Verse 37.38

बृहत्कौतूहले चास्मिन्संवृतो मुनिपुंगवा उत्पत्तिर्यादृशी दिव्या वालिसुग्रीवयोजि॥ किं चित्रं मम ब्रह्मर्षे सुरेन्द्रतपनावुभौ। जातौ वानरशार्दूलौ बलेन बलिनां वरौ॥

bṛhatkautūhale cāsminsaṃvṛto munipuṃgavā utpattiryādṛśī divyā vālisugrīvayoji|| kiṃ citraṃ mama brahmarṣe surendratapanāvubhau| jātau vānaraśārdūlau balena balināṃ varau||

English Meaning

O foremost of Munis, I was greatly worked up with curiosity in this matter. I am not the least surprised to learn, O twice-born one, that those two sons of the celestials would be two highly powerful leading monkeys since their origin is divine.”
