सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
तावृष्यमूकमभ्येत्य बहुमूलफलद्रुमम् । गिर्यग्रे वानरान् पजच वीरौ ददृशतुस्तदा,प्रचुर फल, मूल और वृक्षोंसे भरे हुए ऋष्यमूक पर्वतपर पहुँचकर उन दोनों वीरोंने देखा, पर्वतके शिखरपर पाँच वानर बैठे हुए हैं
tāv ṛṣyamūkam abhyetya bahu-mūla-phala-drumam | giry-agre vānārān pañca vīrau dadṛśatus tadā ||
Dijo Mārkaṇḍeya: Al llegar al monte Ṛṣyamūka, abundante en árboles cargados de raíces y frutos, los dos héroes vieron entonces a cinco monos sentados en la cumbre de la montaña.

Educational Q&A
In the wilderness setting, progress often comes through alertness and receptivity: noticing who is present and what the environment offers can open the way to crucial relationships and support. The verse hints at the ethical value of attentiveness and readiness for alliance in times of hardship.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that two heroic figures arrive at the fruit-and-root-rich Ṛṣyamūka mountain and, upon the summit, they see five monkeys seated there—an encounter that signals an impending interaction with vanaras.
