ए कपि सब सुग्रीव समाना। इन्ह सम कोटिन्ह गनइ को नाना॥ राम कृपाँ अतुलित बल तिन्हहीं। तृन समान त्रेलोकहि गनहीं॥ अस मैं सुना श्रवन दसकंधर। पदुम अठारह जूथप बंदर॥ नाथ कटक महँ सो कपि नाहीं। जो न तुम्हहि जीतै रन माहीं॥ परम क्रोध मीजहिं सब हाथा। आयसु पै न देहिं रघुनाथा॥ सोषहिं सिंधु सहित झष ब्याला। पूरहीं न त भरि कुधर बिसाला॥ मर्दि गर्द मिलवहिं दससीसा। ऐसेइ बचन कहहिं सब कीसा॥ गर्जहिं तर्जहिं सहज असंका। मानहु ग्रसन चहत हहिं लंका॥

Meaning"These monkeys are all the equals of Sugriva; who can count the crores (more) like them? By Rama's grace their strength is matchless; they reckon the three worlds as a straw. So I have heard with my ears, Ten-headed one — eighteen padmas of monkey troop-leaders. Lord, there is not in the army that monkey who would not conquer you in battle. In utmost wrath they all wring their hands, but Raghunath gives not the order; (else) they would dry up the ocean with its fish and serpents, or fill it brimful with huge mountains; they would crush the Ten-headed one and grind him to dust — such words all the monkeys say. They roar and threaten, fearless by nature, as though they would devour Lanka. Heroes by nature are all the monkeys and bears, and over their heads is the Lord Rama; they could win in battle even a crore of Deaths, let alone Ravana."
