He greeted next, supreme in place,

The sovereign of the Vánar race,

And Jámbaván and Báli's son,

And lords and chiefs, omitting none.[1027]

Sugríva to his heart he pressed

And thus with grateful words addressed:

“Four brothers, Vánar king, were we,

And now we boast a fifth in thee.

By kindly acts a friend we know:

Offence and wrong proclaim the foe.”
