Some monkeys with acknowledged, valour were born to female monkeys with tails Similarly some other monkeys were born to female bears and female kinnaras.

The Rakshasa guard greeted the king saying, "Let you be victorious!" and announced reverentially, "Prahastha, the army chief has arrived."

Pacifying them all, Dusana regathered them again and ran towards Rama like an angry Yama rushing towards Rudra.
निस्संशयं मया मन्ये पुरा वीर कदर्यया।पातुकामेषु वत्सेषु मातृ़णां शातितास्स्तनाः।।
O valiant one, in my previous birth I must have undoubtedly hacked off the udders of cows when the calves were thirsting for milk from their mothers.

Then the king of Lanka after entering the city of Lanka, felt humiliated by Ramas arrow, vanity crushed and had lost control over his senses.
तपसासेतुबन्धेनसागरोच्छोषणेनच ।सर्वथासुसमर्थोऽस्मिसागरस्यास्यलङ्घने ।।
"By austerity or by drying up the ocean or by any other means, I am capable of crossing the ocean."

There is nothing left to be done by me except your consecration Hence you should perform what I tell you.
निश्चेष्टानां वधो राजन्कुत्सितो जगतीपतेः।क्रतुमध्योपनीतानां पशूनामिव राघव।।
O prince of the Raghu race just as the animal brought in the midst of a sacrifice should not be killed, so also for a king to kill any harmless creature is despicable.
लक्ष्मणेन सहायेन वनं गच्छस्व पुत्रक।नेयमर्हति कल्याणी वस्तुं तापसवद्वने।।
Go, O son to the forest with Lakshmana as your companion. But this auspicious Sita, will not be able to live in the jungle like a hermit.
केनायमुपदिष्टस्ते विनाशः पापकर्मणा।सपुत्रस्य सराष्ट्रस्य सामात्यस्य निशाचर।।
Who is that sinner who has given you this advice which will spell destruction on you, your sons, your kingdom and your ministers ?
दीप्तपावकसङ्काशैश्शितैःकाञ्चनभूषणैः ।नत्वामिच्छाम्यहंद्रष्टुंरामेणनिहतंशरैः ।।
"While the sharp golden arrows of Rama burning like fire strike you, I do not wish to see."
सचपत्रलघुर्भूत्वाहरिभिर्दर्शितेभये ।अन्तरिक्षेस्थितोभूत्वापुनर्वचनमब्रवीत् ।।
Suka, felt secure in the air and finding monkeys also settled, once again spoke these words.
स सुरेन्द्रेण संयुक्तो रामस्सर्वामरैस्सह।उपयातो जनस्थानं ब्रूहि कच्चिदकम्पन।।
Did Rama come to Janasthana with Indra and the gods ? O Akampana speak.
अथ भ्रातरमव्यग्रं प्रियं रामः प्रियंवदः।सौमित्रिं तमुवाचेदं ब्रह्मेव त्रिदशेश्वरम्।।
Sweettongued Rama calmly said to his brother Lakshmana like Brahma addressing Indra
साहं त्यक्ता प्रियार्हेण रामेण विदितात्मना।।प्राणांस्त्यक्ष्यामि पापस्य रावणस्य गता वशम्।
"Separated from the wise Rama who deserves pleasant things I will give up life being under the clutches of the sinful Ravana. Thus ends the twentysixth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
कृतंपरमकळ्याणंकर्मदुष्करकर्मणा ।अद्यमन्येहतेपुत्रेरावणंनिहतंयुधि ।।
"You have done an extremely beneficial task which is difficult for others to do. I think Ravana is killed in the battle with your action of killing Indrajith."
ततःप्रत्युषसिप्राप्तेप्राप्तधर्मार्थनिश्चयः ।राक्षसाधिपतेर्वेश्मभीमकर्माविभीषणः ।।
Thereafter, determined to relate about righteous and material gains, Vibheeshana of fierce tasks got up early in the morning when the Sun rose and set himself to go to the residence of Lord of Rakshasas.
निराशानिहतेपुत्रेदत्त्वाश्राद्धमचेतना ।अग्निमावेक्ष्यतेनूनमापोवापिप्रवेक्ष्यति ।।
Son killed, Kausalya will be disappointed, lost sentience will be offering obsequies, surely and enter fire or water and drown.
स हि प्राप्तं न जानीते कालं कालविदां वरः।विश्वामित्रो महातेजाः किं पुनर्यः पृथग्जनः।।
If the brilliant and the most distinguished of those who knew the value of time did not realise the passing of time, what can be said of an ordinary person?
अथ वर्षसहस्रेण योक्त्रसर्पशिरांसि च।वमन्त्यति विषं तत्र ददंशुर्दशनैश्शिला:।।
After a thousand years, the hoods of the snake made as rope vomitted venom and started biting the rocks of the Mandara mountain with their teeth.
पृष्ठमारोह मे देवि मा विकाङ्क्षस्व शोभने।योगमन्विच्छ रामेण शशाङ्केनेव रोहिणी।।
