sarvavānararājaḥ āsīt bhāskaraḥ iva tejasā
35. Then, there was a king named Riksharajas, the father of Vali and Sugriva. He was the king of all monkeys and, by his splendor, was like the sun.
स तु राज्यं चिरं कृत्वा वानराणां हरीश्वरः ।
ततस्त्वर्क्षरजा नाम कालधर्मेण संगतः ॥३६॥
36. sa tu rājyaṃ ciraṃ kṛtvā vānarāṇāṃ harīśvaraḥ ,
tatastvarkṣarajā nāma kāladharmeṇa saṃgataḥ.
36. saḥ tu rājyam ciram kṛtvā vānarāṇām harīśvaraḥ
tataḥ tu ṛkṣarajā nāma kāladharmeṇa saṅgataḥ
36. saḥ tu harīśvaraḥ vānarāṇām rājyam ciram kṛtvā
tataḥ tu ṛkṣarajā nāma kāladharmeṇa saṅgataḥ
36. After ruling the kingdom of monkeys for a long time, that lord of monkeys, Riksharajas by name, then succumbed to the inevitability of death (kāladharma).
तस्मिन्नस्तमिते वाली मन्त्रिभिर्मन्त्रकोविदैः ।
पित्र्ये पदे कृतो राजा सुग्रीवो वालिनः पदे ॥३७॥
37. tasminnastamite vālī mantribhirmantrakovidaiḥ ,
pitrye pade kṛto rājā sugrīvo vālinaḥ pade.
37. tasmin astamite vālī mantribhiḥ mantra-kovidaiḥ
pitrye pade kṛtaḥ rājā sugrīvaḥ vālinaḥ pade
37. tasmin astamite mantra-kovidaiḥ mantribhiḥ vālī
pitrye pade rājā kṛtaḥ sugrīvaḥ vālinaḥ pade
37. Upon his (Riksharajas') passing, Vali was appointed king to the ancestral throne by the ministers skilled in counsel. (Later), Sugriva (also assumed the position) in Vali's place.
सुग्रीवेण समं त्वस्य अद्वैधं छिद्रवर्जितम् ।
अहार्यं सख्यमभवदनिलस्य यथाग्निना ॥३८॥
38. sugrīveṇa samaṃ tvasya advaidhaṃ chidravarjitam ,
ahāryaṃ sakhyamabhavadanilasya yathāgninā.
38. sugrīveṇa samam tu asya advaidham chidra-varjitam
ahāryam sakhyam abhavat anilasya yathā agninā
38. asya tu sugrīveṇa samam advaidham chidra-varjitam
ahāryam sakhyam abhavat yathā anilasya agninā
38. However, for him (Vali), an undivided, flawless, and unbreakable friendship arose with Sugriva, just as (the bond) of wind is with fire.
एष शापवशादेव न वेदबलमात्मनः ।
वालिसुग्रीवयोर्वैरं यदा राम समुत्थितम् ॥३९॥
39. eṣa śāpavaśādeva na vedabalamātmanaḥ ,
vālisugrīvayorvairaṃ yadā rāma samutthitam.
39. eṣaḥ śāpa-vaśāt eva na veda balam ātmanaḥ
vālisugrīvayoḥ vairam yadā rāma samutthitam
39. rāma,
yadā vālisugrīvayoḥ vairam samutthitam,
eṣaḥ tu śāpa-vaśāt eva ātmanaḥ balam na veda.
39. This one (Sugriva), solely due to the power of a curse, did not know his own inherent power (ātman), O Rāma, when the enmity between Vali and Sugriva arose.
न ह्येष राम सुग्रीवो भ्राम्यमाणो ऽपि वालिना ।
वेदयानो न च ह्येष बलमात्मनि मारुतिः ॥४०॥
40. na hyeṣa rāma sugrīvo bhrāmyamāṇo'pi vālinā ,
vedayāno na ca hyeṣa balamātmani mārutiḥ.
40. na hi eṣa rāma sugrīvaḥ bhrāmyamāṇaḥ api vālinā
vedayānaḥ na ca hi eṣa balam ātmani mārutiḥ
40. rāma eṣa sugrīvaḥ vālinā bhrāmyamāṇaḥ api balam na hi
vedayānaḥ ca hi eṣa mārutiḥ ātmani balam na vedayānaḥ
40. Indeed, O Rāma, this Sugrīva, even while being tormented by Vāli, does not truly know his own strength. And similarly, this Hanumān (māruti) also does not realize the power within himself (ātman).
पराक्रमोत्साहमतिप्रतापैः सौशील्यमाधुर्यनयानयैश्च ।
गाम्भीर्यचातुर्यसुवीर्यधैर्यैर्हनूमतः को ऽप्यधिको ऽस्ति लोके ॥४१॥
41. parākramotsāhamatipratāpaiḥ sauśīlyamādhuryanayānayaiśca ,
gāmbhīryacāturyasuvīryadhairyairhanūmataḥ ko'pyadhiko'sti loke.
41. parākramotsāhamatipratāpaiḥ
sauśīlyamādhuruyanayanayaiḥ ca
gāmbhīryacāturuyasuvīryadhairyaiḥ
hanumataḥ kaḥ api adhikaḥ asti loke
41. hanumataḥ parākramotsāhamatipratāpaiḥ
sauśīlyamādhuruyanayanayaiḥ
ca gāmbhīryacāturuyasuvīryadhairyaiḥ
adhikaḥ kaḥ api loke asti
41. Who in the world is superior to Hanumān in terms of valor, enthusiasm, intellect, and majesty; in good conduct, sweetness, policy, and expediency; and in depth, cleverness, great heroism, and fortitude?
