English Meaning
He whom you see staying in the middle like a firm-based mountain, the lord of all monkeys, inmeasurable prowess, and who in energy fame, intelligence, strength, and lineage, is as superior to the monkeys as the mountain Himavān overtopped all the mountains, who in company with the principal monkey-leaders dwelt in inac' essible Kiskindhā hard to penetrate, and dense with trees, and difficult of access, and denying approach on account of rocks; and whose golden garland consisting of an hundred lotuses looks exceedingly elegant, which is the desire of men and gods, and where is established Lakşmi-(is Sugrīva.).
