Chapter 46 — Sundara Kanda, Sarga 46

Valmiki Ramayana — Sundara Kanda

Verse 46.8

नावमन्यो भवद्भिश्च कपिीरपराक्रमः॥ दृष्टा हि हरयः शीघ्रं मया विपुलविक्रमाः। वाली च सह सुग्रीवो जाम्बवांश्च महाबलः॥ नीलः सेनापतिश्चैव ये चान्ये द्विविदादयः।

nāvamanyo bhavadbhiśca kapiīraparākramaḥ|| dṛṣṭā hi harayaḥ śīghraṃ mayā vipulavikramāḥ| vālī ca saha sugrīvo jāmbavāṃśca mahābalaḥ|| nīlaḥ senāpatiścaiva ye cānye dvividādayaḥ|

English Meaning

This monkey of deliberate prowess should not be disregarded by you. I have seen (There is a word sighra, soon-in this Śloka, of which I fail to perceive the relation) monkeys of immense prowess, Vāli with Sugrīva and the exceedingly powerful Jāmbavāna, and Nīla the general, and others with Dwivida at their head.
