Verse 14.5

दृष्ट्वा रामं क्रियादक्षं सुग्रीवो वाक्यमब्रवीत्। हरिवागुरया व्याप्तां तप्तकाञ्चनतोरणाम्॥ प्राप्ताः स्म ध्वजयन्त्राढ्यां किष्किन्धां वालिनः पुरीम्। प्रतिज्ञा या कृता वीर त्वया वालिवधे पुरा ॥

dṛṣṭvā rāmaṃ kriyādakṣaṃ sugrīvo vākyamabravīt| harivāgurayā vyāptāṃ taptakāñcanatoraṇām|| prāptāḥ sma dhvajayantrāḍhyāṃ kiṣkindhāṃ vālinaḥ purīm| pratijñā yā kṛtā vīra tvayā vālivadhe purā ||

English Meaning

You have reached Kiskindhā, Vāli's capital, adorned with gold, filled with pennons and instruments and surrounded by monkeys. Do you make good your promise, O hero, you hadst made before to encompass the destruction of Vāli like to the season making the creepers filled with fruits.
