shouldst assist me. That worst of Rakshasas hath carried
away Maithili, to bring down destruction upon himself, even as Anuhlada
ravished Puloma's daughter, Sachi, deceiving her sire. That Ravana I
will at no distant date slay with my sharpened shafts, even as that
slayer of enemies, he of an hundred sacrifices--slew the haughty father
of Paulomi." Presently appeared volumes of dust, and the hot and fierce
rays of the sun were hid in the sky. And darkened by the gloom, all
sides became bewildered. And the entire earth with her mountains,
forests, and woods, trembled. Then the whole ground was covered with
innumerable monkeys gifted with great strength, and having sharp teeth,
and resembling kings of men. Then surrounded by leaders of monkey-herds
and retinues numbering hundreds of _kotis_, and monkey chiefs from
rivers, and mountains, and seas, endowed with prodigious strength, and
other apes inhabiting forests, having voices resembling clouds--and
monkeys hued like the infant sun, or white like the moon, or colored
like the filaments of the lotus, or pale, having their homes in the
Golden mountain--in all, numbering ten thousand _kotis_,--appeared the
graceful and heroic monkey, named Satavali. Then, having the splendour
of the Golden hill, the puissant sire of Tara was seen at the head of
many thousand _kotis_. Then Uma's father, that lord, the father-in-law
of Sugriva, arrived, accompanied with other thousands of _kotis_ (of
monkeys),--resembling the filaments of the lotus, of face like unto the
youthful sun, intelligent, the foremost of monkeys--supreme among them
all. And Hanuman's father, the graceful Kecarin, appeared in company
with many thousands of monkeys. And Gavaksha--sovereign of
Golangulas--endowed with dreadful might, appeared, surrounded by
thousands of _kotis_ of monkeys. And Dhumra of bears endowed with
terrific speed--destroyer of foes--appeared, surrounded by two thousand
_kotis_. And the leader of herds, named Panama, of exceeding prowess,
came, accompanied with three _kotis_, mighty and dreadful. And the
leader of herds, named Nila, of huge body, resembling a mass of blue
collyrium, appeared with ten _kotis_. Then the exceedingly powerful
Gavaya--leader of herds, having the splendour of the Golden mountain,
arrived with five _kotis_. And that powerful leader of herds--Darimukha,
came, surrounded by thousands of _kotis_, and took up his post by
Sugriva. And Mainda and Dwivida--sons of Acwi both--of mighty strength,
appeared with _kotis_ upon thousands of _kotis_ of monkeys. And the
powerful and heroic Gaya (came), surrounded by three _kotis_. And the
king of bears, Jambavan by name, (came), surrounded by ten _kotis_, and
enlisted himself under the command of Sugriva. And (the monkey) named
Rumana, possessed of energy, and strong, came swiftly, surrounded by an
hundred _kotis_ of powerful monkeys. Then, followed at his back by
hundreds and thousands of _kotis_, came the monkey, Gandhamadana. Then
came the young prince Angada, in prowess resembling his
sire,--accompanied by a thousand _padmas_ and an hundred _sankhas_. Then
appeared at a distance, accompanied by five _kotis_ of monkeys endowed
with dreadful prowess,--Tara, having the splendour of a star. And then
appeared Indrajanu, the heroic monkey and leader of herds--lord of
eleven _kotis_--surrounded by them. Then followed Rambha, resembling the
infant sun, accompanied by an _ayuta_, a thousand, and an hundred. Then
appeared to the view the stout monkey, named Durmukha, heroic lord of
herds, surrounded by two _kotis_. And Hanuman showed himself, surrounded
by a thousand _kotis_ of monkeys, resembling peaks of Kailaca, of
dreadful vigor. And the exceedingly energetic Nala came, attended with
an hundred _kotis_, a thousand, and an hundred monkeys, living in trees.
Then surrounded by ten _kotis_ (of monkeys), came the shapely Darimukha
before the high-souled Sugriva, from a country bordering on a river. And
Sarabha, Kumuda, Vahni, the monkey Rambha,--and many other
monkeys--lords of herds--passing ennumeration--wearing shapes at will,
came, covering the entire earth with her mountains and forests. And all
the monkeys of the world were some of them coming and others putting up.
And monkeys-- some of them dripping, and some leaping, and some
roaring--gathered round Sugriva, like clouds gathering round the sun.
And, crying in various tones, prime monkeys furnished with arms, with
bent heads spoke humbly to that lord of monkeys--Sugriva. And other
foremost of monkeys, gathering together duly, came before Sugriva with
joined hands. Sugriva standing with joined hands, expeditiously informed
Rama of the arrival of the monkey-leaders in hot haste; and then spake
(to them), saying, "O chiefs of monkeys, stationing the forces duly near
mountain-rills and all the woods, let him that is conversant with the
army, ascertain who have come and who have not."
[133] The commentator in his usual way of reading between the lines,
says that the sense is--_That thou hast gathered forces for
serving thy friend, is not strange. O placid one, it is well._ I
give the sense the _sloka_ naturally yields.--T.
SECTION XL.
