پھر سب کے سب پلَوَگوں کے نرشیروں نے—وایو پُتر ہنومانؑ کی قیادت میں—خوشی و اتحاد کے ساتھ مہیندر پربت کو چھوڑا اور بلند جستیں لگاتے آگے بڑھے۔ وہ میرُو اور مندر کے مانند عظیم الجثہ و مہابَل تھے؛ مست ہاتھیوں کی طرح گرجتے ہوئے یوں معلوم ہوتے کہ جستوں میں آکاش کو ڈھانپ دیں۔ سب بھوتوں نے اُس آتمونت، مہابلی، مہاوِیگ ہنومانؑ کی ستوتی کی؛ وانر اُس پر ٹکٹکی باندھے دیکھتے تھے گویا اپنی نگاہوں سے ہی اسے اٹھائے لیے جاتے ہوں۔ رाघو (رام) کے کارْی کو پورا کرنے اور پرم یش پانے کا سنکلپ باندھ کر، وہ سب اپنے اپنے سمرِدھ ارث کے ساتھ یکسو ہوئے اور سِدھیوں سے اُونچے اٹھے۔ سب میٹھی باتوں کے مشتاق، سب یُدھ کے ستائشی، اور سب مضبوط من والے—رام کے پرتی کار میں اپنے ارث پر نِشچت تھے۔
Thereafter led by Hanuman, all the vanaras left Mahendra mountain and marched very happily. The vanaras were strong and huge like elephants and resembled mountain Meru. Moreover when they leaped up they seemed to cover the sky (so it was difficult to tell their numbers). Since Hanuman had accomplished the task, the vanaras were praising his strength, his swiftness and courage. They were looking at Hanuman without blinking their eyes, and seemed as though they were carrying him by their eyes. They were determined in their minds to please Rama. Remaining in a state of offering themselves, some of them more accomplished than others, collected together eager to wage war and talking pleasantly among themselves having resolved to assist Rama.
