Those men who worship anyone else, giving up such a (benign) lord, are mere
beasts without a tail and a pair of horns. Recognizing Vibh∂aƒa as His own man the Lord
accepted him in His service; the amiability of His disposition gladdened the heart of the
whole monkey host. Then the All-wise, who dwells in the heart of all, is manifest in all
forms, though bereft of all and unconcerned, and who had appeared in human semblance
with a specific motive and as the exterminator of the demon race, spoke words strictly
observing the rules of decorum: ìListen, O lord of the monkeys and O valiant sovereign
of La∆kå, how are we to cross the deep ocean full of alligators, snakes and all varieties
of fishes, most unfathomable and difficult to cross in everyway?î ìListen, O Lord of the
Raghus,î replied the king of La∆kå, ìAlthough Your arrow ifself can dry up innumerable
oceans, yet propriety demands that You should approach the ocean and request the
deity presiding over it (to allow You a passage).

ìMy lord, the deity presiding over the ocean is an ancestor of Yours; hence he
will think over the question and suggest some means (of crossing the ocean).* The
whole host of bears and monkeys will thus be able to cross the ocean without much
ado.î (50)

* It is stated in the Råmåyaƒa of Vålm∂ki and other scriptures that the bed of the ocean was dug by King
Sagara, hence it is known by the name of ëSågara.í King Sagara was an ancestor of ›r∂ Råma and thus the
deity presiding over the ocean is also spoken of by Vibh∂aƒa as a forefather of the Lord.
