Honey-Grove Episode
परस्परं केचिदुपाश्रयन्ते परस्परं केचिदुपाक्रमन्ते।परस्परं केचिदुपब्रुवन्ते परस्परं केचिदुपारमन्ते।।।।
parasparaṁ kecid upāśrayante parasparaṁ kecid upākramante | parasparaṁ kecid upabruvante parasparaṁ kecid upāramante ||
কেউ কেউ পরস্পরের আশ্রয় নিয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছিল, কেউ কেউ পরস্পরকে আলিঙ্গন করে ধরে রেখেছিল। কেউ কাছে এসে ফিসফিসিয়ে কথা বলছিল, আর কেউ ক্রীড়ায় পরস্পরকে হাসিয়ে আনন্দ দিচ্ছিল॥
While some supported one another, some held each other, some exchanged secrets with one another, some entertained one another.

The poet depicts the Vānaras’ affectionate, mutual interactions during their celebration in the grove.
Solidarity—shared burdens and shared joy, expressed as mutual reliance and companionship.
