The gracious Lord of the Raghus and His brother laughed at the sight of this
amusing spectacle and marched. The Hero of Raghuís line reached the other shore
alongwith the host: the throng of monkey chiefs was beyond all description. The Lord
encamped Himself across the ocean and commanded all the monkeys to go and regale
themselves on the delightful fruit and roots. As soon as they heard this the bears and
monkeys ran off in all directions. All the trees bore fruit in the interest of ›r∂ Råma in
season or out of season without any regard to the laws of time. The bears and monkeys
would eat the luscious fruit, shake the trees and hurl hill-tops towards La∆kå. If they ever
found a straggling demon anywhere, they all hemmed him in and teased him not a little;
nay, they would bite off his nose and ears and let him go only after reciting to him the
Lordís fair renown. Those who had thus lost their nose and ears went and related
