そのとき、風神の子の統率のもと、喜びに満ちて心を一つにした、雄牛のごとき跳躍の猿たちは、マヘーンドラ山を離れ、つぎつぎと大きく跳んで進んだ。須弥山と曼陀羅山にも比すべき巨体と大力を備え、発情した大象のように猛々しく、跳ぶたびに天空を覆うかと思われた。万有の生きとし生けるものは、自制に富み、強大で疾風のごときハヌマーンを讃え、猿たちは瞬きもせず彼を見つめ、まるで眼差しで彼を運ぶかのようであった。ラグハヴァの目的を成就し、至上の名誉を得んと決し、彼らは心を整え—力量に差はあれ—成功に励まされて奮い立った。皆が和やかな語らいを望み、皆が戦いを喜び、皆が堅固な心で、ラーマの大義のために行動すると定めていた。
Thereafter led by Hanuman, all the vanaras left Mahendra mountain and marched very happily. The vanaras were strong and huge like elephants and resembled mountain Meru. Moreover when they leaped up they seemed to cover the sky (so it was difficult to tell their numbers). Since Hanuman had accomplished the task, the vanaras were praising his strength, his swiftness and courage. They were looking at Hanuman without blinking their eyes, and seemed as though they were carrying him by their eyes. They were determined in their minds to please Rama. Remaining in a state of offering themselves, some of them more accomplished than others, collected together eager to wage war and talking pleasantly among themselves having resolved to assist Rama.
