このマドゥヴァナ（Madhuvana）は、父や祖父の代より長老たちに守られてきた家の遺産である。猿たちの主アンガダ（Aṅgada）が喜びに満ちていなければ、わがマドゥヴァナを損なうことはなかったであろう。おおラーマ（Rāma）よ、カウサリヤー（Kausalyā）の最もすぐれた御子、清き誓願に堅き者よ—どうか安んじて心を鎮めよ。
"If Angada, lord of the vanaras had not been happy, he would not have destroyed the Madhuvanam of my father's and my grandfather's time. O Rama, follower of righteous practices, Kausalya has an excellent son in you. Trust me.
