English Meaning
Having despatched those monkeys in a southern direction, Sugrīva spoke to the monkey named Susena, resembling a mass of clouds. Approaching his father-in-law, Tara's father, possessed of dreadful prowess, the king, bowing and with joined hands, spoke to him. And Sugriva commanded the Maharsi's son, Marica, and the mighty ape Archishmat, surrounded by the heroic foremost of monkeys,-possessing the splendour of Mahendra, gifted with sense and vigour; and resembling the offspring himself of Vinată in brightness; and Mārīci's son,-the Mārīcas—the mighty Archirmālyas,-all these sons of the saint*. (to march) towards the West, saying,-You monkey-chiefs, let twice hundred thousand monkeys led by Sușeņa (set out) to search Vaidehi. Märīci.
