On seeing him angry, dazzling like the
death of time at the dissolution of the worlds,
hundreds of those Vānaras ran in every direction
with their limbs quivering in fear.

Then, all those great Vānaras
went to the palace of Sugreeva
and informed him of the
arrival of the angry Lakshmaṇa.
4.31.22 தாரயா ஸஹித: காமீ
ஸக்த: கபிவ்ருஷோ ரஹ: ।
ந தேஷாம் கபிஸிம்ஹாநாம்
ஸுஸ்ராவ வசநம் ததா ॥
tārayā sahitaḥ kāmī
saktaḥ kapivṛṣō rahaḥ ।
na tēṣāṃ kapisiṃhānām
ṡuṡrāva vacanaṃ tadā ॥
Indulged in dalliance with Tārā (Ruma?)
in his private quarters, that bull among Vānaras
did not hear what those lions among Vānaras said.

ஹரயோ ரோமஹர்ஷணா: ।
கிரிகுஞ்ஜர மேகாபா

tatassacivasandiṣṭā
harayō rōmaharṣaṇāḥ ।
girikuñjara mēghābhā
nagaryā niryayustadā ॥
Then those Vānaras, who made one’s hair stand on its end
with their huge bodies that rivalled hills, elephants and clouds,
came out of the city, ordered by the ministers.

ஸர்வே விக்ருததர்ஸநா: ।

nakhadaṃṣṭrāyudhā ghōrāḥ
sarvē vikṛtadarṡanāḥ ।
sarvē ṡārdūladarpāṡca
sarvē ca vikṛtānanāḥ ॥
All of them looked terrible
with their nails and teeth for weapons.
With their frightful faces,
they exuded the pride of tigers.

Some had the strength of ten elephants,
others of a hundred; yet others were
equal in prowess to a thousand elephants.

The angry Lakshmaṇa took a look at
Kishkindhā that looked invincible,
guarded everywhere by those immensely strong
Vānaras armed with trees in their hands.
4.31.27 ததஸ்தே ஹரயஸ்ஸர்வே
ப்ராகாரபரிகாந்தராத் ।
நிஷ்க்ரம்யோதக்ரஸத்த்வாஸ்து

And all those Vānaras, with their
immense strength in display, emerged
in between the ramparts of the moats,
stationing themselves prominently visible.

That Veera once again fell into a
swoon of anger, thinking of
Sugreeva’s indifference and
his own brother’s urgency.

Heaving long and hot sighs,
and his eyes turning blood-red with wrath,
that tiger among men looked like fire, billowing smoke.

ஸாயகாஸநபோகவாந் ।
ஸ்வதேஜோவிஷஸங்காத:
பஞ்சாஸ்ய இவ பந்நக: ॥
bāṇaṡalyasphurajjihvaḥ
sāyakāsanabhōgavān ।
svatējōviṣasaṅghātaḥ
pañcāsya iva pannagaḥ ॥
He looked like a five-headed serpent,
the tips of the arrows for its flicking tongues,
the bow for its hood, and the dread power
that filled him, for its store of poison. Lakshmaṇa is considered the Avatāra of Adiṡesha.
4.31.31 தம் தீப்தமிவ காலாக்நிம்

Aṅgada, worried out of fear of him,
approached him who looked as fierce as
the conflagration of the world’s end
and as angry as an enraged tusker.

And that greatly renowned one,
whose eyes were red with anger,
told Aṅgada, ‘My dear, let Sugreeva
know of my coming, and say this:’
4.31.34 ஏஷ ராமாநுஜ: ப்ராப்த:

‘This is the younger brother of Rāma,
O subduer of foe, who has come to see you.
This is Lakshmaṇa simmering (with anger) for the
suffering of his brother, standing at your door.
O Vānara, if you please, do what he says’
Say this, my dear, O subduer of foe,
and come back here quick.

pitussamīpamāgamya
saumitrirayamāgataḥ ॥
Hearing those words of Lakshmaṇa
Aṅgada was gripped with sadness.
Then he went to his father and
told him that Sowmitri had arrived. It is a convention in Indic culture to refer to uncle also as father, if the uncle happens to play the role of the father.
4.31.36 ஸ நித்ராமதஸம்வீதோ

The Vānara, drunk and in stupor
did not know (what was happening).
He was intoxicated with drinks
and sunk in deep infatuation.

Meanwhile, the Vānaras, besides themselves
with fright at the sight of the angry Lakshmaṇa,
screamed and chattered, trying to earn his pleasure.

tē mahaughanibhaṃ dṛṣṭvā
vajrāṡanisamasvanam ।
siṃhanādaṃ samaṃ cakruḥ
lakṣmaṇasya samīpataḥ ॥
Seeing him come like a torrent,
they came near Lakshmaṇa and made
a din that was as loud as the
sound of Vajra and thunder.
4.31.39 தேந ஸப்தேந மஹதா

tēna ṡabdēna mahatā

With that great din, the Vānara (Sugreeva)
whose eyes were red with intoxication
came into his senses, with his
garlands and ornaments in disarray.
