23. The modest monkey, Maruti, ever vigilant about (his) tasks, ushered into the cave that radiant and unshakable enemy of the demons (Laksmana).
24. Surrounded by lovely ladies, desirous of his own security and coveting (his) favour, Sugriva spoke to the King (Laksmana) :
25. ‘‘Sleepy (and) fearless, I, the lord, stayed here along with doting and radiant ladies, through your favour.
26 . Engrossed in the enjoyments provided by (the favour of Rama, I did not notice the disappearance of the lightning fashes, the lustre of the sun and the well-shining moon.
27 . Here (and) now, do I dispatch, (my) lord, brave monkeys, destroyers of (Rama's) grief and traversing to the end of the earth, mountains and oceans.
