That in the battle shock mine eyes

The friend and foe may recognize.

Come, Lakshmaṇ, let that creeper deck

With brightest bloom Sugríva's neck,

And be a happy token, twined

Around the chief of lofty mind.”

Upon the mountain slope there grew

A threading creeper fair to view,

And Lakshmaṇ plucked the bloom and round

Sugríva's neck a garland wound.
