Verse 4.14

दनुर्नाम दितेः पुत्रः शापाद् राक्षसतां गतः। आख्यातस्तेन सुग्रीवः समर्थो वानराधिपः॥ स ज्ञास्यति महावीर्यस्तव भार्यापहारिणम्। एवमुक्त्वा दनुः स्वर्ग भ्राजमानो दिवं गतः॥

danurnāma diteḥ putraḥ śāpād rākṣasatāṃ gataḥ| ākhyātastena sugrīvaḥ samartho vānarādhipaḥ|| sa jñāsyati mahāvīryastava bhāryāpahāriṇam| evamuktvā danuḥ svarga bhrājamāno divaṃ gataḥ||

English Meaning

A son of Diti named Danu, had, by virtue of an imprecation, undergone Raksasa-hood. He it is who had related to us all about the capable Sugrīva.—That exceedingly puissant one shall have a knowledge of the ravisher of your wife? Having said this, Danu beaming (with a halo) went to heaven.
