O foremost of monkeys, what you have said, shall undoubtedly be carried out into action. As long as my stories shall be current on earth your fame shall exist and life shall in your body. And as long as the world shall exist my themes shall be related. I cannot, even at the sacrifice of my life, release myself from the debts of one good service out of the many, you have done for me, O monkey; and I shall for ever remain indebted to you for your last benefaction. Of let them wear out in me, for men, at the time of danger, become worthy of having their benefits returned.
एवमेतत्कपिश्रेष्ठ भविता नात्र संशयः। चरिष्यति कथा यावदेषा लोके च मामिका॥ तावचे भविता कीर्तिः शरीरेऽप्यसवस्तथा। लोका हि यावत्स्थास्यन्ति तावत्स्थास्यन्ति मे कथाः।। एकैकस्योपकारस्य प्राणान्दास्यामि ते कये। शेषस्येहोपकाराणां भवाम ऋणिनो वयम्॥ मदङ्गे जीर्णतां यातु यत्त्वयोपकृतं कपे। नरः प्रत्युपकाराणामापत्स्वायाति पात्रताम्।।२४
