And they, given to the drinking of honey, attacking the guards who were approaching by hundreds gave them a sound beating. Some monkeys, collecting honey with their hands measuring a Droņa, (In common use a measure of thirty-two seers of rather more than sixty four Ibs. quadrupeds) drank it; others collecting themselves delightedly into a band spoiled it; while other yellow-coloured monkeys drank and sprinkled it And some, being beside themselves with intoxication, struck others with the remaining quantity, while others waited at the foot of the trees, holding their boughs.
उत्पत्य च ततः सर्वे वनपालान् समागतान्। ते ताडयन्तः शतश: सक्ता मधुवने तदा॥ मधूनि द्रोणमात्राणि बाहुभिः परिगृह्य ते। पिबन्ति कपयः केचित् सङ्घशस्तत्र हृष्टवत्॥ घ्नन्ति स्म सहिताः सर्वे भक्षयन्ति तथापरे। केचित् पीत्वापविध्यन्ति मधूनि मधुपिङ्गलाः॥
