Seeing Rāma seated at his case in that best of mountains abounding in Sāla flowers, and cheerful like the ocean, Sugrīva from love spoke to Rāma sweet and excellent words, of which the letters vibrated with delight.
सुखोपविष्टं रामं तु प्रसन्नमुदधिं यथा। सालपुष्पावसंकीर्णे तस्मिन् गिरिवरोत्तमे॥ ततः प्रहृष्टः सुग्रीवः श्लक्ष्णया शुभया गिरा। उवाच प्रणयाद् रामं हर्षव्याकुलिताक्षरम्॥
