Wahai yang lemah lembut, segeralah pergi dari sini ke Gunung Herba—gunung yang bertuah yang telah diceritakan Jāmbavān kepadamu dahulu, wahai pahlawan. Bawalah herba yang tumbuh di puncak selatannya: Savarṇakaraṇī, Sāvarṇyakaraṇī, Sañjīvakaraṇī, dan herba agung Sandhāni—demi menghidupkan kembali Lakṣmaṇa, pahlawan yang berjiwa besar.
"O gentle Hanumantha! Going to that mountain of herbs about which Jambavan had earlier spoken to you, get the herbs from the southern peak of that great mountain. To make Lakshmana the great soul alive quickly go and get Savarankarani, Sarvakarani so also Sanjeevakarani and Sandhanakarani and come."
