With him in deeds of war compare.

Hear, I entreat, the words I say,

Nor lightly turn my rede away.

O let fraternal discord cease,

And link you in the bonds of peace.

Sugríva partner of thy reign.

Let war and thoughts of conflict end,

And be thou his and Ráma's friend,

Each soft approach of love begin,
