O Vaidehī, mentioning your rape, the destruction of Vāli in that way, our fastings and Jatayu's death. While we were thus waiting, ready for death and giving up all hopes for the fulfilment of our master's behest, there appeared, as if the cause of our success, the mighty and powerful vulture, the brother of Jațãyu, by name Sampati.

Hearing those words of Sampāti, enhancing our delight, we all, headed by Angada, left that place. And leaping from the crest of Vindhya mountain we reached the excellent brink of the Ocean.

And worked up with a strong desire to see you, they again engaged in anxious thought. And beholding the ocean, the monkey hosts lost their heart.

There is a hill, O Vaidehi, named Malyavana, the foremost of all the mountains. There lives my father, the great monkey Kesari. Being commanded by the celestial ascetics, he once repaired thence to the mount Gokarna and at the holy watering place of the lord of the rivers he brought about the destruction of (the Asura) Sammasādana.
