And each apart remaining at no great distance from the others, Gaja, Gavākha and Gavaya, Sarabha, Gandhamādana, Mainda, Dwivida, and Hanumān, Jambavān, the youthful prince Angada, and Tārā, remaining in sight of the wood, after having searched the South-lands covered with mountain ranges, were searching (about), when they espied an unenclosed cavity, difficult of entry, named Věkşavila, guarded by a Dānava. And tried by hunger and thirst, worn out with fatigue, seeking for water, they found that cavity surrounded by trees and plants. And, with their bodies drenched and reddened with lotus dust, Kraunchas and swans and cranes and Chakravākas, came out of the cavity.
परस्परेण रहिता अन्योन्यस्याविदूरतः। गजो गवाक्षो गवयः शरभो गन्धमादनः॥ मैन्दश्च द्विविदश्चैव हनूमान् जाम्बवानपि। अङ्गदो युवराजश्च तारश्च वनगोचरः॥ गिरिजालावृतान् देशान् मार्गित्वा दक्षिणां दिशम्। विचिन्वन्तस्ततस्तत्र ददृशुर्विवृतं बिलम्॥ दुर्गमृक्षबिलं नाम दानवेनाभिरक्षितम्। क्षुत्पिपासापरीतास्तु श्रान्तास्तु सलिलार्थिनः॥ अवकीर्णं लतावृक्षैर्ददृशशुस्ते महाबिलम्। तत्र क्रौञ्चश्च हंसाश्च सारसाश्चापि निष्क्रमन्॥ जलार्दाश्चकवाकाश्च रक्ताङ्गाः पद्मरेणुभिः।
