अयं च वीर संदेहस्तिष्ठतीव ममाग्रतः। सुमहांस्त्वत्सहायेषु हर्युक्षेषु हरीश्वरः॥ कथं नु खलु दुष्पारं तरिष्यति महोदधिम्। तानि हपृक्षसैन्यानि तौ वा नरवरात्मजौ॥
ayaṃ ca vīra saṃdehastiṣṭhatīva mamāgrataḥ| sumahāṃstvatsahāyeṣu haryukṣeṣu harīśvaraḥ|| kathaṃ nu khalu duṣpāraṃ tariṣyati mahodadhim| tāni hapṛkṣasainyāni tau vā naravarātmajau||
English Meaning
And, O hero, O lord of monkeys, this doubt is also before me. How, alas! shall the mighty lord of monkeys, albeit backed by the monkeys and bears, cross over the mighty main hard to cross, and (how shall) those forces consisting of bears and monkeys or those sons of the best of men (cross over the same)?
