yathā’sau samprahṛṣṭānāṃ vānarāṇāṃ samutthitaḥ |
bahūnāṃ sumahān nādo meghānām iva garjitam ||6.51.3||
vyaktaṃ sumahatī prītir eteṣāṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ |
tathā hi vipulair nādaiś cukṣubhe varuṇālayaḥ ||6.51.4||
Gaya ng gayon, mula sa mga vānarang labis ang galak ay sumiklab ang isang napakalakas na ugong—maraming tinig—na wari’y kulog ng nagngangalit na ulap. Hayag na napakadakila ng kanilang tuwa; walang alinlangan dito. Tunay, sa lawak ng kanilang sigawan ay nayanig at napagulo maging ang karagatan, tahanan ni Varuṇa.
"Many Vanaras have collected together and roared making loud noises just as thunder rumbling clouds. By that there is no doubt that they are very happy. For that reason, even the wide ocean is agitated."

The narrator states “vyaktam… nātra saṃśayaḥ” (“clearly… there is no doubt”), underscoring truthful, unambiguous observation: their joy is evident, and its force is so real that even the ocean is described as agitated.
