Ascending (Mahendra), that foremost of monkeys endued with exceeding strength, and resembling Mahendra himself in prowess, began to range from one mighty summit to another.
ततस्तु मारुतप्रख्यः स हरिर्मारुतात्मजः। आरुरोह नगश्रेष्ठं महेन्द्रमरिमर्दनः॥ वृतं नानाविधैः पुष्पैर्मृगसेवितशाद्वलम्। लताकुसुमसम्बाधं नित्यपुष्पफलद्रुमम्॥ सिंहशार्दूलसहितं मत्तमातङ्गसेवितम्। मत्तद्विजगणोद्धृष्टं सलिलोत्पीडसंकुलम्॥ महद्भिरुच्छ्रितः शृङ्गैर्महेन्द्रस्य महाबलः। विचचार हरिश्रेष्ठो महेन्द्रसमविक्रमः।॥
