O mabait na kaibigan, magmadali kang umalis dito patungo sa Bundok ng mga Halamang-Gamot—yaong mapalad na bundok na sinabi na sa iyo noon ni Jāmbavān, O bayani. Sa timog na tuktok nito, dalhin mo ang mga halamang tumutubo roon: Savarṇakaraṇī, Sāvarṇyakaraṇī, Sañjīvakaraṇī, at ang dakilang halamang Sandhāni—upang maibalik sa buhay ang dakila at magiting na si Lakṣmaṇa.
"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."
