Having placed on his laps the long-armed Angada and Hanuman, the mighty car-warriorthe lotus-eyed Rāma said to Sugrīva “Angada is your good son and Hanuman is your wise councillor. O Sugriva, these are always engaged in my well-being and in giving me good counsels. For you, therefore, O king of monkeys, I should honour them in various ways.”
हनूमन्तं च नृपतिरिक्ष्वाकूणां महारथः। अङ्गदं च महाबाहुमङ्कमारोप्य वीर्यवान्॥ रामः कमलपत्राक्षः सुग्रीवमिदमब्रवीत्। अङ्गदस्ते सुपुत्रोऽयं मन्त्री चाप्यनिलात्मजः॥ सुग्रीवमन्त्रिते युक्तौ मम चापि हिते रतौ। अर्हतो विविधां पूजां त्वत्कृते वै हरीश्वर॥
