Hearing Hanuman's words, Sugrīva-lord of monkeys, becoming visible (at his will), gladly spoke to Rāghava, sir, you are versed in morality, and bear love towards all. The son of the wind-god has faithfully described your virtues to me.
श्रुत्वा हनूमतो वाक्यं सुग्रीवो वानराधिपः। दर्शनीयतमो भूत्वा प्रीत्योवाच च राघवम्॥ भवान् धर्मविनीतश्च सुतपाः सर्ववत्सलः। आख्याता वायुपुत्रेण तत्त्वतो मे भवद्गुणाः॥