Xhen that lord of monkeys, the successful Sugriva, spake unto Rama--lion
among men and destroyer of hostile hosts-- saying, "Those foremost
monkeys endeued with strength and capable of wearing any shape at will,
and possessed of the splendour of the mighty Indra,--that inhabit my
territories, have come and stationed themselves. And these monkeys--
dreadful, and resembling Daityas and Danavas--are accompanied by
powerful monkeys of terrific prowess, who have displayed their virtue in
many a field,--and are of famed renown in battle and, powerful, and who
have mastered languor and are celebrated in prowess and sterling in
their profession. O Rama, these _kotis_ of apes that have arrived,
inhabiting earth and water and various mountainous tracts, are at thy
service. All abide by thy command--all are intent upon the welfare of
their master, and, O subduer of foes, they are competent to bring about
thy end. And in company with many thousands and innumerable ones that
have shewn their ability in many a field, have come monkeys dreadful,
and resembling Daityas and Danavas. If, O lion among men, thou conceive
that the time is ripe, tell it (unto me). It behoves thee to command
those forces, remaining under thy sway. Although I am full well
acquainted with the work in which they are to be employed, yet thou
ought to order them as to what they are to accomplish." When Sugriva had
spoken thus, Dacaratha's son, Rama, embracing him with his arms, said,
"O placid one, do thou learn whether Videha's daughter is alive or not;
as well as ascertain the country, where, O thou endowed with eminent
wisdom, liveth Ravana. Having come at Vaidehi and Ravana's abode, shall
I then appoint the time along with thee. O lord of monkeys, I am not the
master in this matter, nor Lakshmana: thou art the cause of this
undertaking, as well as, O monarch of monkeys, the lord. Do thou
therefore, O lord, command these as to what is to be done by them in my
behalf. O hero, thou certainly knowest my business. My second friend
(Lakshmana being first), thou art potent, wise, conversant with
seasonableness, cognizant of profit, and engaged in our welfare." Thus
addressed, Sugriva in presence of Rama and the intelligent Lakshmana,
said unto a leader of herds and lord of apes, named Vinata, having the
splendour of a hill, blazing and emitting sounds as those of clouds, "O
foremost of monkeys, accompanied with apes resembling the sun and the
moon, thou cognizant of time, place and morals, and sagacious in
deciding course of action,--surrounded by hundreds and thousands of
active apes, march towards the Eastern quarter, furnished with woods,
forests and hills. There, in mountain fastnesses, and forests and
rivers, do thou search Videha's daughter, Sita, as well as the abode of
Ravana. And while on the search around for Rama's beloved wife, Sita,
daughter-in-law unto Dacaratha, thou shouldst search the beautiful
Bhagirathi, and the Sarayu, and the Kauciki; the Kalindi, and the
charming Yamuna, and the mighty hill bordering thereon; and the
Saraswati, and the Sindhu, and the Sona with water resembling ruby; and
the Mahi and Kalamahi, garnished with woods and hills,--the large
tracts--Brahmamalas, Videhas, and Malavans, and Kacikosalas, and
Magadhas, and Pundras, and Angas; and grounds native to silkworms, and
containing mines of silver; and mountains and cities embosmed in the
sea. Do thou also search through the houses in Mandara, --belonging to
people having ears resembling cloths, reaching their nether lips, and
mouths resembling iron, --one-footed and fleet withal; and whose
descendants never deteriorate;--and to anthropophagi; and hunters
dwelling on islands; having sharp hair, gold-hued, pleasing, and
subsisting on raw fish; and to creatures--tiger-man forms--terrible to
behold; and, ye dwellers of woods, do ye carefully search those places
that are accessible by crags and bounds,--and the island of Yava,
adorned by seven several kingdoms, and the island of Suvarna, and
Rupayaka,--thronged by gold miners. And, going beyond the island of
Yava, (one comes upon) the hill called Sisira, which pierceth the
heavens by its peaks, and is inhabited by gods and demons. In all these
mountain fastnesses, cascades and woods, do ye together search for the
renowned wife of Rama. Then, arriving at the rapid red waters going
under the name of Sona,and repairing to the other shore of the ocean,
the abode of Siddhas and Charanas, do ye search all round for Ravana in
company with Sita in the sweet sacred spots and picturesque woods. And
ye should explore forests, mountain-sprung streams, wild tracts subject
to storms, and mountains containing caverns. Then it behoves you to
examine horrible ocean islands, heaving with waves, terrific,
resounding,--of haughty bearing in consequence of winds. There,
huge-bodied Asuras, hungering for a long period, permitted by Brahma,
capture creatures, resorting to shades. And adroitly arriving at that
great sea, like unto clouds at the universal dissolution, inhabited by
mighty snakes, sending loud sounds,--and there, after passing the
terrific sea of red waters called Yellow, ye will behold a mighty
knarled Salmali, There, built by Vicwakarman, peak-like, gigantic,
resembling Kailaca, (towereth) the mansion of Vinata's offspring, named
Mandeha. There, grim Rakshasas named Mandehas, resembling hills, of
diverse shapes, capable of inspiring fear, hang head foremost on the
rocks. Day after day at sunrise, these Rakshasas heated (by solar rays)
and struck dead by Brahma energy,[134] again and again (hang on the
crags). Then wilt thou, O thou that art hard to repress, proceeding,
view the sea named Kshiroda, having the hue of pale clouds, and looking
like a necklace, because of the ripples (on its surface). In it there
are the mighty white mountains going by the name of Rishada, covered
with trees bearing oderous blossoms; as well as the tank known under the
name of Sudarcana, swarming with swans and shining silver lotuses having
golden filaments. Desirous of sport, resort to this tank delighted
troops of Vivudhas and Charanas, Yakshas, Kinnaras and Apsaras. Leaving
behind Kshiroda, ye moИсточники и права
