ìDid you meet them or did they beat their retreat on hearing my fair renown? Why
should you not speak of the enemyís prowess and strength; your wits seem utterly
dazed.î (53)

ì My lord, just as you have so kindly put these questions to me, so do you believe
what I say and be not angry. No sooner had your younger brother (Vibh∂aƒa) met ›r∂
Råma then the latter applied the sacred mark of sovereignty on his forehead. When the
monkeys heard that we were Råvaƒaís (Your majestyís) spies, they bound us and
persecuted us in many ways. They were about to cut off our ears and nose; but when
we adjured them by Råma not to do so, they let us go. You have enquired, my lord, about
›r∂ Råmaís army; but a thousand million tongues would fail to describe it. It is a host of
bears and monkeys of diverse hue and gruesome visage, huge and terrible. He who
burnt your capital and killed your son (Aka) is the weakest of all the monkeys. The army
includes innumerable champions with as many names, fierce and unyielding monsters of
vast bulk and possessing the strength of numberless elephants.î (1ó4)
