Devas, great seers, Gandharvas, Garuḍas, glory-famed Yakṣas, Nāgas, Kimpuruṣas, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, and Uragas—many of them, delighted, generated by the thousand enormous Vānaras, all forest-roamers, through the foremost Apsarases, through female Vidyādharas, through daughters of the Nāgas, and through the bodies of female Gandharvas.
The devatas, rishis, gandharvas, garudas, yakshas, kimpurushas, siddhas, vidyadharas, uragas and many others were immensely pleased. Thousands of gigantic monkeys wandering in forests were procreated from principal apsarasas - vidhyadaris, nagas, and gandharvas.

A catalog-like account describes how numerous divine and semi-divine groups participate in producing vast Vānara forces destined to assist Rāma’s future campaign.
Hṛṣṭatā (joyful willingness) in service: the participants act gladly for a righteous end, modeling cooperative duty rather than reluctant compliance.
