Doubt from Sugríva's heart had fled,

And thus to Raghu's son he said:

“No bliss the Gods of heaven deny.

Each views me with a favouring eye,

When thou, whom all good gifts attend,

Hast sought me and become my friend.

Leagued, friend, with thee in bold emprise

My arm might win the conquered skies;

And shall our banded strength be weak

To gain the realm which now I seek?
