सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
स मालया तदा वीर: शुशुभे कण्ठसक्तया । श्रीमानिव महाशैलो मलयो मेघमालया,कण्ठमें पड़ी हुई उस मालासे वीर सुग्रीव उस समय मेघपंक्तिसे सुशोभित महापर्वत मलयकी भाँति शोभा पा रहे थे
sa mālayā tadā vīraḥ śuśubhe kaṇṭha-saktayā | śrīmān iva mahāśailo malayo megha-mālayā ||
Disse Mārkaṇḍeya: Naquele momento, o herói Sugrīva brilhava com a grinalda pousada em seu pescoço, assim como o esplêndido grande monte Malaya se torna belo quando adornado por uma fileira de nuvens como se fosse uma grinalda.

Educational Q&A
The verse suggests that true splendor is not merely external; when a hero’s adornment is appropriate and auspicious, it becomes a sign of inner vitality and dignity, like nature’s own ornamentation of a mountain with clouds.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes Sugrīva at that moment: a garland lies upon his neck, enhancing his radiance. The poet compares this beauty to Mount Malaya appearing magnificent when encircled by cloud-bands.