"O god like lady climb up my back. Do not be reluctant. Join Rama just as Rohini unites with the Moon, O beautiful one
अप्राप्तमन्तरारामःसप्तभिस्तमजिह्मगैः ।चिच्छेदगिरिशृङ्गंतंपुनःसन्धायकार्मुकम् ।।
Rama once again taking the bow, split the peak of the mountain with seven unfailing arrows on its way even before it reached the target.
इत्युक्तोदेवराजेनमातलिर्देवसारथिः ।।प्रणम्यशिरसादेवंततोवचनमब्रवीत् ।
Lord of Devas having spoken that way, the charioteer of Devas offering salutations to Devas in obedience spoke these words.
ततः प्रदीप्तलाङ्गूलस्सविद्युदिव तोयदः।भवनाग्रेषु लङ्काया विचचार महाकपिः।।
The great Hanuman, with his burning tail wandered on tops of the mansions of Lanka, which looked like clouds with lightning.
स संज्ञांप्राप्यतेजस्वीचिक्षेपशिखरंगिरेः ।अर्दितस्तत्प्रहारेणकम्पनःपतितोभुवि ।।
Rejuvenated Angada, after gaining consciousness acquired a mountain peak and shattered Kampana with a blow. wounded Kampana fell down.
ततस्तेष्ववसन्नेषु भूमौ निपतितेषु च।तत्सैन्यमगमत्सर्वं दिशोदश भयार्दितम्।।
Struck by fear on seeing Hanuman, the seven sons of ministers dropped down dead on the ground, and their army fled in all the ten directions.
अथवा निहिता मन्ये रावणस्य निवेशने।।नूनं लालप्यते सीता पञ्जरस्थेव शारिका।
"Or, I think Sita might have been imprisoned in a cage like a myna in Ravanas palace. She will be surely crying.
सन्ध्यारागोत्थितैस्ताम्रैरन्तेष्वधिक पाण्डरैः।स्निग्धैरभ्रपटच्छेदैर्बद्धव्रणमिवाम्बर।।
The sky looks as though its wounds are dressed with pale white moistureladen bandage cloths of clouds, red in the border, tinged as they are with the glow of twilight.
सेन्द्रानपि सुरान्सर्वांस्त्वं बाणैः पुरुषर्षभ।समर्थस्समरे हन्तुं किं पुन र्वालिनं प्रभ।।
O bull among men, O lord, you are capable of killing with your arrows even the gods including Indra in the battle, what to speak of Vali.
दीप्तपावकसङ्काशो द्युतिमान्समरध्वजः।अपविद्धश्च भग्नश्च कस्य साङ्ग्रामिको रथः।।
Whose war chariot with a battle flag is this, shining like burning fire, turned upside down and broken?
यदि यातिदितेर्गर्भं रावणस्सह सीतया। तत्राप्येनं हनिष्यामि न चेद्दास्यति मैथिलीम्।।
Even if Ravana enters into the womb of Diti mother of demons along with Sita, I will slay him there if he does not return the daughter of Mithila.
अपरे वृक्षमूले तु शाखां गृह्य व्यवस्थिताः।अत्यर्थं च मदग्लानाः पर्णान्यास्तीर्य शेरते।।
Some took branches of trees and rested at the root of trees. Some totally languid lay down spreading leaves due to drinking of sweet drinks.
शङ्खशब्दप्रणादैश्चदुन्दुभीनां च निस्स्वनैः ।प्रययौपुरुषव्याघ्रस्तांपुरींहर्म्यमालिनीम् ।।
Sri Rama the tiger among men went accompanied by sounds of blasts of conches and shouts and roll of drums along the rows of mansions in the city.
ततस्तस्यै प्रणम्याहं राजपुत्र्यै समाहितः।प्रदक्षिणं परिक्राममिहाभ्युद्गतमानसः।।
"Reminded by her again that Rama should turn up soon to take her, I offered reverential salutations by circumambulating her.
पूर्वमेव तु निग्राह्य स्समवेक्ष्य नयानयौ।उत्पथं यस्समारूढो राजा नार्या वशं गतः।।
In the first place, the king could have restrained himself by reflecting on whether the course of action adopted by him under the influence of a woman was just or unjust.
जानुभिस्तु प्रकृष्टाश्च देवमार्गं प्रदर्शिताः।अब्रुवन् परमोद्विग्ना गत्वा दधिमुखं वचः।।
Some were dragged on their knees and tossed up. Some monkeys exhibited their private parts, showing indecent behaviour. Dadhimukha, highly disturbed at this, said

" At this time, you will see a relation doing that which is right out of affection. All enemies will be destroyed."

"O largeeyed one you are endowed with beauty in all limbs. You are the delight of all worlds. I desire you, dear Oblige me.
अर्घ्यं पाद्यं तथाऽतिथ्यं निवेद्य कुशिकात्मजे।रामलक्ष्मणयो: पश्चादकुर्वन्नतिथिक्रियाम्।।
After extending hospitality to the son of Kusika Viswamitra with respectful offerings, and water for washing feet they played the host to Rama and Lakshmana.
माता च मम कौसल्या कुशलं चाभिवादनम्।अप्रमादं च वक्तव्या ब्रूयाश्चैनामिदं वचः।।
