Sugríva on Śatrunjay came,

An elephant of hugest frame:

Nine thousand others bore, behind,

The chieftains of the Vánar kind

All gay, in forms of human mould,

With rich attire and gems and gold.

Thus borne along in royal state

King Ráma reached Ayodbyá's gate

With merry noise of shells and drums

And joyful shouts, He comes, he comes,
