Verse 14.7

तमेवोवाच वचनं सुग्रीवं शत्रुसूदनः। कृताभिज्ञानचिह्नस्त्वमनया गजसाह्वया॥ लक्ष्मणेन समुत्पाट्य एषा कण्ठे कृता तव।

tamevovāca vacanaṃ sugrīvaṃ śatrusūdanaḥ| kṛtābhijñānacihnastvamanayā gajasāhvayā|| lakṣmaṇena samutpāṭya eṣā kaṇṭhe kṛtā tava|

English Meaning

Uprooting the Gaja creeper, Laksmana, has placed it around your neck as an emblem (to distinguish you). You does appear beautiful, O hero, with this creeper around your neck like to the sun on the sky engarlanded by the stars.
