shining in the sky with the brightness of sun,
thus concluded his advice to both Rāma and Lakshmaṇa.
3.73.43 தம் து கஸ்தம் மஹாபாகம்
கபந்தம் ராமலக்ஷ்மணௌ ।
ப்ரஸ்திதௌ த்வம் வ்ரஜஸ்வேதி
வாக்யமூசதுரந்திகே ॥
taṃ tu khasthaṃ mahābhāgam
kabandhaṃ rāmalakṣmaṇau ।
prasthitau tvaṃ vrajasvēti
vākyamūcaturantikē ॥
And at the end of it, they, Rāma and Lakshmaṇa,
set out on their journey, told Kabandha,
the blessed one, who was in the sky, ‘Farewell to you’.
3.73.44 கம்யதாம் கார்யஸித்த்யர்தம்

gamyatāṃ kāryasiddhyartham
iti tāvabravītsa ca ।
suprītau tāvanujñāpya
kabandhaḥ prasthitastadā ॥
‘May you proceed and be successful in your endeavor”,
said Kabandha, a man of great discipline, to both of them,
and left, taking proper leave of them.
3.73.45 ஸ தத்கபந்த: ப்ரதிபத்ய ரூபம்

sa tatkabandhaḥ pratipadya rūpaṃ
vṛtaṡṡriyā bhāskaratulyadēhaḥ ।
nidarṡayanrāmamavēkṣya khasthaḥ

Kabandha with his new body that shone like the sun,
and with a halo of glory about him,
looked at Rāma from his place in the sky and told him,
‘make friends with Sugreeva’, pointing in that direction.
