"The one whom you see standing in the midst is the king of all chiefs of the Vanara army, a highly glorious one, steady like a mountain. like Himalayas that outshines all mountains, he surpasses all in fame, in intellect, in wisdom and in lineage. That monkey chief resides in the mountain cave fort with thickly grown trees around in the middle of Kishkinda, which is difficult to access, and is surrounded by his army chiefs. See the golden chain on him shining away with hundred lotuses in which stands Lakshmi installed which is difficult even for gods and human beings to covet. In the same way as the golden chain, even his beloved Tara and kingdom of the monkeys was permanently bestowed upon him by Rama after slaying Vali."
