48. Neither through avarice nor through dread has the lord of the monkeys gone to Rama, so that he may be amenable to defection. He has abided by the path of the good and has acquired (his) kingdom ; he went to (Rama) for doing (him) a good (turn) in return.
49. Eating fruit, resorting to groves and springs, unacquainted with the joys of sex (Cupid) with divine damsels, belonging to a lower species, not obtainable by excellent jewels, the (other) chiefs of monkeys too are not amenable to secret overtures.
