On this side (standing on the sea-coast) the monkeys thought to themselves, “The time-limit (fixed by Sugr¶va) has expired, yet nothing has been done.” Sitting together they all said to one another, “Without obtaining any news (about S¶tŒ) what shall we gain by returning to KiƒkindhŒ either?” Said A˘gada with eyes full of tears, “It is death for us both ways. (the lord of monkeys) will behead us. He would have finished me immediately my father was killed, had not Ýr¶ RŒma protected me; hence I owe no gratitude to him.” Again and again A˘gada told them all, “Our death has arrived: there is no doubt about it.” When the monkey chiefs heard A˘gada’s words, they could make no answer and tears rolled from their eyes. For a moment they remained plunged in sorrow; but at last they spoke as follows: “We are not going to return without obtaining S¶tŒ’s news, O sagacious prince!” So saying all the monkeys went to the sea-shore and spreading KuÜa grass there squatted on it. Seeing A˘gada’s distress JŒmbavŒn (the old bear chief) gave a highly instructive discourse. “Imagine not RŒma to be a mortal, dear child; know Him to be the same as Brahma (the Supreme Spirit) without attributes, invincible and unborn. We, His servants, are all highly blessed in that we are ever devoted to the same Brahma endowed with a qualified form. (1—7)
