sa me hariśreṣṭha salakṣmaṇaṁ patiṁ sayūthapaṁ kṣipram ihopapādaya |
cirāya rāmaṁ prati śokakarśitāṁ kuruṣva māṁ vānaramukhya harṣitām ||
Maka, wahai yang terbaik di antara para Hari (Wanara), segeralah hadirkan tuanku ke sini—Rama beserta Laksmana, juga bersama panglima pasukan. Wahai pemuka Wanara, bahagiakanlah aku yang telah lama terkikis oleh duka karena Rama.
"O foremost of the vanaras! get Rama here along with Lakshmana and the lord of vanara troops quickly. O chief of vanaras! this way you can bring happiness to one like me who is emaciated with suffering on account of Rama.ইত্যার্ষে শ্রীমদ্রামাযণে বাল্মীকীয আদিকাব্যে সুন্দরকাণ্ডে সপ্তত্রিংশস্সর্গঃ৷৷Thus ends the thirtyseventh sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
