For in every way my brother
has a protector, lord of monkeys,
in you, Sugriva, his protector,
and you so courteous above all …
With you for his ally, Sugriva,
Rama, the mighty,
will slay his foes in battle, and soon;
of this there is no doubt.

But quickly, hero, go out from here,
go out with me,
and comfort your friend,
grieving for his wife, carried off.
And what, hearing the words of Rama,
overwhelmed by grief,
I said to you in harshness,
that too you should forgive.
