English: That Indra poureth down showers, is no wonder, nor that this thousand-rayed Sun dispels darkness from the sky; nor yet that, O mild one, the Moon by his rays causes the clear night. (And in a similar way), friends like you bring delight, O subduer of foes. O mild one, that 'whatever is graceful, should be harboured in you is not strange.* *The commentator in his usual way of reading between the lines, says that the sense is—That you had gathered forces for serving your friend, is not strange. O placid one, it is well. I give the sense the śloka naturally yields.
Sanskrit: एवं त्वयि न तच्चित्रं भवेद् यत् सौम्य शोभनम्। जानाम्यहं त्वां सुग्रीव सततं प्रियवादिनम्॥
English: I know, O Sugrīva, that you always speakst what is for my good.
Sanskrit: त्वत्सनाथः सखे संख्ये जेतास्मि सकलानरीन्। त्वमेव मे सुहृन्मित्रं साहाय्यं कर्तुमर्हसि ॥
English: Assisted by you, my friend, I shall in battle vanquish all my foes. You being my friend and my ally, should assist me.
Sanskrit: जहारात्मविनाशाय मैथिली राक्षसाधमः। वञ्चयित्वा तु पौलोमीमनुह्लादो यथा शचीम्॥
English: That worst of Rākșasas has carried away Maithilī, to bring down destruction upon himself, even as Anuhlāda ravished Puloma's daughter, Sachi, deceiving her sire.