असौ पुरा व्याकरणं ग्रहीष्यन् सूर्योन्मुखः पृष्ठगमः कपीन्द्रः ।
उद्यद्गिरेरस्तगिरिं जगाम ग्रन्थं महद्धारयदप्रमेयः ॥४२॥
42. asau purā vyākaraṇaṃ grahīṣyan sūryonmukhaḥ pṛṣṭhagamaḥ kapīndraḥ ,
udyadgirerastagiriṃ jagāma granthaṃ mahaddhārayadaprameyaḥ.
42. asau purā vyākaraṇam grahīṣyan
sūryonmukhaḥ pṛṣṭhagamaḥ kapīndraḥ
udyatgireḥ astagirim jagāma
grantham mahat dhārayat aprameyaḥ
42. purā asau aprameyaḥ kapīndraḥ
vyākaraṇam grahīṣyan sūryonmukhaḥ
pṛṣṭhagamaḥ udyatgireḥ astagirim
jagāma mahat grantham dhārayat
42. Formerly, this chief of monkeys (kapīndra) – immeasurable (aprameya) as he is – desiring to learn grammar (vyākaraṇa), went from the rising mountain to the setting mountain, facing the sun and moving backward, all the while absorbing a vast amount of knowledge (grantha).
प्रवीविविक्षोरिव सागरस्य लोकान्दिधक्षोरिव पावकस्य ।
लोकक्षयेष्वेव यथान्तकस्य हनूमतः स्थास्यति कः पुरस्तात् ॥४३॥
43. pravīvivikṣoriva sāgarasya lokāndidhakṣoriva pāvakasya ,
lokakṣayeṣveva yathāntakasya hanūmataḥ sthāsyati kaḥ purastāt.
43. pravīvivikṣoḥ iva sāgarasya
lokān didhakṣoḥ iva pāvakasya
lokakṣayeṣu eva yathā antakasya
hanumataḥ sthāsyati kaḥ purastāt
43. sāgarasya pravīvivikṣoḥ iva
pāvakasya lokān didhakṣoḥ iva
lokakṣayeṣu eva yathā antakasya
hanumataḥ purastāt kaḥ sthāsyati
43. Who could stand before Hanumān, who is like the ocean intending to engulf, like fire intending to consume the worlds, or just like Death (antaka) himself during the cosmic dissolutions?
एषो ऽपि चान्ये च महाकपीन्द्राः सुग्रीवमैन्दद्विविदाः सनीलाः ।
सतारतारेयनलाः सरम्भास्त्वत्कारणाद् राम सुरैर्हि सृष्टाः ॥४४॥
44. eṣo'pi cānye ca mahākapīndrāḥ sugrīvamaindadvividāḥ sanīlāḥ ,
satāratāreyanalāḥ sarambhāstvatkāraṇād rāma surairhi sṛṣṭāḥ.
44. eṣaḥ api ca anye ca mahākapīndrāḥ
sugrīvamaindadvividāḥ sanīlāḥ
satāratāreyanalāḥ sarambhāḥ
tvatkāraṇāt rāma suraiḥ hi sṛṣṭāḥ
44. rāma eṣaḥ api ca anye ca
mahākapīndrāḥ sugrīvamaindadvividāḥ
sanīlāḥ satāratāreyanalāḥ sarambhāḥ
tvatkāraṇāt suraiḥ hi sṛṣṭāḥ
44. O Rama, this one (Hanuman) and also other great monkey chiefs, namely Sugriva, Mainda, Dvivida along with Nila, and Tara, Tareya, Nala, and Rambha – all these were indeed created by the gods for your sake.
तदेतत् कथितं सर्वं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि ।
हनूमतो बालभावे कर्मैतत् कथितं मया ॥४५॥
45. tadetat kathitaṃ sarvaṃ yanmāṃ tvaṃ paripṛcchasi ,
hanūmato bālabhāve karmaitat kathitaṃ mayā.
45. tat etat kathitam sarvam yat mām tvam paripṛcchasi
hanūmataḥ bālabhāve karma etat kathitam mayā
45. tvam yat mām paripṛcchasi,
tat etat sarvam kathitam.
mayā hanūmataḥ bālabhāve etat karma kathitam.
45. All that you inquired of me has been narrated. This deed (karma) of Hanuman during his childhood has been related by me.
दृष्टः संभाषितश्चासि राम गच्छमहे वयम् ।
एवमुक्त्वा गताः सर्वे ऋषयस्ते यथागतम् ॥४६॥
46. dṛṣṭaḥ saṃbhāṣitaścāsi rāma gacchamahe vayam ,
evamuktvā gatāḥ sarve ṛṣayaste yathāgatam.
46. dṛṣṭaḥ saṃbhāṣitaḥ ca asi rāma gacchāmahe vayam
evam uktvā gatāḥ sarve ṛṣayaḥ te yathāgatam
46. rāma,
tvam dṛṣṭaḥ ca saṃbhāṣitaḥ asi.
vayam gacchāmahe.
evam uktvā,
te sarve ṛṣayaḥ yathāgatam gatāḥ.
46. O Rama, you have been seen and addressed. We are now departing. Having spoken thus, all those sages returned the way they had come.
