Nay, who is possessed of prowess and knows what is right? Who is conscious of services done, truthful of speech and firm of resolve? (2) Who is possessed of right conduct and who is friendly toall living beings? Who is a man of knowledge? Nay, who is powerful and who has a singularly lovable appearance? (3) Who has subdued his self? Who has conquered anger? Who is possessed of splendour and who is above fault-finding, and whom do the very gods dread when his wrath has been (apparently) provoked in battle? (4) 1 wish to hear this; for there is a great curiosity in my mind about it, while you are capable of knowing such a man. O eminent seer!" (5) Hearing this appeal of Valmiki, the sage Narada, who possessed knowledge of the three worlds, said, “Listen!” and greatly delighted, addressed the following words:—(6) I shall (duly) consider and tell you (of such a hero). Be pleased to hear (from me) of the man endowed with the manifold and rare virtues that have been described by you.

(39-40) Entering the great fe ogre Viradha, the lotus-eyed Rama saw one after another the sages Sarabhanga and Sutiksna as well as Agastya and his brother (Idhmavahana). Nay, at the instance of Agastya himself he accepted with supreme delight a bow, a sword, a pair of quivers containing an inexhaustible store of arrows, (all) bestowed (upon the sage) by Indra (the lord of paradise). While the aforesaid Rama was sojourning in the forest with foresters, all the seers (dwelling in the forest) called (on him) with a request to make short work of the demons and ogres (haunting the forest). In the presence of those seers dwelling in the forest of Dandaka and glorious as fire Sti Rama then agreed to kill the ogres in that forest. Nay, the destruction of the ogres in an encounter was solemnly promised by Rama. (41—45) The ogress Sirpanakha (so-called because the monstress possessed nails as big as a winnowing fen). who dwelt in Janasthdna (a portion of the Dandaka forest) and was capable of assuming any form at will, was disfigured by Sri Rama (by having her nose and ears lopped off by Laksmana) while living in that very forest.

(68) Reassuring Tara (his devoted and sagacious wife, who discouraged him by pleading that Sugriva had since secured the alliance of Sri Rama and as such could no longer be conquered), he then closed with Sugriva and in the course of that (very) encounter Sri Rama (the celebrated scion of Raghu) disposed of Vali with a single arrow. (69) Having (thus) killed Vali on the field of battle at the instance of Sugriva, Sti Rama (a scion of Raghu) then installed Sugriva himself on Vali's throne. (70) Bringing together all the monkeys, the said Sugriva (the jewel among the monkeys) too despatched them in all directions, keen as he was to have Sita (the daughter of Janaka) traced out.
