Anointed, and begin his sway.”

This answered, to Sugríva then

Thus spake anew the king of men:

“Do thou who knowest right ordain

Prince Angad consort of thy reign;

For he is noble, true, and bold,

And trained a righteous course to hold

Gifts like his sire's that youth adorn

Born eldest to the eldest born.
