English Meaning
O Rāghava, bears and monkeys, heroic Golangulas—acquainted with woods and forests and strongholds, and of terrible shapes-and monkeys who are the sons of deities, wearing forms at will-stay on the way, O Raghava, surrounded by their own armies. And, O hero, O repressor of foes, monkeys surrounded by hundreds, and hundred thousands, and kotis, and ayutas, and sankus*, and arvudas and hundreds of arvudas, and Madhyas and antyas wait (here) And samudras, and parārdhas of monkeysleaders of herds — inhabiting Meru and Vindhya resembling clouds or hills, and in might resembling the great Indra, are on their way to you, O king. *A Sanku is thousand Arvudas; a Madhya is an Arvuda ten times; an Antya is a Modhya ten times; a Samudra is a Madhya twenty times; and Parārdha, a Samudra thirty times.
