Greeting duly those two heroes, having truth for their prowess, that best of monkeys addressed them in sweet accents in consonance with Sugriva's instructions. You are ascetics of celebrated austerities, resembling the Rājarșis and celestials and best of Brahmacaris, why have you come here causing fear to these deer and other wild animals of the forest? Surveying around the trees grown on the banks of Pampā, you have enhanced the beauty of this lake of auspicious water. Who are you two youthful figures of mighty arms, wearing bark, patient, sighing and troubling these wild animals? Heroic, of leonine looks, gifted with mighty strength and prowess, slayers of foes, and holding a bow like to that of Sakra; graceful, of a pleasant countenance, of prowess like to a mighty bull, having hands resembling the trunks of elephants, effulgent, great among men, youthful, beautifying this chief of mountains with the effulgence of your persons, worthy of having kingdoms, and like to celestials, why have you come here?
