Sūrya’s Counsel to Karṇa on Kīrti and the Kuṇḍala
स वानरमहासैन्य: पूर्णसागरसंनिभ: । निवेशमकरोत तत्र सुग्रीवानुमते तदा,वानरोंकी वह विशाल सेना भरे-पूरे महासागरके समान दिखायी देती थी। सुग्रीवकी आज्ञासे उस समय माल्यवान् पर्वतके आस-पास ही उस समस्त सेनाका पड़ाव पड़ गया
sa vānaramahāsainyaḥ pūrṇasāgarasaṃnibhaḥ | niveśam akarot tatra sugrīvānumate tadā ||
Mārkaṇḍeya said: “The vast army of monkeys, resembling a full and swelling ocean, then made its encampment there, with Sugrīva’s consent.”

Mārkaṇḍeya describes the immense Vānara host—likened to a full ocean—setting up camp at that place, doing so with Sugrīva’s approval.
